Complex’s Jordan Rose sat down with the rap legend to talk about if he’d perform at the Super Bowl, his thoughts on Playboi Carti and NBA YoungBoy, and Mass Appeal’s latest collaboration with Marvel.
Nas also brought up Kendrick Lamar and a potential collaboration during a new interview, saying he’s ready whenever the vibe is right. He shared his admiration for Kendrick Lamar during a sit-down with Complex published Wednesday (October 15), opening the door to a collab. This isn’t the first time Nas has praised Kendrick.
In a recent interview, he called the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Hip-Hop’s “North Star,” calling him “one of the top-tier lyricists and creators in the game,” adding, “he’s the one.” Nas’ respect for Kendrick runs deep, and the feeling is mutual. Nas has been busy behind the scenes. He’s gearing up to release a new project with DJ Premier under the Mass Appeal Legend Has It series.
The upcoming album, entirely produced by Premier, is expected to drop in December and feature some of Hip-Hop’s most respected voices.
