Nas

Queens rap icon Nas sat down with Harvard Poetry Professor Elisa to discuss the poetic aspects of his seminal single “It Ain’t Hard To Tell.” The segment is part of the Poetry In America series which aims to bring poetry “into living rooms and classrooms around the world.”

Nas has confirmed that he will be dropping a new album sometime this year.

BET has ordered a pilot for Street Dreams, a series based on the life story of rapper Nas.

Nas is using his HSTRY Clothing brand to create a new line that will benefit the National Black Child Development Institute.

Nas had a sitdown with music industry OG Andre Harrell where the duo talked race how not much has changed since the 1960s.

Nas is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his album Hip-Hop Is Dead, kind of. The Queensbridge rapper feels that he did more harm than good with the album and title.

2 Chainz made a killing with his ugly Christmas sweaters featuring a dabbing Santa last year, but he may now have some competition. Nas is throwing his hat into the Holiday attire ring with his own Black kneeling Santa Claus knitted sweaters.

We first got word that “Nas Album Done” back in July. It’s now November, where is it?

Nas covers this month’s EBONY Magazine featuring their “Power 100” list of the most influential African-Americans.

Some of the music industry’s biggest movers and shakers were in Miami this past weekend for the REVOLT Music Conference and were present at the annual gala dinner to see Nas become this year’s recipient of the Jimmy Iovine Icon Award.

Next to Eminem, Robin Thicke is the game’s coolest white dude (Editor’s Note: losing Paula Patton was an “L”) and today he keeps his Hip-Hop ties going strong with his latest Nas–assisted single, “Deep.”

As if you needed even more reason to fall in love with one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses, Lupita Nyong’o. The Oscar-winning actress posted a quick clip on IG which shows the Mexican born Kenyan (yes you read that right) kick a freestyle to Nas’ classic cut “New York State Of Mind.”
