Nas mentions Prince There's a song on the new Nas album "Hip Hop Is Dead", called "Blunt Ashes". It includes the following lyrics:
"Prince wanted Alexander O Neal to be Morris Day or Jerome/But Alex was putting coke in his nose, while it could be a myth but I swear that the source was close". Just giving you guys a heads up, it's a tight track. He mentions David Ruffin hitting Tammi Terrell, he says something about Rick James, he talks about how Larry Troutman shot Roger and that was the end of Zapp, it's like a homage to soul stars in a way. Download "Blunt Ashes" by Nas here. |

NAS is one of the few young rappers that I like. His lyrics can be very thought provoking. I would've never guessed that he would be familiar the old school MPLS sound. | |

sorry, don't mean to post-jack, but Nas is not a "young rapper". He's been in the game a LONG time and is (or should be) an icon to all of the new/young rappers out there. His classic "Illmatic" came out in '94... | |
