A lot of people have been lashing out at Nas for working with Young Money members. They believe Nas shouldn't work with rappers that are termed commercial. Nicki Minaj just dropped her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, and one of the outstanding tracks on the album is "Champion", which featuring Drake, Young Jeezy and Nas. Right now, nas has worked with Lil Wayne, Tyga and then Nicki Minaj.
Personally, as a rap enthusiast, and a Nas fan, i don't see anything wrong with it. As long as the songs nas was featured on were rap songs, and he didn't do anything other than "rap" on them, then i don't see anything wrong with that. He definitely couldn't have said no to them for coming up to him for a guest appearance. I am even surprised he didn't have a spot on Drake's album. I can remember Drake saying he was studying nas before he dropped Thank Me Later.
Nas is going to drop his 10th album, Life is Good anytime soon, so, it is for his own good that he gets out there more. As long as he doesn't compromise his legendary status, there is nothing wrong with Nas working with the Young Money crew. There has been a lot of noise on how good nas is as a rapper, isn't it good that the young rap listeners get to listen to Nas's greatness.
But the only problem is that nas is not at his greatness hen he tries to "dumb-down" his lyrics, which is the case with the Nicki feature. But he was gret on the Wayne collabo, and the Tyga guest appearance.
