Nas ft. Swizz Beatz – Top Down (Unreleased)

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Swizz released a version of his song from One Man Band Man with Nas rapping on it for today’s installment of Monster Mondays. Swizz actually had this to say about the song to MTV back in 2007:

“The record was originally for Nas,” he explained. “I got Nas’ vocals already. But I can’t do Nas, and his energy is not right on there. It would be dead weight. No disrespect, but it can’t be dead weight if I can’t make it feel like reality. I need the sh– crazy. I need to shoot a video! It’s gotta be another ‘It’s Me B—hes,’ but bigger. I could easily pull a Nas card and have people be like, ‘Nas is spazzing on the verse.’ But it has to be a movie. I got it. It just gotta make sense. I can get Nas, [Jay-Z] and [Jadakiss] on that. I can do that. It’s light work, but it’s gotta make sense.”

This actually leaked on a mixtape back in 2009, and we posted it too, but it had went largely unnoticed. I’m posting it again now because Nas stans would get outraged if we were to ignore three whole verses from their savior.
