Nas talks about his love for cassettes, his tape collection and recording off the radio to TDK Life:

In this short film produced for TDK Life on Record’s Chronicles series, Nas discusses his passion for cassettes. The rapper reminisces about his long-gone tape collection, explains the importance of cassettes in early hip-hop culture and recalls the art of recording songs off the radio. His deep love of the medium and the music comes through in every moment, most especially when he talks about the ’80s rap legends who inspired him to become one of the most acclaimed emcees of the ’90s.

Millz talks about a near-fatal seizure and his ’10 XXL Freshmen comments.

“When I made the statement, I was just thinking out loud… maybe I shouldn’t have said it… I just didn’t like the cover, nothing personal.. If I was on the cover and somebody would’ve said that about me, I would’ve felt real salty too, so I let that go… I just felt there were other people that could’ve been on that cover. Aside from Vado, I think Gudda Gudda could’ve been on that cover. Waka Flacka could’ve been on that cover.“

“Niggas said I was hot, now I’m watching them burn”
