I didn't mean anything negative with my previous post but I don't think many of you realize how Nas is a busy man outside of music (The Parlor of Hollywood Sports Bar, Ramsey Hair Salons, 12AM Run Sneaker Boutique, HSTRY, Queensbridge VC Firm, Mass Appeal, major investor in several businesses and many other ventures). He is very involved in his businesses. So I don't think that Nas or his team's intention is to mislead his fans and he truly does not intend for you to feel frustrated to the point of speculating because when you create your own ideas of what Nas should be doing on an artistic level and then when those ideas are not what Nas releases you will be disappointed. Music is what afforded him the ability to achieve in other avenues but because he is an artist who for a very long time believed that his music and lyrical craft came first he didn't bring his other creations to the forefront. But after selling way over 25 million records worldwide and continuing to sell out tours worldwide for over 20 years. I would think that Nas is just truly enjoying "the fruits of labor" as well as creating music that relates to his current life and evolution that he hopes his fans will enjoy. He also is very conscious about not overshadowing the album releases of the artists that he respectfully signed to his label. Their creations and careers matter to him beyond his own release right now. But trust he will satisfy your frustration with great music in due time.
