Nas's Not-Lost Tapes
Queensbridge king gears up for greatest hits album
Tupac, Biggie, even DMX have an ode to their own lyrical greatness with the inevitable greatest hits compilation, and now Nas is gearing up to drop his own.
Queensbridge's sometimes-lone lyrical star is set to release his as-yet-to-be-titled greatest hits album this November. The album will feature two newly recorded songs, including the single "Less Than Hour" featuring Cee-Lo. "Hour" is set to appear on the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack.
Nas popped up in the game in 1991, on Main Source's "Live at the Barbeque" with the now iconic line: "When I was twelve I went to hell for snuffin' Jesus."
He's since dropped the classic debut Illmatic and seven other studio albums - some commercial, some not. His latest, 2006's Hip Hop Is Dead, featured the hit title single produced by go-to beatmaker Will.I.Am, and "Black Republicans," featuring Nas' former nemesis Jay-Z.
