Nas | Broken Record (Hosted by Rick Rubin)

  • Nas dropped one of the most universally loved rap albums in 1994 with Illmatic.
    Since releasing that homage to the gritty streets of his childhood home, Queensbridge, Nas has remained one of the greatest emcees of all time.
    Few legends in hip-hop have been able to maintain their relevance over several decades based on their skill alone. Nas has never chased headlines or crossover success. He’s always seemed focused on elevating his craft and the culture. And that dedication has paid off.
    King’s Disease is Nas’ 12th album, and earned him his 14th Grammy nomination. It’s up for Best Rap album at this year’s awards.
    Rick Rubin connected with Nas recently to talk about his earliest experiences with rap in Queens, how recording his last album with Kanye West in Wyoming almost took him out of his zone, and how early beef with Jay-Z made them both stronger rappers.

    ABOUT RICK RUBIN
    Frederick Jay “Rick” Rubin is an American record producer and former co-president of Columbia Records. Along with Russell Simmons, he is the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings and also established American Recordings. With the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Geto Boys, and Run-DMC, Rick helped popularize hip-hop music.
    In 2007, MTV called him “the most important producer of the last 20 years,” and the same year he was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World.
