Surviving The Times New Nas song
- Thread starter prasad
- Start date
I think this is one of the tracks that's going to be on his greatest hits that Columbia is releasing. This and Less Than An Hour with Cee-Lo is what I've read but I thought that was a track for Rush Hour 3 soundtrack so I'm not too sure anymore, just have to wait and see I guess. In the Scratch with Will.I.Am on the cover he said him and Nas have maybe 7 tracks left over to use on his next album so I might expect him to be the main producer for his real new album. Then again Nas probably changes his mind with every step.
"Can you picture Russell needin a check man"
"Can you picture Russell needin a check man"
Ok, so after remembering that Scratch, Nas and The Game are both on the cover with Will by the way, I went back and read it. Imma type up a paragrpah or two, it's pretty good.

"For will, the sudden re-use of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by the same artist only enhances the overall point. "The fact Nas recycled his own joint is metaphorically what 'Hip-Hop is Dead' means. Nobody is reinventing things," he bemoans. "Whenever somebody tries to push the boundary on what hip-hop can mean to the whole world, you got somebody like, 'That ain't hip-hop, nigga. Where the nigga's gold fronts?"
While working with Nas, will kept the studio set-up simple. "Pro Tools, that's it," he says. "Pro Tools and a piano and Moog and a real drum kit." While Nas wrote and laid vocals in one room, will would be making the beat and hook for a different song in another. The chemistry resulted in two other tracks for the album: "Who Killed it?" and the second single, "Can't Forget About you." "I always wanted to work with Nas, you know," says will. "That's one that I'm holding real dear to me." In all, he and Mr. Jones made 11 songs together, five of which Nas is saving for the follow-up to Hip Hop Is Dead. In fact, Nas says he's seriously considering tapping will to produce the entire album, which could be released this year.
"The other day, I was listening to the songs that didn't make the record," Will reveals. "I was like, 'Nas, these five songs that didn't make the record, after you listen to them, they're squashing the ones you put out. He says, 'I know, my nigga, I did that on purpose because I want to put out another album right away. I want to already have joints that are hot.' There's one we have called 'The Whole World is Ghetto.' I sampled real fire engines, police cars [and] made the beat out it. The horns ain't real horns-I used two different fire engines."
