“Nas Album Done” serves as a preview of sorts for Nas' own upcoming album (i.e. the title of this song).
Nas touches on issues facing minorities in America throughout the song, including Donald Trump’s bid for President and institutionalized inequalities.
Khaled wrote a letter thanking the Fugees...
[Intro: DJ Khaled]
Classic shit, timeless, forever, iconic
DJ Khaled!
[Verse 1: Nas]
A divine leader, shine brighter, bonita mami meeter
Line sniffer, never, poetic rhyme writer, chiefer
Ebony empress getter
Celebrity Apprentice a devil show, big up to Africa, Mexico
Hennessy, margarita, venison eater
So dear, spread 'em here, don't be actin' innocent either
Dome me, relax me, it's only to the nasty
I'm just a phony assassin, a lot of niggas owe me, I'ma tax 'em
A lot of sisters hold me to somethin' holy and Catholic
‘Cause the rosary and gold flashy
Just an attachment and accessory to my dress code
Now everywhere all I see is Pablo, Esco
Last time I checked I was still breathin', my neck was still freezin'
Now everybody got an Escobar Season
To every baby on the album cover existin'
This trend I was settin', it came to fruition
I'm assistin' to push the culture forward
To all my ghost supporters, go support us
Like a local Black-owned grocery store
‘Cause in the hood shit ain't passed down through blood
It's a dub on that, we get government aid
Spend it at they stores, puttin' they kids through college
We need balance so we can lease and own deeds in our projects
So I'm askin' Gs to go in their pockets
The racial economic inequality, let's try to solve it
[Chorus: Nas]
My signature fade with the Bevel blade, that's a major key
I told her she smart and loyal, I like that, that's a major key
Start a label, run it, sign yourself, that's a major key
What Tony had on the table, it's like us, we a major key
[Verse 2: Nas]
Still underestimated, every mistake a lesson
Mercury retrograde, so if that planet spin backwards
Up in the heavens maybe
It's effectin' back on niggas who don't be reppin' lately
I'm playin' chess with babies, niggas is nursery
Niggas impersonatin', rehearsin' me
Nothin' like me, I'm the first of me and that's quite certainly
So official, come get this issue, some women crazy
I like a woman to show me wisdom
These hoes easily convinced to pop their pussy
With a loaded pistol; y'all ain't meant to be played
Says the brother with the signature fade
Still paid, stackin', new stash
Went from hangin' with shooters and clappers
To computer hackers, check the fashion in Monaco
Gettin' ocean mist on my HSTRY hats
Khaled called me when I was in album mode
So I put it on hold for the Major Key
My album done, niggas, wait and see
[Interlude: DJ Khaled]
Classic shit, timeless, forever, iconic
[Chorus: Nas]
My signature fade with the Bevel blade, that's a major key
I told her she smart and loyal, I like that, that's a major key
Start a label, run it, sign yourself, that's a major key
What Tony had on the table, it's like us, we a major key
Nas Album Done was produced by DJ Khaled & Cool N Dre & 808-Ray.
DJ Khaled released Nas Album Done on Fri Jul 29 2016.
Khaled hit me up and said that he wanted to do this and we had planned some studio days to sit down and we cleared some studio days just to go over records. He knew exactly what he wanted. He had a couple of ideas, but the one we put out, that was the one he really wanted.
That was all Khaled’s [id...
I don’t like racists.
Whilst solving racial economic inequality outright is a daunting task, Nas actually offers his own solution.
At the end of the first verse, Nas suggests that supporting local businesses over global corporations is one way to overcome this inequality. Doing this puts the money in the hands of small...
DJ Khaled and Nas collaborated previously on three occasions – 2012’s “Hip Hop,” 2011’s “I’m On,” and 2010’s “Victory.”
I was nervous [about the title]. That’s like saying “Khaled’s Album Done” and not telling me. But when he sent me the verses… You know, I remember playing him the beat, and with the “Ooh La La” sample, I’m like “Man, the only people that can rap on this is the biggest.” It gotta be like the top 5 em...
Though the song was released at the end of July, Complex reported that Nas' album was not complete as late as October. A source revealed to them that the record was “only 75 – 85 percent finished.”
The album was previously slated for a 2016 release. This looks increasingly unlikely, further raising...
