Nas: Next Mobb Deep?

nas came before the infamous mobb

no
no matter what he does in his career, he will always be above mobb deep

what do you even mean by this?

no, nas sold out way before mobb deep did.

Both pritty simular style personly. I like them both, but both simular but o so different

mobb owns nas

it's in the latest rolling stone.

"For his eighth studio album, Queensbridge MC Nas is taking it to he clubs. "I want it to be bangin'," he says. "And if you want it bangin' you call the dudes with the bangers." In this case, the dudes are Timbaland, Pharrell, Scott Storch, Dr. Dre and hip-hop's newest "it" prudcer, Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. "This one is gonna broaden my audience back up to where it needs to be," says Nas. It doesn't hurt that he's got rap's reigning kind, Jay-Z behind him; the former foes buried the hatchet, and Hova signed Nas to Def Jam in January. Hard drums and crowd chants rule the Will.i.am-produced titles track. On "War," a song about the politics of warfare, Nas trades verses with Damian Marley. "It has the head nod and that rocka bump," says Nas' co-manager Mark Pitts, who also confirms that Nas has been in touch with Michael Jackson in hopes of recording with him. "It's gonna show Nas' potential to cross over from hip-hop to pop," says Pitts."

i'm not saying that this CD is going to suck as much as Blood Money does (it's not produced by G-Unit), but i wasn't all that excited about it when i read this this week. it's going to be a good CD, but the words "taking it to the clubs", "Will.i.am" and "potential to cross over from hip-hop to pop" really didn't give the best impression. i was excited when i heard him and jay-z weren't going at it anymore, but i was hoping you'd get more nas-style jay-z tracks instead of even softer than jay-z nas tracks. it just doesn't seem like a pop-club album will work out that great for nas.

the CD's called "Hip-Hop is Dead".

i don't really care what nas does now, he made several amazing albums one of hte best ever in illmatic. It's his choice if he wants to make more money. he still has the ability to make conscience rap and still make money but im sure he'll have a combination as you said, of pop rap and stuff like the song with damian marley.

also, mobb deep's album wasn't produced by any of the g-unit members.

but, yes, that sucks, o well

i personally like both

I read that and was kind excited to hear some dope beats, but not from NaS...I don't know. He won't be Mobb. He's made sick shit and will always be respected, and plus he didnt sign to G-unit haha.

Plus I think that article off RS makes it sounds like some summer banger record. Which I highly doubt it will end up being.

i'm not saying this is going to take anything away from his career. nothing could do that. i was just likening it to what mobb deep did and how it could turn out to be not so great.

i was never a huge mobb deep fan, so it didn't hurt me that much

nas is an amazing lyricist but mobb deep still ownes him

how good was the segment to mobb niggaz in one love?

i would hardly say that both havoc and prodigy combined come anywhere close to owning nas.

That song is by Infamous Mobb, not Mobb Deep.

Hey Nas already accomplished so much, and imo is one of the best rappers ever. Let him try something new.
