Kane Beatz Lists Nas, Lil Wayne, & Bei Maejor As His Favorite Artists To Work With
February 9, 2011
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH KANE BEATZ from DERICK G on Vimeo.
Well that’s a collaboration I didn’t see happening. The Lupe/Kane track made sense as the majority of Kane’s bigger placements have either been for Young Money or an artist on Atlantic Records. Considering Nas doesn’t have the best ear for beats and his style hasn’t really changed I’m curious to hear what this will sound like.
Mr. Porter Unreleased Nas Instrumentals [DOWNLOAD]
January 11, 2011
And here we thought Kwanzaa was over. For some unknown reason Mr. Porter dropped a homemade gift of instrumentals intended for Nas’ “N*gger” album.
According to YouHeardThatNew:
“Back when Nas was making his “Untitled” album and prior to its name change, Mr. Porter submitted a few tracks for consideration. According to his twitter when he submits music he submits an album’s worth of material of his vision of the project…”
All I have to say is “thank you.” And you should do the same.

There is nothing like a dope remix project and since Def Jam may never let the Lost Tapes 2 see the light of day we’ll take this dope 1.5 from Don Cannon and Cookin Soul.

Nas, “Foul Breeze” [DOWNLOAD]
November 24, 2010
Spotted this leftover from Street’s Disciple over at PotholesInMyBlog the other day but have been trying to figure out who did the beat. It samples the familiar “Faded Lady” loop that Diamond D and DJ Scratch used. I guess the only way we’ll get tracks like this from Nas is when he doesn’t know what else to do with them.

After sharing that brief story Large Pro goes on to talk about his first encounters with Nas, working with him on Illmatic, and them having recently recorded several joints together. He also speaks about the newer artists of today that he digs and wants to work with, Joell Ortiz is no surprise but Soulja Boy definitely is.
DJ Premier Talks Nas Album & Jay-Z Collaboration & Blueprint 3 Snub
November 12, 2010
I don’t know about you guys but I’m tired of hearing about Nas and Premier doing an album. Until something materializes with that and Detox I’d rather hear nothing. To be quite honest I don’t think I’d want to even hear a Nas/Premier project anyway, I’m not a traditionalist in that sense and I think it would prob sound quite dated. I’d rather hear Nas put out a project that actually had some good production. Oh well, guess we all have our dreams, right?
