Audio: Nas Interview w/ Tim Westwood

keeping it piling
keep heat with the silencers
learning Greek and Italian
speaking while Kings…

-Nas, Unfinished rhyme, 2010

Gnozir stopped in with Tim to reminisce about old times, talk about Distant Relatives and working with Jr. Gong, the new solo album he’s working on (he says Kanye wants to produce the whole thing. Of course he’ll probably say no and call Salaam Remi. #noshots), and his divorce from Kelis.

    Exactly. He stay bombing Nas. When I see this nigga call Jay-Z a camel Ill believe there’s a little bit of objectivity here.

    Anyways Nas, needs to let Kanye do that…and throw in a Premier beat and No ID beat for kicks.

  15. SilkCityP Says:

    Tim Westwood again? Damn

  25. SilkCityP Says:

    Wow… Chris Paul is demanding a trade to either the NY Knicks, Orlando, or the Lakers… I’m hoping the Knicks, especially after his drunk toast at Melo’s wedding

  26. SeniorCivilian Says:

    Kanye’s recent productions don’t seem like they’d fit Nas very well. Then again, other than Illmatic, and perhaps IWW, when has Nas’ production fit him? Dude is easily the most enigmatic MC ever (even moreso than ya boy Jay E). There’s a really good section in that Born to Use Mics book about how Nas’ career has straddled (none) the line between underground and mainstream, and I think that may be part of the reason that he hasn’t had the type of production he should (That and the fact he sucks at picking beats).

  27. Ghost Writer Says:

    It would be interesting to hear what Nas and Ye come up with

  28. Smooth Says:

    So currency sold 10k first week..

    which means Dame Dash made..uh…like $49

    I’m completely agree… I haven’t been feeling Ye’s production since he did Brand New for Rhymefest, that’s 4 years ago… I want to see Nas do an album with 5 producers… Premier, Pete Rock, Buckwild, RZA, and No I.D. , and just those 5… I’m afraid if Kanye does it, he’ll go wayyy too left with the sound

  38. mie Says:

    If Nas stopped fuckin with Salaam Remi on every album, he could make a straight up classic joint. No shot at Salaam, he’s very talented, but for some reason his production is very generic and really has no feeling. Nas really needs to step out of his box and bring in better producers who’ll bring more out of him.

  44. Troubleshooter1900 Says:

    Ye produced “Poppa Was A Playa”?

    “what’s that white shit on the plate and on your face, why you butt ass from the waist, and whose this lady I’m faced?” shits some dramedy.

    Lil B is winning and it’s sickening… If your a fan u either thought about or actually sucked a cock before… Every record he’s ever made was garbage including tshirts and buddens… What the fuck does that even suggest… ” you prolly selling ex pills, u prolly eatin asshole”… Blank fuckin stare… He has a freestyle called “ima faggot”… If ur a Stan your a faggot too… And I don’t wanna hear shit about his honesty… Can we have a hip hop caucus and rid this guy already? He told Nicki Minaj he was finer than her… I quit rap

  57. Guccistan Says:

    This interview >>>>>>>>>>> rest of hip hop

  58. chris mellows Says:

    most of kanye most recent prod hasnt been as good, i think the reason for this is because 1-he is coming from 808 back to hiphop and im sure he has been using some leftover beats 2-kanye maybe saving all his best work for his new album…

    when kanye and nas work on songs together on previous albums there the hottest record on the album… still dreaming classic – let there be light classic – poppa was a player classic…

    look at commons two album that were mostly produced by ye GO and FINDING FOREVER which i think both where commons best albums, this to me proves that when YE do a whole album we get a classic album.. and nas know this and he said he has heard YE new album..

    i dont think ye will produce the whole album for nas but i bet he will have at least 3 or 4 tracks on it

  59. Awaiting Moderation Says:

    pete rock and/or premo beats w/ nas >>> kanye beats w/ nas

    anyday.
