Incase you dont know, veteran rapper, nas is presently working on his tenth studio album. There has been a lot of talks on which producers would be featured on the masterpiece; from kanye west, to dr dre, to alchemist, to swizz beats, but one producer we are sure of at this point is the man that gave us the LIL WAYNE "a millie", BANGLADESH.
Check out what he had to say below:
"I just do what i would like to hear from him. I am a super nas fan. I have been a fan since he came out. Since the first song. With me being a producer and me having a sound, i would like to hear him on harder beats, more 808-driven, just more aggression. With a nas record, typically to me, the songs will make the track good. It's not the track that makes the song good and that is what i want to bring. I want to bring the track and the song so that you are not only jamming to the beat with words on it, but you can jam to the beat and the word on it, but you can jam to the beat and the words and you can jam to the acapella with no beat on it."
This is interesting to me, because that is what i have been telling all these young rap listeners and people that listen to a rap song because it is hot on radio; try and listen to the song without the beat and you would find out that you have been fed garbage. That is the difference between nas and all these other artist, he is actually saying something worth listening to, he is actually making sense with every word.
It is a wonderful thing that bangladesh is actually a nas fan and understands what nas stands for, so he would know how far nas can go in the attempt to make a radio friendly track.
Below is more of what bangladesh had to say:
"I think he is a great songwriter but sometimes his beats aren't as good as his songs. I want to bring the element where it is more aggressive, more heavy, something that's going to pay more attention to nas in an area where he doesn't get looked at a lot."
I just hope bangladesh doesn't try to take nas out of his element. I know IRV GOTTI(C.E.O OF MURDER INC) tried to do it back in 2002; he had already started saying nas was signed to his label, they went on to make a song(nas, jarule and ashanti) back in 2002, but nothing came out of it.
I just hope they are able to pull this off without giving nas a 'sell-out artist image'.
