He’s DEFINITELY thinking that deep have you been LISTENING to the albums the last 4 years or paying attention to Nas moves?


KD1- First single is ULTRA BLACK. A song and video filled to the brim with black love and pride. That song doesn’t have the FEELING that it does produced by Alchemist. Alchemist don’t know shyt about the black experience I don’t care how many rappers he produces for or how many crates he digs in.

KD2- Nas Is Good first verse and I quote

Touch up the game like a photo edit
Camera roll like Oscar Michaeux, they gotta roll the credits
Like Rome came into Kemet and they stole the essence
Before they watered it down and taught us bogus lessons
Written in stone, write whatever in your history books
Me and ancient Egyptian skin tone had similar looks

Oscar Micheaux was a black film director, one of the very first who actually directed and distributed films featuring ALL BLACK casts and production crews. He did all of his work independently working from scripts he adapted from his own novels.



KD3- “We comin' blacker than Black Panther 2”.

Can’t be coming BLACKER than a film with a 90% black cast rapping over non-black beats

Magic 2- “G.O.A.T. with all the success, the negative press, I'm watchin' it pile (uh)
They sayin' that black music dyin', I'm sayin', "They wipin' us out!"

What would be the best way for a black artist to combat what he feels is the trivialization, minimization, and deprecation of black music? How about collaborating with another BLACK ARTIST for a series of albums that sees these BLACK ARTISTS win a Grammy, be nominated for 3 more, and experience more good press and accolades than either had received in almost a decade?

The best way would be to feature Eminem :dead:

Nas gonna be in London twice
In August for that show in the park and then November for the Illmatic tour at fancy ass Royal Albert Hall

I saw Jay there in 06 and Nas made a surprise appearance

There’s a few non classical acts who play there but it’s like carniege hall or radio musta city but it’s UK CaCs so even more posh lol

I'm happy to see Nas is actually PROMOTING the song on Social Media. I hope we get the video soon and they go on a press run. Breakfast Club, Hot 97 with Ebro, hell even the interview with Elliot Wilson that he's been begging for for the past 5 years. LETS GET IT ESCO

Didn't Elliot get the interview already?
