Throughout her music career, Amy Winehouse made her love for Nas known, sampling his track “Made You Look” for her song “In My Bed” and supposedly writing “Me and Mr. Jones” about the rapper. Speaking with “106 & Park” hostess Rocsi Diaz, the Queens, New York native recalled the impact that the fallen singer had on his life.
“She was a genuine person, she was real. When you talked to her, she was real, he said. “She was struggling with a lot of things in her life, but she was a real artist. She was like a sister to me, like a little sister. We had the same birthday so she just had this big, big spirit for this little body. I wish she was here today. God bless her soul.”
He also spoke on Dr. Dre’s oft-delayed Detox, stating that the record that he has on the LP with the West Coast veteran is worth the wait.
“Dre is the king of the gangsta music. I just did something for his new album Detox, so I’m waiting for it,” he said. “We got a nice record.”

lol good thing it didn’t stop on jayz or kreayshawn
Fuck you loser
Nas doesn’t age lol.
No, why’s Nas always working with the wrong producers? Nas Is Coming was one of the whackest tracks on It Was Written. Hope this one is going to be a lot better.
So Dre is a wrong producer for Nas just because of Nas is Coming? Really? What artist would ever consider Dre to be the wrong producer for them… this is a bullshit criticism constantly leveled at Esco that just doesn’t make sense… Dre might be the greatest producer ever and Nas is far and away the best lyricist ever
Check everyday thing, topless, affirmative action, hustlers… Dre and Nas are a tight combination… and the Firm was ahead of its time… and btw IWW is a classic
you idiot dre participated on affirmative action just as much as I did on “NY state of mind”.. which means not at all..
and yes IWW is a classic, but nas is coming IS the weakest song on it..
as for the firm, they flopped, their album was bs, and there were only a handful of good tracks, and the best one “desperados” ain’t even a dre production..
nas & preem/nas & PR/nas & extra P>nas & dre
Lol you must be a fucking 10 year old.
You know Nas and Dre did a song together in 06 right? Hustlers from Hip-Hop Is Dead
Are you def tone? Nas Is Coming is sick!!!
so happy someone mentioned desparados, canibus and az ripped it
Yeah, they did. Can’t wait for AZ’s next album.
fame never changed this guy. Nas is still NAS lol. he will forever be one of the greatest of all time. can’t wait for the new album.
Damn everyone is talking about working on Detox, so overhyped it’s disgusting.
Enough about Detox already.
Fuck Detox..if Detox is some shit, Dre should retire and just stick to producing. Nas better not delay his shit.
For real man, concentrate on Life is Good Nas, don’t let other shit distract you, let alone this Sleepy Hollow ass album called Detox.
cant wait for detox to drop….
think about it, dre will have 7 or 8 tracks hes done over the years and kept them cuz they wer so sik, the album will be sik and it will be out, 2012

You 3 are pure dumbasses. Don’t ever talk sports again you dumb fucks.
JFranks asked the question because Shea Stadium was originally built in Queens and 90% of the baseball fans there are Mets fans not Yankees fans. Dumb dicks.
