Music-wise, people had started to give up on Nas. It was six years since Nas last dropped an album and he kept promising a new release that never came. Suddenly, Nas is back in the game, after joining forces with Kanye West, on the production.
Nas took the game back over, tonight, with his Nasir album release. He definitely went all out for the new album and he included a classic sample. The Queens rapper sampled Slick Rick’s “A Children’s Story” for his new album.
Making the song fit for 2018, Nas sampled “The cops shot the kid” line, which is fitting for this span of time. The fans on Twitter immediately made Slick Rick trend on Twitter. This is an interesting turn of events, with both Nas and Slick Rick trending on Twitter, right now.
