Nas told this story on the "Drink Champs" podcast with N.O.R.E. while promoting "The Lost Tapes 2" in 2019‼️.

Prince showed up at the release party for Nas’s 1999 album "I Am…"‼️. Nas approached him directly (“I pulled a N.O.R.E. move”) and said something like: “Yo, look man, let’s do this. Let’s do this song.”‼️

Prince’s reply: “Do you own your masters⁉️”

Nas answered honestly that he didn’t‼️and that he was far from it, still owing the label (Columbia/Sony) about four or five more albums under his contract‼️. He recalled being blown away / “Damn.”‼️

Prince then said: “When you own your masters, give me a ring.”‼️

Nas has described it as Prince dropping a jewel that helped him “see the future.”‼️ They stayed cool afterward, kicked it a few times, and Prince even invited him onstage at one point‼️ (Nas said he was too nervous to go up)‼️. Nas also noted the pressure Prince was under from people wanting to work with him, adding that Prince had turned Michael Jackson down‼️.

It makes you wonder what type of record Nas and Prince would have cooked up if it had happened‼️💯

Black Americans spend $600B/year at companies that employ less than 3% Black executives.

That's not loyalty. That's subsidizing your own exclusion.

Every dollar you spend is a vote. Vote for companies that invest in you — or build your own.

@JohnDoecfo3 @beyoncegarden This is not a fact. The theory goes that we (chimpanzees and humans) have a common ancestry or genetic component. What you’re saying is the lazy interpretation. It’s like saying your cousin came from your mom and dad. If you’re using Google to find this information… 🤷🏽‍♂️
