There's still other things she's said and a bunch of rumors from connected posters on Reddit that make me strongly feel Nas is cooking something and it'll be released before the end of this year. We have 21 days left so we'll see.

I've seen some journalists complain about how aspects of the 50 year anniversary was handled throughout the year, complain about corporate involvement etc but I would hope that everyone can acknowledge how important it's been to get so many legends on record for historical preservation. And getting them paid, shout outs to Nas for that btw. I hate the way "the culture" has morphed into this weird meaningless phrase many throw around to justify wack shyt they do. The entire point of culture is preserving life, customs and history to be passed on. You do that with literally everything Nas has done this year, from the concert to the museum to the paid in full gala. You do that when rappers keep the legends alive by mentioning them, interviewing them, getting them involved in shyt. I'm not an Em fan but I love how he doesn't hesitate to bringing up Rakim and others in his interviews. Stuff like that compels younger people to check shyt out. I love the way Kendrick, Cole, and even Drake constantly get fans to go back and peep legends.

I’m glad the legends of the late 80s are getting more recognition. It still bothers me that Ra, Kane, G Rap and other NYC golden age rappers faded from the mainstream in the early 90s after 3 or 4 albums. I wish their run was longer. No reason why these theee especially shouldn’t have been making noise well into the 90s like their L.A and Houston counterparts. (NWA members and Geto Boys members)
In Ra’s case it was all Eric B’s fault.
KRS actually made some noise in the 90’s, he got a Gold album in 97. KRS & Rakim’s styles in my opinion were built to last its just their production choices on later albums kind of fell flat.
Kane flopped once and basically said “Ya’ll don’t deserve me” and bowed out. I remember when he did a few tracks on the Afro Samurai soundtrack and RZA was saying that he told Kane to put out another album and Kane basically said “fukk albums! I can just tour”
Nas is nominated for Rapper Of The Year by HipHopDX

Kinda curious if Nas gets royalties/ or gets paid for this.
He was on Sony/ Columbia back then when God's Son dropped so would the NFL have to go through the label? or directly to Nas since it's his song but he doesn't own the masters from those days.
