So, Nas’ Untitled Was Supposed To Be a Joint Album w/ Jay Electronica…

While across seas, Nas sits down with BBC Radio 1′s Benji B to talk about Life Is Good, his relationship with Amy Winehouse, the lost record with Frank Ocean (which we now can blame Hit-Boy for losing) and more. The most important thing comes in at the 23:00 mark though as Nas reveals that he originally wanted to have Jay Electronica produce the entirety of Untitled.

Ah man, imagine a whole project sounding like Queens Get the Money. Damn…

  1. Queens Get the Money was ghost written by Jay Elect, would you want a whole album ghost written by Jay?

  6. jay elec def ghost wrote queens get the money, if you’ve ever listened to one of his songs u can just tell, even the cadence in nas’s voice is reminiscent of jay. that project wouldve been a lot better had this happened tho

  7. Nas went to get a bottled water and when he came back he couldn’t find Jay Electronica.

  15. The N album wasnt even that dope, let alone classic. The lyrics and subject matter was the dope part but the beats were simply horrible. Not on all the songs but on most of them lets be real, that album was far away from being classic. Even Nastradomus was better then Untitled.
