It's Illmatic, let it get its mainstream praise breh

Nas might be on J Lo's new album too

There's still no word on what the title of her 10th studio album -- due June 17-- will be, but the project already lists features from Nas, Maxwell, and Chris Brown

Nas - Illmatic | DEHH Classic Reviews

 

[mson]

I'm trying to decode Mastermind.

Look what happened in Manhattan
A couple of years ago when guns started clappin'
Two of my dogs fell, two of my nikkaz ran
They was amateurs in beef with a grown man

I always felt that Nas was talking about the incident between CNN and Junior Mafia in front of Hot 97.

Knownin' that I'm surrounded by OGs that I don't really get down with
They got a seperate table for their freaks bought them drinks
So we could talk man-to-man so real nikkaz could link
I knew, they kill hos too like Ray Carutth
They used to spray troops, now they managing groups
The main nikka sunny had big money since '82
Had two of my dogs whacked, nothing I could do
That was back when I had no crew, I switch that
Now I'm strong with nikkaz who felt Sunny was wrong
My money's long his money is weak, he's losing sleep
Trying to feel me out, to see what it's gonna be
But I'm a Mastermind

Who are these OG's Nas is talking about? I think Sunny is code for Supreme who killed EMoney bags who Nas was cool with and maybe Stretch. Nas also met with Haitian Jack with Lakey the Kid. Haitian Jack and Supreme had dealt with hip hop artists.

But who felt Sunny was wrong?

You know all these nikkas got paid for doing one or two songs.

No new Nas album in 2014 :-(

Member Life is Good! Can we get a few leaks then? Also, if you are in the giving mood, ask Nas about that track Erick Sermon and NaS did for Illmatic?

Erick Sermon Says He Produced A Track For Illmatic (Video) - The Hip Hop Chronicle UK

Eric Sermon is pretty proud of the track although it obviously didn't make the album. Ask Nas. We'd like to know.
