ça c vrai suis black mais c ridicule de tout ramener aux blancs;faut évoluer :no:

Salut cé pour informer que l'album sort le 22 avril 2008, cé Nas lui meme qui l'a di dans une interview

PK ta un pb ac le public blanc

Nas et Ice cube?ca peut le faire,il faut voir.Et DJ Premier dans tous ca?ca fait longtemps qu'il n'a plus porduit pour Nas...

difference de level ? oui on voit ca la preuve tu ne repond rien bref


sur l'album de nas, moi je voudrai ice cube, az, cormega ,jay z, common, talib kweli, mos def, et un busta rhymes. des mec qui pour la plupart ne font pas de music pour plaire au public "blanc" comme le ferai p diddy ou 50 cent par exemple. a par ca y aura the game sur l'album c une obligation maintenant (comme jay z) vue que les comperes sont potes.

jespere de bon prod mais surtout un retour au bon sample de soul etc... et je voi bien un petit refrain de antony amilthon sur une musique. pui pourquoi pas un nouvea feat avec alicia keys histoire de represente les femmes noir aussi

je commençais à me demander si ils se connaissaient ces 2 là....

snoop dogg on peut s'en passer

Ouais mais attention au pétard mouillé qd même. Par rapport à ce qu'on attendait de HHID, logiquement Snoop non plus avait rien à foutre dessus, mais bon finalement l'album se rapprochait trop peu du thème évoqué au nom de l'album, donc finalement le son est passé. A voir donc.

"Mais il sera là bientôt. Ca ne sera pas du style pour faire-patienter-pendant-longtemps." = DETOX

Le son Play On Playa étais bon sûrement mais là sur un album autant engagé et avoir Ice Cube & Nas sur la même track si Snoop pose, il va se faire complétement humilié :)

Oui ce serait une bonne chose mais bon je vois que tt le monde s'enflamme alors que y a juste eu une suggestion d'Ice Cube, après si ça se fait ce serait une bête de combine mais faut pas se mettre trop ça en tête, sinon on serait bien déçu si ça se fait pas.
Sinon moi ce qui m'a surtout marqué (même si encore une fois y a rien de concret), c'est la possibilité d'une tournée en commun, si ça se faisait et qu'y avait une date en France, mais par n'importe quel moyen je m'y rends.
Pr le son avec Snoop crachez-pas dessus non plus, "Play On Playa" était pas mal dans son genre.

Nan mais toi c'est décidé t'es vraiment le Roi des Boulets, trop différence de level avec les autres ...

Un petit feat. de Ice Cube avec Nas sur un album autant engagé, sa serait vraiment une trés bonne chose au vue de l'engagement des deux Mcs par contre pour Snoop, il voudrait mieux pas qu'il tente surtout si sa serait pour se ridiculiser face à Nas et Cube ...

c'est sur, Snoop va moins avec Nas que Ice Cube.
Et puis c'est bien cette année les grands Rappeurs de la West Coast reviennent.

les petit cons pour info on a le dro idecouter de la music sans chercer a comprendre 100% des parole parce que dan ce cas la le mec qu iecoute soul ja boy desole mais c le roi des bouffon vue les parole ! ensuite ou vou avez vue quon pouvai pa aprecier un flow un beat etc.. sans comprendre les parole ? la voi peu etre percu comme un instru les puceau !
si si ! regardai les gens qui ecoute e la musique classic nont pa de parole ou sinon ceu qui ecoute de la salsa vou pensez que tous parle portugais (oui car au bresil on parle portugais je precise vue le niveau des gens) ensuite tout les petit pd qui parle en "c wak comme ca" ,ou "wait and see" ou encore "it's my ..blablablabla" pour faire le mc kainry ! vouv ouv habilez tous en habirt large aussi ? mdr jespere pa vou croisez dans la rue ca serai bete que vou perdiez vos portable les bourgeois !

ak snoop sa feat pas mais par contre Ice Cube :good:

Cube avec Nas, ça peut le faire :rolleyes: Je suis heureux de voir que Nas semble épanoui en sortant ce nouvel album.

Manque plus que les productions suivent ainsi que les lyrics et tour sera joué

avec snoop, je c pa il fodrait plus kelkin ki a un flow tranchan kin flow longoureux Nas et cube ouéé prkoii pa ils sont den le mm esprit enplus

Co-sign, mais c'est vrai que comprendre les lyrics c'est quand même toujours un plus non négligeable... surtout si tu projètte d'écouter Nigger ;)

pas forcément mec, le rap et autres style musical, raconte sont toujours la meme chose, Rap: la rue, les guns, les biatch, politique, le bling bling, et parfois parle pour rien dire R&B, love, la vie, les filles "ca cest bien :P ", et voila ca sert pas a grand chose de pigé les music étrangére, perso je préfere pas conprendre, moi un bon flow, bon son bien street, enchainement des mots, voila je suis heureux

Il y'a au moins une tracklist? Parce que les news à compte goutte stressent les fans. Ca ressemble à quelque chose qui va être encore repoussé.

COOL

Tu crois ?

Ce qu'il espère, c'est intéresser les gens qui aiment NAS.

:P

il espère que t'apprenne l'anglais rapidement au lieu de faire le beau car écouter du son US sans y comprendre quedalle sa c'est "chelou"

:bravo:

ya un mec chelou qui attend qu'on lui ouvre son dictionnaire d'anglais-français et qu'on lui fasse la lecture :lol:

il espère que t'apprenne l'anglais rapidement au lieu de faire le beau car écouter du son US sans y comprendre quedalle sa c'est "chelou"

y a un mec chelou il a poster une intervioew sans rien traduire et e plus elle est super longue ! il espere quoi en faisan ca ?

nan en fait le feat de reve pour nas ce serait un morceau avec rihanna, mims et soulja boy.

ouai j avou ice cube feat nas c peu etre sympa je pense kil y aura un feat ac diddy ki peu etre sympa aussi comme hate me now

comme, ça serai tro bon un feat avec cube

Pourquoi pas, pour l'instant c'est juste des appréciations entre MCs comme on en a déjà vu, reste à voir si il y aura de nouveaux projets dans la tête de Nas, c'est pas de refus pour les auditeurs :)

nas + cube ça peut etre du bon...
ça serait cool.
par contre snoop on pourra s'en passer :rolleyes:

interview de Nas dans le dernier Source de janvier 2008



DEAD RECKONING




Nas' decade and a half in the game has taught him a lot about not just Hip-Hop but the world around him. With a greatest hits album and another controversial release on the horizon, Nas takes time to analyze the past year in an effort to chart where he's headed.


Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones cracks a smile. His eyes aren't sleepy, his words don't trail off and his voice is sharp, cutting the room with tales from his past. "Man, I remember when you could get you a nutcracker and be good for the night," he says to one childhood friend and business associate. The two laugh at the memory. "You take one of those to the head and you're done. I got caught out there a couple times myself."

Apparently, back in the troublesome '90s, you could cop a homemade cocktail -- some modern day moonshine -- from someone's project apartment. Surrounded by a few friends at a photo shoot for this magazine, the thought of those "nutcracker" bottles sets Nas at ease and offers a glimpse at a side of Nas unfamiliar to those outside his inner circle: the man behind the Illmatic mask is a wisecracking father and friend who happens to be the preeminent poet of our generation.

With his interviews --TV, magazine and radio -- Nas has become known for his lazy speech, his monotone voice and his unexcitable demeanor. He builds walls around himself to keep you out and to keep in certain aspects of his life and his personality. It's worked in his favor up to this point. As a result, the media frenzy of celebrity internet sites, reality TV and near twenty-four hour access has yet to rob Nas of the mystique he's built since dropping Illmatic in 1994. However, with a new greatest hits album on shelves, there is a world of difference from that kid Nasty Nas, and the thiry-four year old man we see today.

"Nas then just wanted to get some money," Nas says, explaining how he's grown over the years. "I just wanted to buy this cat's aqua green Benz, with gold knobs on the lock. I wanted that and I wanted something for the crew to get their grind on in the P's. But you know how the world changes. So in between those times I had to roll with it. Looking back, time flies."

After dropping the headline-grabbing title Hip-Hop Is Dead in December 2006, he sparked a wildfire of controversy. New rappers and some "Down Bottom" artists felt targeted by his rap obituary as they were just beginning to get a full taste of the rap high life. Nas, on the other hand, maintains he was only announcing the decaying elephant carcass in the room.

"When I said Hip-Hop is dead I was trying to grab their attention to this special art form that's so important to us in the future," Nas explains. "It had nothing to do with what a guy's doing in the South or in the West. There is a place for all that. When you play Soulja Boy in the club, that's 'my shit'. But because I'm a New Yorker, I'm affected with what is happening in New York. That's just me as a fan. it makes you wake up and say, 'Where is the love for this shit?' "

Even those who believe rap is alive and kicking would admit this year has been a trying one for Hip-Hop. Don imus muttered the three infamous words that sent rap to Captiol hill to defend itself in a congressional hearing and rap executives to Oprah to help America's soccer moms understand free speech and ghetto living.

Meanwhile, Nas crafts his ninth studio album, which agains carries a controversial moniker. This is where we find Nas today: kicking back on a sofa at a photography studio, imagining what it'd be like to taste a nutcracker again and trying to make sense of it all.

You claim your next album, after the greatest hits, will be titled Nigger. Why open that bag of worms after Hip-Hop Is Dead?

That was the original name of the Hip-Hop Is Dead album. But when I put that name out there, Def Jam called and said to chill on the title. It was too soon. It was ahead of it's time. So Hip-Hop is Dead was appropriate as a replacement because that's also what I was feeling. The word, we took it and took the power out of it and made the power of the word benefit us. So now non-blacks that use the word don't where the fuck they fit in with the word. They don't know if it holds any weight or if it doesn't. They are confused about it. Either way it made him money, and it makes us money. "Nigger" has been both great and bad to America.

But why do we have to use it to describe ourselves?

That's an argument that didn't start this year. That's an argument that goes back before Richard Pryor. The more they come down on rap, the stronger rap becomes. Everybody forgot about us. The school system is the killing field, TV id the demon. I don't want to sound like Mr. Preacher Man but real talk, all these things we had to grow up with, the whole establishment, has been holding us back. How did we come up with rap? They took everything away from us. And the artist who invented it was destroyed.

Think there will ever be a time when you might feel differently and not use the word, like Richard Pryor famously did?

Yeah, I can see a time when it's very possible. You mature. At some point you don't want to eat certain foods or watch certain TV shows. Shit gets played out. At some point, yeah, nigga can get played out to me. But as of right now, I'm a nigga for life.

So why did folks get so bent out of shape when Imus made the "Nappy Headed Ho" remark? If you're calling your album Nigger, were you offended by Imus' remarks?

You know, first of all, "nappy-headed" is not disrespectful to me. If you call me nappy-headed, I'm thankful for that. I love my hair, I love the texture, I love Black women's hair -- curly, knotty, dreaded, whatever. If it's permed, I like it too. Black women can do so many different things with their hair. So nappy-head is not disrespect. But I'm not falling for Don Imus' scheme. I'm not falling for Bill O'Reilly's schemes. Those cats saw the guys come before them and become filthy rich. Like Howard Stern has been saying crazy shit to women, wild shit to Black people. It's his gimmick. Those guys are entertainers. That's marketing. He did what everyone expected him to do. And he won. Imus walked away with millions and signed a new contract.

It seems like everybody id piling on. Even Oprah Winfrey put rappers on notice with that Hip-Hop centered town hall meeting.

Whatever it takes to get them to pay attention to us. Oprah Winfrey doing a show about hip-Hop is a beautiful thing. Some people are mad at Oprah, some are mad at the speakers. I love the fact that we can have a conversation. You can't expect Oprah Winfrey to sit up here and quote lyrics from Ultramagnetic MCs and understand us. She's part of us, but she's of another generation. She has a right to like what she wants to like. So if my moms was here and she spoke her opinion, you have no right to talk down to an older Black woman, a brilliant woman who really just wants to know what the fuck is going on. If you want her to know and understand, someone should explain to her eloquently what this shit is about. There's a generation gap.

That was evedent this year when David Banner and Al Sharpton launched verbal missiles at each other.

Al Sharpton is our warrior, whether people like him or not. No one is perfect. Al Sharpton is going to go out there on the frontlines for us. Also, David Banner is a warrior for us. It's just two generations speaking the same thing but there is confusion along the way because somebody feel like the other is picking on the other ot that they're not understood. One thing I don't like is when our elders give up on us, turn all conservative 'cause they "made it" and start looking down on us as if their hands ain't dirty, like they weren't just like us at one time. I can't se myself shitting on the youth. Ever.

NAS
Bin Olu Dara Jones is eyeing a big-faced diamond ring, holding it up to the light for inspection. Other assorted jewelry -- necklaces, watches -- shines on the table before him, each more magnificent than the last. Nas places the ring down and scoops a classic necklace with a crucifix dangling on the end, a more subdued choice given the gaudy treasures on display.

"Yeah. i like this one," he says to the jewelry guy who begins to delicately place the other pieces back into his carrying case. This, the renting of bling for a photo shott, is one of those backstage moments that we know exists, but the average fan doesn't get to witness firsthand. "I left all my jewels at my crib in Atlanta," Nas says, taking care to explain away any possible contradictions. "I didn't want to travel with it."

It's not like Nas hasn't been plagued with inconsistencies throughout his career. From Nasty to Nas to Esco, he's revealed his own sort of holy trinity that represents the whole person. So when O'Reilly attacks Nas for his gun talk on "Shoot Em Up," as he did, he is only seeing on side of the pyramid.
O'Reilly cleverly raised questions about Nas performing a a remembrance for Virginia Tech's thrity-two students that were gunned down on campus. O'reilly's argument is that Nas, or as he pronounced it, Nez, shouldn't be performing for kids at a university that was devastated by gun violence if he make songs about gun violence. Naturally, the man who made "I Can," an ode to the limitless potential of ghetto youth, feels differently.

"He did the Nez thing on purpose," Nas says with a chuckle. "It's marketing for him. He has people looking at him with their jaws to the floor. He's like their Dave Chappelle. You can't get mad at him because he's an actor."

Because Nas has been able to let those attacks roll on by he seems larger than the words and those who stand against him. This judo technique has even kept him relevant even as his popularity fluctuates from disc to disc. So when noteworthy comparisons arise, like the MTV controversial "Hottest Rapper" list, where Jim Jones, who is somewhat of an antagonist toward Nas, edging him out for a top ten spot, Nas is still able to see himself beyond ranking. And instead of having a Kanye West meltdown, he invites the energy and deflects it into another direction.
"I love it," he says. "It keeps the rap spirit alive. You can say Vanilla Ice is hotter than me. I don't get caught up in that shit. I'm glad that there are rap conversations and debates. People are supposed to have different rankings because different fans like different shit. I said it in a song a while ago, 'There ain't no best.' We can sit around and debate all that stuff. I'm not in the top five anymore, or the top ten. I look at myself as one of America's rap icons. There is no number one, no number ten. Just icons."

You seem to be one the few relevant rappers who regularly pays tribute to the old shcool. Is that a conscious move?"

If we don't keep that alive, we aren't going nowhere. When the rockers record they listen to Muddy Waters, they listen to John Taylor. You gotta do your homework. The heavy metal guys, The Beatles, whatever was around before, they would listen to the shit that started it all. If you listen tothe shit Kanye's doing you can tell he studies. If you don't study you can hear it in the music, and you're not going to last long.

What about popular young artists like Soulja Boy and others, they seem to be doing okay for themselves.

If you become a boxer and you don't watch tapes of Joe Louis or Muhammad Ali, how far can you go? Not just inside the ring but outside the ring as well. So that's how important it is. I think Soulja Boy is the thing right now. If he wants to stay in it though, he don't need me to tell him, he;s going to figure out where he's going by studying what's going on. That's the beauty of this shit.

You said earlier that his his record is the shit. Can you crank dat?

[laughs] My Superman is wack, but I definitely can try when I throw a few drinks back. I got to have a good time man.

The biggest story this year was Kanye vs. 50 Cent. What was your take on this SoundScan Battle?

It was cool. That shit was kinda needed. It helped Hip-Hop. With the record industry being in such a crazy slump with the whole world changing and the technology forcing people to get music in different ways, they showed you that even though things change, shit remains the same. People still go out and buy records. And Hip-Hop is still the most exciting shit ever when the right people get together and put out some shit.

Did you have any predictions?

To be honest I thought 50 would sell more records. Kanye helped kill all that first week shit. 50 bases his career off first week but we all know first week sales ain't about shit. Kanye killed the First Week King and that is a great thing for Hip-Hop 'cause niggas are not supposed to be focusing on sales like that.

How does Nas fit into the first-week frenzy?

There was a part of my life when I was into that. I was a part of that era when it started becoming a big thing. With I Am I went gold in the first week so I was kinda feeling myself. I thought I would sell even more than that! The hype was crazy, anticipation was out of control. So around that time I was really into it because it was a business. It was a race, it was a challenge, it was a competitive thing. After you go past that you realize that's not your goal. And the next record should be something totally different. So the next record I didn't focus on that.

On the political front, does Nastradamus have any 2008 predictions?

Not at the moment. I'm still fucked up over the last election with Bush. If that could happen, I'm ready to see a new America. I think Obama would be a great face for America. The Black man's true nature is peace. All humans really want is peace. If he's the face of America, there will be peace.

You're on album number nine. What's left to do?

When I look at great music people I realize that I've just started . James Brown and all these cats were scientists. I got about ten more albums before I can consider myself in that iconic class.

Couv XXL 100è edition de mars 2008

c'est vrai que se serait kiffant le Cube & Nasty Nas réunit!

Ma collabo révé! Nas - Ice Cube... :buh:

Ice Cube ça serait énorme srx
par contre Snoop je m'en tape si il y est ou pas
jspr que l'album ne sera pas reporté de bcp de mois si il l'est

[QUOTE]J'avoue qu'une combinaison Nas/Ice Cube ça peut faire très très mal,j'ai tjrs kiffé la voix d'Ice Cube si en plus il fait une bonne prestation aux côtés de Nas ça pourrait être vraiment un moment fort de Nigger.
D'ailleurs je pense que ça devrait facilement le faire,Ice Cube qui dit que de toute façon il feront une tournée,ça veut dire que s'ils ont le temps de faire ça ils auront le temps de faire une track,enfin c'est c'que je pense.

Je surkifferais voir un feat avec AZ et Cormega aussi(vu qu'il se sont réconcilié).

Y a Rakim qu'attends un feat depuis pas mal de temps aussi,pourquoi pas pour Nigger?

Par contre je sais pas si je veux encore d'un feat avec Jay-Z,à moins qu'il nous sorte une "classic track" ça pourrait devenir lassant à force!!

Nas dit aussi qu'il a travaillé avec des gars de l'underground,est-ce qu'on peut espérer qu'il considère Primo comme qq'un de l'underground?lol,nan j'pense pas quand même.
Qui sait pour les surprises il parlait peut-être de Kno?De RZA?

Sinon encore pour les feat prestigieux,je surkifferais une combinaison...allez soyons fous... Nas - Immortal Technique - Dead Prez - GZA.

Si Nas nous sort une tracklist qui ressemble à moitié à ça,je serais presque tenté de crier au classic sans même avoir écouté l'album...j'ai bien dit presque!!



Nas en feat avec rakim sa existe dejas :D sinon s'qui serais kiffant sré un feat avec inspecta deck ne me dmander pas pourquoi jpense que sra donner trop bien :good:

Malheuresement, tu m'as l'air bien ambitieux.
Et pourquoi pas un beat de preemo avec rakim et g rap en feat, et un beat de rza avec des feats de ghost et raekwon, non faut pas viser l'impossible.
Mais c'est vrai que Cube en feat, c'est tres alléchant, sachant que c'est le genre de themes qu'affectionne ice cube. ça pourrait vraiment etre une bonne rencontre.
Attendons que ça sorte pour voire la tracklist finale et ce que celà donne, au lieu d'esperer et de juger trop hativement.

J'avoue qu'une combinaison Nas/Ice Cube ça peut faire très très mal,j'ai tjrs kiffé la voix d'Ice Cube si en plus il fait une bonne prestation aux côtés de Nas ça pourrait être vraiment un moment fort de Nigger.
D'ailleurs je pense que ça devrait facilement le faire,Ice Cube qui dit que de toute façon il feront une tournée,ça veut dire que s'ils ont le temps de faire ça ils auront le temps de faire une track,enfin c'est c'que je pense.

Si Nas nous sort une tracklist qui ressemble à moitié à ça,je serais presque tenté de crier au classic sans même avoir écouté l'album...j'ai bien dit presque!!

nas+ice cube=ça peut faire trés mal!!!! :good:

ca c du rap,ca na rien a voir avec sinoik et james b.

fais chier l'caniche....

OH NON!!!! pitié, NON!!! Ice cube, the game, mireille mathiew et chantal goya si tu veux, mais pas snoopy!!!! naaaaaaan..... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

> Le feat. de Game était excellent ...
> Snoop et Cube c'est le summum, vivement l'album :good:

Si cela se réalise ça serait vraiment bien, car c'est une collaboration presque logique vu que les deux rappeurs ont la même mentalité sur le hip-hop et la société américaine. C'est d'ailleurs pour cela que c'est une collaboration que j'attends depuis des années.

javou a l'ancienne 50 cent cetai un bon il a pu le niveau maintenant ! ecouter react le feat onyx ,50 cent. ou les musique de guess who's back (dont la plupart son sur l'album legendaire power of dollar) je dit legendaire car y a que sur les forum quon en entend parler sinon il est inexistant !
ou sinon ecouter rowdy rowdy !
ensuit un feat avec ice cube serai genial, avec snoop moin car o le dire snoop il est pu tro "gangsta" il sort de la soupe commercial qui peu plaire au mec qu iecoute rap ou rock donc bon, il c un peu perdu.
ensuite feat avec kurupt non plus, c un album eastcoast fo pa exagere les feat west deja que je sui sur a 90% que y aura the game ! (concert avec nas ,toujour a fair des morceau ensemble pa besoi nde reflechir longtemp) c comme si 50 cent faisai un album sans son petit ami yayo

a l'époque de guess who's back, 50 savait rapper.

c plutot 50 qui devrait se reconcilier avec lui-même :P

Il avait fait un song avec Snoop sur Hip Hop Is Dead mais Ice Cube ca serait trop cool :good:

cest bein mais il dvrai se reconcillier ak Curtis Jackson car sur guess who's back, leur tube son énorme :rolleyes: :good:

Ice Cube et Snoop, ca va ces feat!
Une petite track avec Cube, Snoop et Nas ca serait magique :rolleyes:
