‘Tis the season to be fresh. So for Gap‘s new commercial, they commission a list of musicians including Nas and his pops, Jazz musician Olu Dara Jones. That’s what you call Bridging The Gap.
very rare
Another win for hip hop
Yo i remember the MTV diary Nas did around the time Stillmatic came out & him telling his manager no to doing ads(i think it was a beer ad) because he wasn’t a sell out, life is ill
Its so many of us that can’t do that or know how that feels. Nas and his father are blessed and that’s why we, as young fathers need to raise our sons and daughters like we should have been. It will stop the killings, early pregnancies and drug abuse. We need Strong Fathers for our children.
He’s didn’t say anything about never doing ads. He said would never do any “alcohol” ads. Claimed they offered him 250k.
@Yourmothersfriend, he turned the ads down cos it was liquor and didnt want to promote for whatever reasons.
Steve stoute(spellcheck) still his manager? He always pulls of good cross promotions for Rappers.
do your thing Nas, get that ad money fuck what they say.
@Your mother’s “friend” he said he won’t do alcohol ads because he saw what it did to kids in the hood,,,,,who the target audience would of been? ‘kids in the hood’
@Mike, Stevie stopped being Nas’s manager for a while. Matter of fact Steve Stoute stopped fucking with the music industry after d Nas gig.
Stoute aint directly managing but they seem to be still close. The way Def Jam promoted Life is Good has Stoute’s fingerprints all over it.
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS… GET THAT ✓
Nas’ manager name is Anthony Saleh…he is a very INTELLIGENT young man with the mind of a 60 year old investment banker. Nas & Anthony are involved in things beyond hip hop and that is why I laugh at those who speculate about Nas’ $$$$! Nasir Jones is NOT worried!
This ad is a great representation for hip hop and a change from the usual liquor & champagn endorsements all of hip hop seems to be involved with. Nas has always been different from his peers. Keep “Bridging The Gap” Nasir & Olu Dara!
@Real Talk, cosignee, Nas, Anthony Saleh, GCode and d rest of the emagen management been handling their business like its supposed to while these no life having peeps keep counting their pockets as if they have achieved anything in their own lives. I guess for some strange reasons it makes em feel good about themselves.
Nas isn’t afraid to show sides of himself that other rappers are, even though Nas isn’t a rapper, he’s an MC. Respectable.
dope.
