Nas talks to Tim Westwood on his next project: “Kanye called me and said he wants to do the album”
Posted by Mikey Fresh under quotes , videos[17] Comments
Mikey: While on tour with Damian Marley in the UK, Nas stopped through the Tim Westwood show to chop it up with his old friend on working with JR Gong, old times, andĀ his next solo project, “I’m definitely looking at my next solo project as one of the most important records of my life…”
“It’s going to be magic that’s all I feel. I keep calling it a magic moment, that’s what it’s going to be. I feel it, the stuff im writing down. It doesn’t even matter what producers… if its Swizz beats, Premier, Alchemist, Dr. Dre, Kanye West. All of these guys I loveĀ and been talking to about getting on the project. Kanye actually called me and said I want to do the album.” I heard Kanye’s album and its crazy… I been inspired by Drake’s shout out to me on his album. He says my whole name. Those guys inspire me. ”
after the jump, those UK paps caught Nasir outside of Damian’s bday celebration with… Amy Winehouse? …

Nas is hip hop and a true artist…no need for the ? Nas and Damian were celebrating Damian’s B-Day. DJ Green Lantern has the pics up on twitter of Amy at the concert the night before and at the restauarnt the day after where they celebrated Damian’s B-Day, Amy also song happy birthday to Damian as well! I find it really funny that any one would take something such as a pic with Nas and Amy and ? it when the other pics clearly reveal the guy that is with Amy and Nas in the last pic helping Amy into her car with Nas NO where in site! Amy has always been a huge fan of Nas and even referrenced the song Me & Mr. Jones after Nas. Amy is a true talent…I hope she gets better!

Jnr Gong ripped the stage, everybody was going crazy at the show on blackberry, twitter and in general convo. Damian Marley is always welcome to come back to the UK.
Nas is Nas we already know he’s great. I hope he can have a positive influence on Amy Winehouse that lad y needs the help of the best rehab clinic and nutritionist.

Truly the best news all year..
Even if Nas never drops another 16 bars he would still be the best rapper alive…
That Distant Relatives Album is a Masterpiece

“Blunt Ashes” wasn’t so bad after all IMO…
I swear when I saw Tim Westwood’s reaction to that “you can’t come to UK without seeing the prince” comment I had to double check if it wasn’t Affion Crockett spoof hahaha

Blunt Ashes is probably the best song on the album…”And I wouldn’t change a thing/mistakes of the great/this is what came from their pain/from their hurt we gain/An unfortunate exchange”

LOL…got to love Nas for his risks in music and that is what makes him such a true and great artist because he does not always go with the hottest or traditional producers.

Nas swears up and down that her “Me and Mr. Jones” song is about him.
