Official Nas Thread

[JustCKing]

if Timbaland giving Nas those type beats, I want at least half the album done by Timbaland... lol

I didn't expect anything of this caliber. I felt like they could do something nice, but I didn't expect Timbo to lace him with a crazy street banger like this. Nas said that what he and Timbaland did "felt powerful", so I'm excited to hear whatever else they worked on together.

This snippet sounds so fire

I wonder how much Timbaland is involved with Nas' new album. Back in 2013, Tim hinted said that Nas was the only other artist that "really gets him" in Hip Hop. Then Nas said that he started the album with Tim, then took a step back, went back to it, then talked to Tim, Swizz, and No I.D. But yeah, if Timbaland have songs in the stash that are on par or better than the snippet, I hope it's on the album. I think Salaam Remi said that he didn't really work with Nas on this album, so it'd be interesting if Timbaland did the amount of work that Salaam did on Life Is Good.

My concern is that we haven't heard anything from No ID about his contributions to the album. I also happen to loathe Swiss Beats tracks too. IM a little concerned.

Yeah, I'm thinking a Nas interview is probably coming soon. Maybe MTV or somebody interviewed during All Star Weekend or something. Hopefully, he'll give some details about the album whenever he does a new interview.

Genesis is deep, my features are that of a God
It's not a facade it's a fact, these rappers wanna be Nas
My Exodus doesn't exist

Long Live The King!!!

No ID has been hit or miss lately...on the last Common album the beats were

The one Nas picked for LIG were Fire. Hopefully he can pick well again. Didn't Swiss beats have a track leftover from LIG? Maybe that will make it. Statick selectah had 2-3 that may turn up if Def Jam release some additional Nas music. I doubt if they make this album.

I know they're close friends, but why oh why does The GOAT insist on working with Swizz

...and ALC's waiting by the phone for him to dial up his number

...and ALC's waiting by the phone for him to dial up his number:huhdlup:

I told ALC to his face at Rock the Bells to work wit Nas still hasn't happened

Maybe he likes his beats.

 

[Danie84]

I'm trying to think of Nas/Swizz collabo that I actually liked and I coming up blank

...low-key, I always been a fan of Esco/Timbo collabos

He always gives him that aggressive production that make him Go HAM on the content

I actually hope that Swizz track people were going crazy over at the LIG listening party makes it on this album. I remember Swizz saying the track is crazy and was disappointed that it didn't make LIG but Nas told him he's saving it for a future project/album.

From the sound of that Timbo snippet and the Justice League Beat, I got a feeling Nas is going for a harder sound for this album (which would make sense to save the Swizz track for this album)

Nas' boy G-code (from his management team) said Nas' next album will be way crazier than LIG.

, I'm looking forward to it. But not like he's gonna say it'll be worse than LIG.
