“He sounds like G Rap, and G Rap don’t sell no records. I’m not fuckin’ with Nas.”— Russell Simmons
This has been floating around for some time, but here is Nasir’s 18-year-old demo tape courtesy of Blind I . According to MC Serch in the April 2009 XXL, he took this tape to Faith Newman-Orbach and David Kahne at Columbia Records after getting snubbed by Uncle Rush the same day. Ironically, Nasty Nas is now on the label Russell built. What goes around comes around, my nigga.
YN Update: This is a collection of more than his actual demo. But good music nonetheless. Edutain yourself, kids.





Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
Put us here if you like. The RR store stays open 24/7. SOPA? Yeah we Showcase Our Product Always. And we're gonna continue straight ahead til somebody up there turns out the lights. Start from scratch? I'm not afraid.
…that this is the same “demo tape” has been passed around on the internet for a while now right? Case & point, J-Love shouts himself out on “Nas Will Prevail”.
Indeed, this demo has been floatin’ around the internet for years now, do your homework!
