Nas is getting ready for the release of his next album and today Nas let’s go a new track from the project with Rick Ross. Life Is Good hits stores on July 17.

Without revealing too much information (or being obligated to write a full editorial), let’s just say that despite a not-quite-as-poignant Nas, this album is a continuation of just how much of a genius this man is. So you can enjoy the little clip above (thanks Soul Culture) which drops 7/17.
A few days ago Nas’s plans for his mock lynching of Jay-Z at Summer Jam in 2002 hit the net. During a interview with MTV, he expresses doesn’t want to acknowledge it.
I really don’t even want to acknowledge it. Everybody’s in a different place. I don’t even want to acknowledge it. I can’t acknowledge that. Jay’s my man, and that’s that, that’s all I’m gonna say.
Nas stopped by CNN to speaking on parenting and raising children in the entertainment industry in lieu of his recent hit ‘Daughters’.
Nas has a show in Tokyo recently, and 1500 Or Nothin (the band performing with him) was lucky enough to be there for the footage. That’s amazing.
Wow…..so I don’t know if you remember, in the thick of the Jay-Z/Nas beef, when Nas was going to hang Jay-Z at Summerjam back in 2002….well, he never did, which caused a lot of events following (especially this). Well, we get to see what would have happened, thanks to whoever released this video.
Nas stopped through Power 99 to speak with Mina SayWhat about the Life Is Good album cover, being a father, kissing Nicki Minaj and much more. More clips below.
I personally don’t see what the big fuss is at the end of the day (it’s the name of the damn song, for cryin’ out loud)….but i DO know that Nas’ response won’t be very well received. But then again, he created a classic project off of his opinions on the term…so I don’t think he should be too concerned.
Haha…from TMZ:
Nas should be happy his daughter has a good sense of humor — because we’re told she absolutely LOVED the music video for the song he made for her birthday … even though he got her birthdate wrong!
The “Daughters” video begins with Destiny Jones’ name and birthday — September 14 — but that’s actually Nas’ DOB. The video’s been fixed to reflect Destiny’s birthday — June 15 … and Nas tweeted it was just a mix-up by the editor.
Sources close to Destiny (who has a cameo at the end of the video) tell TMZ she and her pops had a laugh over the snafu and she is “head over heels in love with the video.”
For those who missed out on the show (and it’s absence of Nicki Minaj): Nas — was only supposed to only perform one song — ended up rocking the crowd with a full set, bringing out Lauryn Hill in the process. Good stuff at the end of the day, I guess.
