I have been finding myself gravitating to the new Nas album The Lost Tapes 2 since it’s release not too long ago, and considering that recent release it only made since when I saw that he stopped by The Drink Champs for a great conversation with N.O.R.E and DJ EFN. These hip-hop gurus spoke about tons of topics including the first time Nas & N.O.R.E met, when Illmatic dropped, putting Queens on the map, working with Kanye West, his vivid storytelling, their collab record “Body In The Trunk”, Wu-Tang Clan, phones calls & studio sessions he had with Biggie, his conversation with Prince, being a leader in the hip-hop community, touring with Mary J. Blige, back when he claimed “hip-hop is dead” & how he didn’t get the point off correctly, major record labels, giving people their roses while they can still smell them, building a hip-hop museum in the Bronx, being a fan of Lil Durk & Da Baby, being a huge fan of Rakim, Lupe Fiasco reminding him of himself and so much more. When it comes to masterminds in hip-hop but even more in business, they don’t come any better than Nas, press play below & pick up some of the gems he dropped!
