“All them dudes that talk about retirement and shit—God bless ’em. I’m not one of them dudes. When you’re in this business as long as me, you’re gonna retire to do what? I love what I do so much, I don’t foresee retirement ever. I’m probably gonna be one of the first muthafuckas on some Quincy Jones shit. I want to be able to put out a Q’s Jook Joint when I’m 65 years old.”

I hear you Bussa-Bus. No beach chair for YN either. Ha!

de la soul-rapradar.com

In my humble opinion, this is the only listenable song off this legendary group’s latest project with Nike. It’s not always about postin’ music—just because it’s new. At Rap Radar, we occasionally put up new music we personally co-sign. You might wanna try that sometime.

New York interviews Nasir’s ol’ man, Olu Dara. Father always knows best.

He also raps about you, most notably on “Poppa Was a Player.”

Oh, I heard that in the street one day. Years ago, I was walking down

the street, and I heard his voice, and I asked the guys on the stoop,

who is that? They said, that’s Nas! Looking at me like an old man, ‘you

don’t know about this shit.’ They said, ‘he’s talking about his father

Olu.’ And they kept listening. I said, ‘I’m Olu.’ And they looked at me

like, ‘get the hell out of here.’
