Throwback Thursday Nas is Like – Nas

I don’t know what high school was like in the 90’s but I do know what “Nas is Like”! Admittingly I couldn’t relate to illmatic,couldn’t read “it was written” and could give to shit on what “I am…” but this was my joint. I knew about Primo’s beats before I knew who a Gangstarr was. Shouts to Guru. After Nas is Like I was a different human being. I stole my fathers movado, wore timbs and oversized jeans and knew I was hard. Long Island is a world away from Queensbridge but you couldn’t tell me I couldn’t rep. What thoughts did this joint envoke in you?

Jaz-O Responds To Hov Lines On Luda Track

Once again Pardon Me for being away in the mountains again my Dukes. On my hiatus from the net I see Luda teamed up with Jay and NaS for a track off Theater Of The Mind. Turns out Jaz-O wasn’t too happy about some lyrics Hov spit on it. I mean really my Dukes some times you have to let things go. Looks like dreams that shouldv’e been given up a LONG time ago.

Hate on NaS…NOW!!!

HWT NaS

As told to Goat by WHOA:

WHOA says, Hate on Nas…why? There are many reasons, the first?? What ever happened to the whole DJ Premier / Nas album collaboration? I have a clue. NaS feels Premo is no longer relevant enough to help him sell significant records in todays market. This would be a good point if only Nas himself was relevant enough to sell records in todays market. Look at dudes last two releases. Hip Hop is Dead & the infamous “Nigger” or “Untitled”. Hip Hop Is Dead debuted at #1 but only sold a little over 350,000 copies in its first week. We all remember the singles as they were rolled out and the lackluster production that kept this album from reaching platinum status.

“Nastradoomus Pt. 2″ – NaS & MF DOOM Mash-Up

NaS & MF DOOM

So it seems the masked figure, MF DOOM, is at it again with his remixes of classic material. Here is his second ode to the classic joints of Queens legend, NaS. His remixes are known to be better than the originals from time to time & this album could end up in that same category. For now I’ll leave you with remixed version of It Ain’t Hard To Tell until the full album is available. If you can’t wait, go over to Turntable Lab & cop your own copy.

Video: “Yall My Niggas” (Fan Video)

I don’t know how this visiual nearly slipped by me. Arguably the best video I’ve seen related to the disappointment known as the Untitled LP. NaS sold that ship out…
