Nas fans have flooded his social media with pleas to keep on rapping after the King’s Disease rapper teased his potential final curtain call with a rather cryptic post.
In an Instagram video he posted on Friday (September 8), Nas teased that his upcoming album would be “The Finale,” but didn’t give any more details about the potential release.
What’s more, the Queens legend wiped his Instagram clean, so that the only post that was available was the teaser.
Check out the post below:
As might be expected, Nas’ post prompted a series of speculation — and begging — with fans alternating between pleading with the rapper to stay in the game just a little while longer, and wondering what, exactly, “the finale” was truly all about.
“What you mean the Finale man? Nah,” wrote rapper and Hip Hop commentator Rob Markman.
“The finale?!? Of this chapter? This book? Don’t play with my life like this Nasir,” wrote one commenter, while another said: “Stop playing Nas, ain’t no finale!!! Keep going.”
Other commenters, however, speculated that “the finale” may simply refer to the end of the run of this King’s Disease series.
There was also no shortage of commenters who gave their props to Hit-Boy, who has collaborated with Nas on the series as well as his Magic series.
“Magic 3?? By the way great run by you and Hitboy,” wrote one commenter of many who showed the producer some love. Although not all comments about Hit-Boy were positive, with more than a few commenters writing: “no more Hit-Boy. Please.”
Still other commenters speculated that “The Finale” referred to the long-speculated collaboration between the “Ether” rapper and DJ Premier, whose collab rumors first started all the way back in 2007 but haven’t yet materialized. “Well can he end it with Pete Rock Q-Tip Large Pro & Premo production?!?!?!?!” one fan wrote.
On the track “30,” which dropped back in November of last year, the Queens rap legend snuck a line in about the joint effort with Preemo, mentioning the album could still see a release date.
“Doesn’t matter this is sheer relief, I feel the breeze this is/ Superhero material, rap star status/ Premier album still might happen,” Nas raps on the Hit-Boy produced track.
Word of a Nas and DJ Premier album got around after the two friends mentioned wanting to do it during an interview with Scratch in 2007. Years would go by, and nothing materialized besides Preemo promising that it would come out in various interviews.
Good. I can’t stand overly lyrical rappers. Gives me more chances to enjoy albums by Queef Creep, Lil Bitch N****, Pissy Dead, Lil Potty, AssCheeksFreegoes, Lil Puzzy Hurtz, Lil Dump, Baby Diarrhea, Farty G, Fake Jake, DaButthole, Homo C, HPV Choirboy, and Wayne Brady.
Funny thing is, there probably will be rappers with those names very soon.
How old are you? 12??
Not my fault that your generation of rappers are effeminate homosexual caricatures of hip hop. Can’t even call this 🐂💩 mumble rap, it’s more like stumble rap because you have to be mentally retarded to be able to relate to it or so high off of their parent’s prescription meds that they stumble and fall all the time.
chainsaw hate now back
I guarantee you he drops an album on 9/14, his fiftieth birthday.
Hell yeah….too much of a coincidence to not do that date. Good call!
Nas is about to drop something unforgettable
He’s about to drop a hot deuce, that’s about all
Which will then get ignored in favor of diddy’s exciting new album
Thank fucking God he will be leaving
So you can have more time on your knees sucking all that 🐪 Dick.
Wait, your hoe ass is still here? Didn’t I ether your dumb ass on here like 2 years ago? Is this Laky the Kid’s burner account or some shit?
@corny “Didn’t I either your dumb ass on here?” 🤓
Still mad that magic 2 flopped?
Yeah with all the comments he left he still on his knees sucking dick. Look at that Diddy comment he made 🤣
Nas is still extremely overrated. He has a couple of good albums, but he’s far from a legend. When it comes to beats, sometimes it seems like he’s deaf. He has no trademark sound, he’s always jumping on the bandwagon. Moreover he’s an arrogant prick. Don’t believe the hype. He should have retired 15 years ago.
💀💀💀💀
We know who you are!
Pitiful the hate on the greatest!!
He had a mediocre debut and just because it wasn’t vanilla ice, people cheered and overhyped him. The rest of his albums were garbage
KD3 has some of the best rapping I’ve ever heard. Ever. Would be a sad day when he retires, but one that we must commemorate.
Lol “best rapping ever”? FOH, it’s not even Nas best album , not even close
The man’s dropped over 10 albums I think he deserves to retire
I hope it’s the finale w hit boy. No disrespect but I wanna hear Nas over Premier, Dr. Dre, Alchemist, Pete Rock, etc
I dont
Good riddance! Now Tekashi is the rightful King of NY, no doubt about it
Don’t just retire. Die. Good riddance
We say the same to you.
Probably the finale album he will do with hit boy in a while. I cant imagine nas wrapping up rapping just yet
Why didn’t 50 drop a full 16 on his magic 2 feature? He rapped for 8 bars and then just talked for the other half ..
All good things must come to an end. GOAT!
