Nas to Cameo on Dr. Dre’s ‘Detox’
Did he offend DJ Premier by calling Dre “the best producer of all time?”
Its been seven months since the release of his Grammy Award-nominated album, “Untitled” aka “Nigger” album and although Nas has been off the radar everyone knows he’s not sleeping (“cause sleep is the cousin of death.”)
The rapper recently told Billboard he’s put down a few ideas for new songs on his Blackberry and that he has “a couple of special things up my sleeve that should be unveiled in the next few weeks.” But he promises that one of the surprises “is history.”
But Nas is making the most noise these days with the news that he’s working with Dr. Dre on the Detox project. “I did a joint. I think it’s crazy,” Nas say. “He’s someone I’d love to do a whole album with one day. He’s incredible. I think he’s the best producer of all time.”
While DJ Premier recently publicly stated that Nas needs to come back to his roots and do an album with the original production team that brought us the critically acclaimed “Illmatic” 15 years ago, Nas’ proclamation that Dre is the G.O.A.T. clearly won’t sit well with Preem. I doubt it’ll cause much of a stir but as a huge Premo fan, Nas is speaking blasphemy even if Dre comes in a close second.
FILED IN Need to Know
Nas isn’t speaking blasphemy that his opinion he didn’t down Premo in any way You have to admire Dre’s track record his sound created the west coast think about all the biggest west coast Names had at least one killer track from him Dre was deathrow’s beat machine. Premo was right Nas should have stuck with the illmatic format it was around Iam that he changed not saying his albums since then were garbage they just were not like track to track good
Agreed. I was just hating cause I’m a Primo fanatic.
makes sense
