Ahead of their “Sorry Not Sorry” collaboration slated for DJ Khaled’s album releasing on Friday (April 30), JAY-Z took to TIDAL on Thursday (April 29) to craft a playlist filled with his favorite Nas cuts as a salute to his former adversary.
Hov pays homage to his fellow NYC rap legend with The Genesis playlist, which consists of classic Illmatic tracks such as “N.Y. State of Mind,” “The World Is Yours” and “Life’s A Bitch.” The 24-track playlist also includes more recent work from Nas such as the Kanye West-assisted and produced “Cops Shot the Kid” and the Grammy-winning King’s Disease.
The pair of Hip Hop luminaries haven’t connected on a record since Magna Carta Holy Grail‘s “BBC” in 2013. Prior to that, they joined forces to assist Ludacris for “I Did It For Hip Hop” after working together on Hov’s American Gangster cut “Success” in 2007 and the year before that on Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead track “Black Republican.”

Curated by Hov the God??? like Nas needs Jays approval, pshhhh.. this is hella corny.. then he still got merked again on the beat by Nas..
Jay z wack as fuck, he has to hear etger in his head whenever he looks at nas
LOL exactly, he left out the ‘biggest’ song of his catalogue WTF this the lamest move in wrap history! Respect? Look like Ether still make him walk funny AND he sucking Nas cock …
Like what songs?
Ether was wack actually. One of bad worse lyrical songs. Ron Browns beat outshined him on that
Shut up, you don’t know shit, Including who your father is
And what is your wack ass doing in life ?
Not sucking cock like you
Make no mistake. King HOV is only showcasing how wack and overrated baby money Nas is. The King is about to have two verses of the year. It’s the ROC in here!
LOL @ “baby money Nas”. Here you go watching another man’s pockets while you spend your life chasing said man down over the internet in order to criticize him at every mention. Poor bastard!
Shut up you sound like a groupie, Get your own money you’re not related to J
always sound like a medieval man
You love Nas. We are know. Hahahahahahahahahha! You know deep down Nas is the GOAT.
I don’t know if it’s more sad that you’ve been in these comments for the better part of a decade saying the same thing over and over or that I have been around long enough to notice.
You love Nas! You love his style….You have to be the biggest clown ever! Respect the King fool!!! We do this man!!!
Jay will never be King, he didn’t deal to DMX, Biggie or BigL when they were alive
And BigPun
Just looked at the songs. Dope playlist.
Give Nas roses while he can still smell them! Awesome gesture by Hov.
Terrible ! I bet every beat sounds the same with annoying tic tic souind.
What u mean? Like how today’s music is? Or Boom Bap Classicals
