Love/ Hate
I have always loved Nas’s music. I have always hated Nas’s interviews.
Word. He missed out on two of the years biggest projects
people need to give Nas a break…dude had probably one of the worst years in his personal life & is trying to maintain & keep it together yet people have the nerve to bash him about being on songs…theres more important things than a guest feature…I mean as a fan I would LOVE to have heard him on those songs, but as a human I’m not going to sit here & diss someone who is going through a nasty public divorce in the middle of the birth of his kid because he didn’t do some verses for other people’s albums.
people need to realized that celebs are human too…
^ yeah, ur right. But from what i understand, he committed to appear on OB4CL 2, no?
nasir jones!
best mc
alive
Yeah Rae said Nas never hit him back up. But I do co sign Webstar. That child support shit gotta be stressful
@b.dot, even if he commited, maybe he cdnt go thru cos of everythn he went thru. all yall fans r really selfish. smh @ b.dot sayin he commited. he has a life so let him do him and stop interfering with another mans personal decisions. btw i noe b.dot is d owner of dis site, hence d reason i owned him, get it, OWNER= OWNED HIM. lol
Since when is jumping on a Jay-Z or Raekwon album a once in a lifetime deal for Nas? LOL
Been there, done that (No Dr Dre)
People act like nas is some new artist who needed the guest spots. Big deal if he missed out

Empire State Of Mind is already a classic record. And it wouldve been ill if Nas was a part of that. OB4CL 2 is incredible, and again, Nas couldve been a part of that too
Why help others maintain their brand when there are more important things to focus on? Who knows what label politics were going on behind the scenes as well? Dude has other bosses besides Mrs Jones and The State of California.
Ha, that was an awkward interview. He must have been high as a kite.
and in case people haven’t heard…Nas is going to be on the Empire State of Mind remix according to DJ Green Lantern…who is pretty reliable when it comes to Nas info.
But like I said, people need to lay off of dude & let him deal with his life.
Sure he may have made a commitment…but if you made a commitment & then a major event happened in your life you may have to postpone that commitment…same difference.
Kelis is going to buys shoes with everything Nas made from this performance
Niggas callin songs and albums “classics” so fast now. “Empire State of Mind” is a vanilla……it is no where close to “NY State of Mind”. ESM sounds cheesy…real talk; NYSM is one of the best hip-hop tracks period. BP3 is a decent album but as a whole, it is not a “classic” album. But, try telling this to Jigga stans (I love Jay too but damn…throwaway tracks:VvM, Reminder, Off That, Intro and even ESM in my opinion).
“Nas is going to be on the Empire State of Mind remix according to DJ Green Lantern…who is pretty reliable when it comes to Nas info.”
@webstar…..where did you get that info? it would have been all over the net if that were true….
@ B-Dot, it would been pretty cool to get Nas to jump on that Alicia/Jay track…I will say this though: If he ever did that record, it would have NEVER have gotten the push it has now. Course this is all a moot point cause I dont think Jay thought of putting Nas on the record to begin with
And as far as Raekwon goes. If he was so desperate to get Nas on the record, why didn’t he just press about it while they were on tour at Rock the Bells this summer, instead of going to MTV and Forbez DVD talking about “Oh you promised, you promised” ?
He certainly had time to corner Joe Budden and give him a black eye, why not corner Nas or Green Lantern, slip a recording session on one of the tour buses and be over?
I think people need to remember Rae is not the most organized brother either. It did take him years to put this project together, and that’s not a compliment to his effort.
@ huh?
Green Lantern’s twitter is where I got the info.
He DJs a lot of Nas shows so I consider him pretty reliable
Smarten Up Nas .
nas been a disappoint meant,he was my #1 for the longest, till i startet losing respect for him,
cam put it best, nas isnt a leader,he isnt a friend. lost in his own world.
imagine him as president of defjam,yea right.
oh please… I can NOT stand a Nas STAN! You all are a special breed of human.
I’m more than happy to bash nas.. not for not appearing on features but for being consistently lazy and uninspired. Sometimes he takes this sit too fucking far.
SMH, there are teen pop-princesses and clueless-celebutants with more work ethic than nas..
how can you miss classic after classic? and still nto drop any of your own..? What exactly IS he doing with his time it’s not like he work 40 horus a week?! Let’s talk abotu what’s REALLY REAL!
lol…how is being on tour for the whole summer while working on an album with Damien Marley & going through a divorce during the birth of your child considered lazy? funny…
^^^why dont you marry nas… you stay sucking his dick
lol…so you have to stoop to the level of disrespectful comments.
ha…I’m sucking dick because I’m pointing out that an artist is human…nice line of reasoning…come at me when you got something of substance to say.
Nas don’t need to hop on anything of jay’s or rea’s and all you people sweating Nas about a damn verse…get a life! Nas is your favorite artist dream…beacuse all you haters are mad that Nas did not bless jay and rea with a damn verse…so what? Nas is the GOAT…got niggas hating because he did not hop on records with artists that he already collaborated with in the past…so what chance did he miss out on? you haters are silly…and confused, as well as forgetful!!!
