Have you been wondering where Nas has been? I haven’t but apperently he thought you might be so he’s dropping a Greatest Hits album in November on Columbia Records. There will be a whopping 2 NEW SONGS on the project. I know you’re very excited. If you don’t own the catalog at this point then you’re not excited enough to buy a greatest hits album. Greatest Hits albums are like putting your tombstone on the shelf at Tower Records.Â

A greatest hits album? Isn’t that what record labels do when they try to squeeze the final dollars out of your name? Hopefully this isn’t the end of NAS.
This is just Columbia putting back out Nas’s masters that they still own. Nas used to be on Columbia Records. The 2 new songs are probably some of the last cuts he did when he was still on columbia.
Greatest hits albums are usually put out by an artist to fufill an contractual obligation to a record company. he probably still owed one album to columbia
The new songs are off the Rush Hour Soundtrack…that’s beat.
Yea, the Greatest Hits joints was a part of the joint deal Nasty did with Columbia/ Def Jam. With HHID, I believe Def Jam only put up the marketing dollars, and Columbia put up the recording budget and retained the right to do a ‘Greatest Hits’ album as well.
After this one drops, Nas doesn’t owe Columbia anything.
‘Nasdaq Dow Jones’ should be on the way shortly after that…but this may push it back (or up) a little.
