DJ Premier speaks on his album with Nas that’s still in the works, working with Slick Rick for the first time ever for the song “Need Some Bad”, & reflects on his Gangstarr partner Guru’s life & legacy.

Maybe he was wondering about DJ Premier’s absence from Rakim’s Seventh Seal album…

Nas Rocks New York City Show & Brings Out AZ, Common, & Mos Def (Video)
October 21, 2011
Saw alot of people I follow on twitter who happen to be in NYC talk about this show when it was going down last night. It was only a matter of time before video surfaced of Nas ripping a show at NYC’s Webster Hall. I think this may have been a surprise performance because it’s not like Nas to rock over his own vocals at shows. Maybe the DJ just pulled up some quick Nas joints out of his serato. Nas also brought out a few special guests to the stage with him in Common, AZ, Mos Def, Maino. More video under the hood….

CyHi The Prynce Speaks on Nas’s influence, Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music camp, & his upcoming album ‘The Hard Way Musical’ (Video)
September 20, 2011
CyHi The Prynce is one of my favorite new young artists in the game. There is no reason in hell this guy should not be a household name in a few years in my opinion. His mixtapes are better than 90% of rap artists albums & if he continues with that level of quality I’m positive his upcoming full length album “The Hard Way Musical” on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam label will be a critical & commercial success. Check out the video where he talks about losing a battle which indirectly made him become a fan of Nas & solidified his belief in the importance of lyricism in his music.
