“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. 

Props: SRD via Kanye

YN Update: This is a collection of more than his actual demo. But good music nonetheless. Edutain yourself, kids.

The only surprise guest from last night’s Great Hangover Tour show was Nancy’s baby boy. I missed this cause I had to take a piss and got caught up in a convo with OnSmash’s Hoffa and Jon Caramanica in front of the Men’s. (You can add a Pause here if you like) Anyways, thank you XXL.

Conversing with Shaheem Reid, Drake explains the concept behind his track, “Successful.” At the 2:46 mark, he elucidates why his mother tried to runaway from home. Good thing he caught her in the driveway.
