Nas - What it is
Okay this vid is actually about DJ Khalil, but in it he plays a new track he’s working with Nas on for Nigger. This beat is kicking my ass right now. It sounds a lot like two of Khalil’s other recent beats Bishop Lamont’s On Top Now and 50’s I’ll Still Kill… I dunno how to describe the sound but its pretty distinct. The video is interesting also for Khalil’s thoughts on sampling and how he uses Reason in his beatmaking. Nas doesn’t come as hard on the track as I was hoping on the snippet, so I hope the final version’s iller. Check it out…
EDIT: Ok apparently it’s not gonna be on Nigger, probably because Nas is a dumb cunt and would rather have some Jermaine Dupri beats. Shot bro.

Wow that beat is serious. Shame he’s not gonna be on Nigger.
Nas really needs Ghostface to A&R his next record. Dude either has terrible taste in beats or every label he’s with chooses the worst tracks for the album.
“I used to circle around the block…” is a pretty dope line.

What happened to the Primo collab album, Salaam Remi, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Diddy and Stargate as your producer line up, maybe you should change your album title to Nigger Please!
