Preemo may be my favorite producer of all time, for every reason why people want a Nas/Premier colab, however, much like The Rza who is also in the running for my favorite producer ever, his best days are behind him and but most people love to live in nostalgia. If Nas does another album I would love to see a mix of Alc, Hav, Preemo, hit boy, maybe even Large Pro for old times sake, but not a full Preme album.

[@martecedarring8596]

Why not a full preemo album?

YES we need the Nas and Premo album. We have two sides of the music coin with Nas and Hitboy and whenever that sound leans more to what Premo does? You go crazy so might as well get Premo. If you want some shiny music with polished production Nas just gave you 6 of those so you got em already. An album with Premo is gonna take Nas back to the essence. The street shit, the soul samples, the lyrical shit BOOM that's all we need. We watched Nas get his commercial rap on now for a bunch of albums but only Premo is the legit equivalent of what Nas represents as an MC but in sound.

NaS has nothing left to prove or add to the game at this point . He has surpassed beyond and above what no rapper has ever done. PERIOD.... If the primo album were to happen, whether it's good or not it can't take away nothing from NaS superb legacy. A primo album would strictly be for the boom bap era of hip hop... If you a primo fan then you should know what to expect. It's about full circle.
