“WE DOING IT REEL LEGENDREE!” *Tim Westwood voice*
Considering he was at this year’s Summer Jam and he’s had troubles with Hot 97 FM in the past, Tim Westwood properly asked Nas what he thought about Nicki Minaj cancelling her performance this year and if he was surprised at what took place out at Met Life Stadium. He tried to get him to talk about the beef with Hov way back when, but the little homie did a good job of dodging the question.
Besides that, they got into the album Life Is Good and spoke on a few songs from the project, most notably his collaboration with Amy Winehouse on “Cherry Wine” and then explained his “Daughters” single, much like he did on his CNN interview.
Produced by No I.D. Life Is Good is out July 17th.

Check out the second and final installment from our sit down with legendary rapper Nas on the roof top of his Manhattan hotel. In this clip Nas gives his thoughts on the more simplistic rap songs that dominate the radio today and names the few guys who are helping hip hop by having their own unique style. Nas also speaks on the presidency of Barack Obama saying he doesn’t see how anyone could take the job and not go crazy and admits that Lauryn Hill may be the most talented person that he’s worked with. Oh yeah, don’t expect a new Nas mixtape any time soon although he does love them.
