Last night the blogosphere got a track from the post-humous Amy Winehouse album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. Recorded in 2008, this song features Salaam Remi on the boards. Great track.
Tyler, The Creator interviews Nas in this one. Pretty interesting idea.
“God’s Son is my favorite album by you,” Tyler said. “And my second is probably Street’s Disciple,” he continued.
“Get the fuck outta here,” Nas responded.
Awkward and quirky exchanges aside, the discussion quickly picked up with the 20-year-old Tyler asking Nas for advice.
“You, Em, Jay, Snoop, like, you guys all started when you was exactly my age,” Tyler said. “The fact that you guys are still here makes me just always think, like, Fuck, could I?”
“Oh, you definitely can,” Nas replied. “Someone like you is, you’re interesting, for a lot of reasons. So someone like you, you can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Here’s the title track from the soundtrack of the new Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy movie The Tower Heist, which looks fucking terrible by the way. Salaam Remi on the boards. Flex tags on it for now.
First single off of his upcoming project Life Is Good.
We’ve got some unreleased Nas on the blogosphere today. Bare bones production let Nasir’s rhymes take center stage. I’m cool with that.
Some unreleased, Trackmaster-produced Nas to make your Monday night a little better. Sounds like it was released around the time of Stillmatic.
Young King Mike Waxx (of illRoots) took the intro, interlude and outro from Tha Carter IV and combined them to create a Megamixx. Good call.
Official visuals to the Common banger that is off of his next album The Dreamer, The Believer.
Green Lantern was able to reunite Queens’ best on stage at a Nas show. The footage comes from Tribe’s Beats Rhymes & Life documentary, which I am dying to see.
Some unreleased Nasir for your Tuesday afternoon. No word on where this will land.
Well as you know I worked with a wide range of talent. One cool dude I got to kick it with was my man Nas. Nas is a talented, funny, cool individual. Actually his brother Jungle, to me is one of the funniest dudes I ever met. Don’t believe me check the N.O.R.E. skits. I must credit Jungle though, he was a visionary with A&R talent as well. This song was done in 2005 while I was recording “Press Play”. This beat was one out of many sitting around. I felt this beat was Hip-Hop and to me I pictured Nas flowing to this beat, it was NYC, Queens, and most of all had substance. Well as we know the track never made the album, however the countless studio sessions with Nas and Keyshia were priceless. They were never in the studio at the sametime. Yummy Bingham originally wrote and referenced the hook. I wish this song made it to Press Play, but it never did, I thought the world could use some blessings from Godson.- A&R Geno Sims
