You can what he said below-
“I would say Nas, that’s my favorite rapper. It’s tough, because [Jay-Z] is one of the greatest and many can argue,” he said, “but Nas is so poetic with it and I feel like his lyrics, you can write them down on paper and they will last for time. It would be like literature that we read.”I totally agree with him on that one. And a lot of people that are really into the art will agree with that. Sometimes, it is not about making the hits that no one would care about 5-10 years times; it is about making that timeless music, and sure, Nas makes that.
Nas and Common recently collabed on a track, Ghetto Dreams, and there is talks of a full length collabo album in the making.
And yeah, by the way, that pic is from the photo-shoot of one of Fat Joe;s videos from 1995.
A dear friend of mine, Pat Allocco, is a concert promoter and arranged a gig in Angola for rapper Nas. Nas didn't show up and instead went to Lebron James's party in Miami. Pat went to Angola and was taken at gun-point and interrogated by the Angolan military because without Nas, Pat was in breach of contract and the Angolans wanted their money back. The US Marines intervened and took Pat and his son from the interrogation. They are now in the US embassy but their passports have been seized and they cannot leave the country unless Nas gives back the money he was advanced. Be a man, Nas. A man fulfills his obligations.
