Nasty Gong

first cousins




Young Rakim n Young Bob have had this is the works for a minute now. They dropped a snippet of a bomb on us with As We Enter left us fiending for a while. Ofcourse Juniour Gong first teamed up with Nasty Nas on the eerie Road To Zion but now theyve had us hungry stans salivating over their Distant Relatives album. Should be out round the top of twenty-ten. The hype machine is in full grind. First up the Distant Relatives Forum

Watch live streaming video from distantrelatives at livestream.com

They brought out some stellar names for this one - Rakim, Big Youth, Kool Herc, and DJ Red Alert. Just to name a few. The Forum looks at the cultures of HipHop and Reggae, their similarities and influences on the world. They discuss Africa and the origins of music. The V-Tech sponsored event was pretty live and a lot of heads came thru for this one.

craaaaazy Nas verse. .

20,000 differentspecies of bees, some have poisonous stings, some just pollinate leaves. . like rap, some just buzz, some will attack. .

mY commercial head suggests chris must have an album on the way.

G.O.O.D Music Afterparty Cypha

kanye, mos, nas, consequence, de la soul, damon albarn & Will.I.Am share some stage time at the G.O.O.D music showcase in London the other night.

When Nas came in i'd have lost it. . but I still think that grime has the edge when it comes too pure energy at a live event. .despite it have fallen into a slumber of sorts. Should be some more G.O.O.D news/releases to come by the time the year is out. . Tony Williams. . Big Sean. And of course 808's. .

Sly Fox

Nas unleashes on Fox News.

How Many Levels?

Love the beat - real laid back . . but the imagery is the real treasure here.

MP3: Nas - Fried Chicken (Ft. Busta Rhymes) (Prod. Mark Ronson)
(Mirror)

Mmm, Fried chicken
Fly vixen
Give me
Heart Disease
But need
You in my kitchen
You a bird, but you ain't a ki
Got wings but you can't fly away from me
Driving in your bucket seats
All the way From Kentucky
To f**k with me
Look what you've done to me?
You Was number one to me!
After you shower
You and your gold medal flour
Then you rub on your hot oil for half an hour
You in your hot tub, I'm looking at you salivating
Dry you off, I got your paper towel waiting
Lay you down cause you're red hot
Louisiana style you make my head rot
Then I flock
To the bed then, "Plop"
When we done, I need rest
Don't know a part of you I love best
Your legs or your breast
Misses Fried Chicken, you gon be a nigga's death
Created by southern black women
To serve massa, guest
You gon be a nigga's death
Misses Fried Chicken
You was my addiction
Dripping wet hot, cholest
Like Greeks with their (filafo?)
Or Italians with their to-mato
Pasta
Or roach is to it's roaster
Trapping me
You and your friend mac and cheese
(Candians?) and collard greens
Cut you knocking me to my knees
Was killing me when I miss, ah
Nothing I need more than a fish fry

Be A Nig*er Too

here's that special video we all been promised

KING Mag: Nasir Jones

King Mag recently put up a pretty in depth interview with Nas. .

Today Nas will address the new album, but in the inaugural KING Legacy Q&A, he also tackles his entire 17-year career: the feuds with Biggie, 2Pac and Jay-Z; It Was Written; his overzealous fans; “Ether”; success; and “Success.” And the answer to the million-dollar question: Is he the greatest of all time?

War Is Necessary

If you asked me Nasir's sounding good but Dj Khalils is sounding better. Swiped from Nahright, but originally from the new GTA.

Be A Nigger Too

MP3: Nas - Be A Nigger Too (Mirror)

What You think?

What makes Jay so special?

...He went on to confirm that Jay Electronica will appear on Nigger, as producer and MC, after thoroughly...

URB

After reading the briefest of interviews, do you think Nas will vocalize his praise for Jay on Act II? a la Just and Erykah on Act I.

...I remain completely in love with the material i've heard from him. Apart from some thugstep with Lil Flip and Guilty. Eugh.

Dj Khalil Nas Preview..

At some kind of Reason (Propellorhead convention).. some serious production there, as well as some serious head nodding. Guarantee all young aspiring beatmakers will be hitting the torrents for some copies of that software tomorow.

Ghetto Rich

Still don't feel Rich Boy.
The other three be perfect.

MP3: Rich Boy - Ghetto Rich Remix (Ft. John Legend, Lil'Wayne & Nas)

Can't remember where I found this. . Or even if its new. Because I remember dismissing the original a long time ago.

Nas Ft. Game - Hustlers (Unreleased)

Damn, Ive missed Game.. When did he ever sport a beard? Like a young Freeway.

Nas' plans get Shut down

'How would that look at Wal-Mart?'
Background
SOHH Story

Lets see how they deal with this one..

Nigga, is to be the name of the next LP from Nas. . Due to come in December of this year. . We'l see what happens from here, although theres sure to be some form of debate raging somewhere as to the suitability of the name.

Greatest Hits, is slated for release on November 6th, with a video for new single 'surviving the times' hitting the internet soon - after its been filmed. Going to be a extremely busy fourth quarter for him if he is yet to have started recording as reports suggest.
