Why Nas Will Never Work With Kanye West Again

While Nas has been releasing a multitude of great albums this decade with the King's Disease and Magic series, do you know the shocking reason why he went on this run in the first place...

[@blackmcbain3145]

Wasn't Nas's fault, Kanye rushed that project. It's clear with the classics and quality Nas has produced with Hit-Boy that the failed NASIR album was Kanye's fault.

[@user-rj3us4wo3i]

Nas is the best that ever did it!

[@ApacheKaiju04]

Nasir had tracks like Adam and Eve, Everything and Simple Things. Lost Tapes 2 had Queensbridge Politics, Highly Favored, Shit Never Ends and Lost Freestyle. Both albums were fire to me. I still listen to them. I just think that since he's delivered some of the best albums in his career like Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic and, Life is Good and is regarded to be in the G.O.A.T. conversation he is held with high expectations. I'm just grateful for him giving us beautiful music and still teaching us lessons through his experiences. 💯

[@niiik5951]

Nasir is very underrated and has aged well, Adam and Eve is one of the sickest songs I’ve heard in a long time,white label bars, bonjour (play that song on a beach) The beats sound unique, not nas’s best rapping but I don’t understand the hate. Most of it comes from non nas fans or people who haven’t listened to it If you put it against artist his level like em, Wayne,50, wu, that album is better then artist his age recent ones. If rap was a sport nas is Jordan especially with the recent hit albums, only thing he lacks is proper radio records that someone like jay z has. It depends what type of listener you are, interesting watch though.

[@prestonperk30]

Like what songs are people not liking

[@Doms12021996]

I agree

[@PT4403]

I dont think its bad at all either but you gotta admit its probably Nas's worst album lyrically, with him just spouting a lot of nonsense on not for radio for example and also on everything and the mixing on the record sucks, I cant even hear Nas for most of white label, the album had potential to be fantasric but it was rushed and not as good as it coulda been even though I still enjoyed it and Adam and Eve is a top 10 Nas track ever.

[@tnb6359]

Alright man, I don't know what you're source of information is, but let me tell you that almost nobody was asking for Kanye and Nas album before they announced it. Everybody wanted (and still wants) to hear that Nas/Preemo collab. And even if that album with Kanye collab album failed, that's nothing to be mad at him for, they just linked at the wrong time, where there wasn't enough time to polish everything. So I definitely don't think they won't be working together ever again. Hell, he even used a Kanye produced song on The Lost Tapes 2 a year later. If anything, Hit-Boy is the one who will probably never work with Kanye again. He was dissing him at KD2 release party and talked about their fallout on Composure Part 2 (go listen to it, song is fire). You're just overdramatising the whole situation, it's not that deep. Better luck next time

[@fantastichiphop]

A Nas Premo album is still the dream for sure and always has been! But that doesn't mean people didn't want a Nas and Ye album as well which was clearly true because of the expectations for Nasir at the time

[@tnb6359]

​@@fantastichiphop Of course there were high expactions, considering it was Nas's first album in 6 years and popular critique at that time was that Nas picks bad beats. So linking up with someone like Kanye, who's one of the best producers ever, would bring more attention to it, not to mention the quality of Daytona and KSG. But that doesn't mean there was some massive 13 year hype and demand for their album ever since We Major, like you're describing it in the video. People wanted Nas back on that Illmatic, boom bap, Preemo sound, not Kanye. That's just spreading false information

[@seanjjpaul]

Don’t forget bro Kanye called Nas his favourite rapper for the longest time so let’s not act like there wasn’t hype behind this project.

[@instinktd]

the funny thing is that Kanye actually worked with Hit-Boy recently for his new album and also Game single Eazy was done with Hit-Boy

[@DJSkandalous]

It wasnt just the Nasir album, Life Is Good wasnt really well received amongst most fans when it came out. Even though now it seems to more favored as it aged. Its considered a grown man's album so this was a different lane for his music at the time. Also I dont consider Lost Tapes to be real albums since its merely a collection of unreleased and revised unreleased songs where he changed a few things. It shouldnt be ranked against his real studio albums. That was purely a move to give back to the fan base in which alot wanted classic Nas records from yesteryear. Calling it a dud based on streams or sales I feel is a stretch. Nas was the only rapper outside of the 2Pac estate putting such "Lost Tape" collections together. But yes I will agree, I expected more from the Nasir album. Had Nas worked with Ye in got 2006-2009, it would be a different story.

[@antoine1486]

I don’t remember hate towards Life Is Good. Maybe I was in a bubble. I bought the deluxe edition the day it came out, it got 4.5 mics in The Source, Hit #1 on the charts, seemed to get rotation for the videos on all the music stations. I thought it was well received unless me and my circle were just gassing it up. 😅

I liked Nasir better than all those 7 track albums they released. I feel like it was more like an EP that felt a little rushed. I think is just more Nas is put on a higher scale than the other artist. Still to me it was a pretty good project just not his best. I loved the Adam and Eve track the best. When I look at the Nas and Hit-Boy albums I feel they really made some of the best albums in the past 3 years. I loved the Magic 3 they just released.

Nas works better with Kanye for features. Kanye's personality doesn't match with Nas's in the fact that when Kanye has his mindset on something, he needs it by that time. Nas needs time to develop a product that is good for the listeners and that people can enjoy and talk about.

listen to illmatic then it was written first 100%. From there you can either go chronologically or look at his best works. Do understand his legacy, id listen to his recent kings disease and magic run to see how amazing his consistency is and how hes held up today. If you do that, kings disease 1, 2 and magic 1 are my favourite rn. Id also listen to stillmatic and gods son and maybe i am…, they are all the ones most worth listening to. Nastradamus is seen as his complete lowest, nasir is also very disappointing as this video covers, and the rest are all relatively decent at best. Oh yeah, lost tapes is really great too.

[@diazable]

@@jaycyclondo dope. I was thinking of illmatic to start but i might do what you say and go with the recent stuff first and than dice back into the older stuff. I love digging into music these days. Makes me feel so alive ☺️☺️☺️

[@crawlinginfaithbdalingo5515]

@@diazableAll his albums are different. Most rap artists follow the same formula of their success. Even his latest run of King’s Disease and Magic. Each album song’s different sonically and conceptually. I like or love all his albums. But my personality favorites are It Was Written(most creative album ever) Illmatic(Raps Bible) Lost Tapes(What IAm and Nastradomus was supposed to be) StillMatic(The rebirth) GodSon(reborn again) Life is Good(4.44 from Jay-Z is inspired by this album. Honorable mention is Nas (I am the autobiography) This was a great album. Just to commercial for Nas pure fans. Think of Kendrick Lamar’s Damn Album. I am has songs for everybody. Nas’ Untitled album. This is a touching album. A real deep album. You have to have an open mind for it. Hip Hop is dead by Nas. I like this album a lot. Not one of his best. But lyrically he is sharp. Street Discipline, disc 1, it’s a classic. This album aged well. I would say, listen to (Illmatic)first then (It was written). Then Kings Disease and Magic Series after. Then listen to the rest. He is a Story teller. And his concepts could go over your head. But each album is a different story.

Nasir is overhated because it’s actually a good album but it’s still so disappointing because Kanye just gave him no time to finish the project. The album just felt unfinished but the tracks aren’t horrible. Everything and Adam And Eve are pretty good tracks. Cop Shot The Kid is a good track too but I’m kinda growing to dislike it because not only Andre 3000 was supposed to be on it but the beat is so fucking lazy. I do wish they can make an album again together but given how much of mess Ye is right now, It might take some time but I do wish they make a album again. Nasir is one of Nas’ worst albums definitely but it’s still decent. The Hit-Boy collab really saved Nas’ legacy and I thank Hit-Boy for that. This run will go down in history. Nas is definitely on of the goats.

I actually think that Nasir was a very good project, my only real complain is that it was too short, and the production was Kanye at his very finest. However, due to the controversies Kanye is currently embroiled in and Nas being known as a conscious rapper, it contradicts his image entirely - its not a good look for most rappers to do a song with a well known republican as their main message is about social justice. At this point, the only people I see working with Ye are Tekashi69 and possibly florida rapper Forgiato Blow (who?). Though I do have to say Nas fans are like Star Wars fans, the most fickle ever. The tiniest little mistake he makes they switch on him instantly (he nearly ended his career in 2015 with a Justin Bieber collaboration. That was obviously an attempt to appeal to a different audience but it backfired, but everyone makes mistakes). And those fans who claim they're die-hards, ask them to name any album besides Illmatic that they actually like? I'll wait lol! Well, truth is, they were never his fans then.

His lyrical content has NEVER been questioned, however his ability to create cohesive music was! especially regarding his beat selection. THAT is what the appeal was in a Kanye produced record. That was the only reason there was an interest in the album…. Nas falls in a weird place in hiphop due to his core fanbase which is basically all New Yorkers… he is a internationally known artist but is still seen like a regional artist and I think this is cause early in his career he really made himself appealable to his core fanbase. This is something a lot of historic New York rappers have dealt with (Jada kiss, AZ, CNN, the entire boot camp clik, etc) even Jayz was in this boat early in his career and he learned a lot from BIG in that regard…. Hell even BIGs ready to die was not as universally relatable as life after death cause it was clear that he was making music for people outside of his core fanbase with life after death. People are missing what hitboy actually did for Nas and why they work… hitboy took him out of his core fanbase! It’s not so much that the beats are better cause the vibe of these albums is very similar to the vibe Nas started to move into with god son. But hit boy made his music appeal to people that either stop listening to Nas or that never considered listening to him. Thats evident by the Grammy win. The music he is making with hit boy is reaching people outside of his core fanbase of whom most of believe Nas has never “fell off”

Fantastic Hip Hop proving that you can make a whole video without doing zero research. Yes, Nasir was not received well but we also heard Nas Album Done around this time where Nas reinvigorated his image on that Khaled tape. Thing is, Nas's reputation was in decline for many years as his late catalog failed to measure up to his early classics. The actuality of the matter is the Nasir tape was rushed and mishandled by both Ye and Nas and created a messy tape with moments of greatness here and there. They had very little chemistry but I doubt Nas has closed the door on ever working with Kanye, someone who has openly cited Nas as one of his favorite MCs and was overjoyed to work with him on We Major let alone an entire tape. Dog, you are legit speedrunning becoming one of the worst and laziest rap music channels around and I hope you're happy with that fact.

just a lil thing, nas had made his own label right, and tl2 was def jam pushing out the last of him before he can go to mass appeal to make his own shit i think, i might be wrong do

The 'Nasir is a bad album' narrative is one of the laziest in HipHop. Nasir is not his best album, but, it's definitely a solid listen. Then, consider the fact that that album was done in a week, you can only imagine how much better it could have been with more time.

I also think its wild to say that NaS was ever light from a lyrical standpoint. This is fucking Nasty NaS we are talking about. 100% agree bro

[@TheWutangclan1995]

I disagree and if anything Nas should thank Ye despite the reception of the album. If the collab never happen I don't think it would push Nas to be where he is now.

Why they got all these theories about Nas career lol

[@backseatbully]

Nas may have made bad joint but was never cut from the top 5. This guy is bugging
