When Nicki Minaj’s tracklisting for her sophomore set Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded released late last week, some were surprised to see Nas included on a song called “Champion,” also featuring Young Jeezy and Drake.
Speaking with MTV News, Esco revealed that the Harajuku Barbie reached out to him for the song, which will surface on the April 3rd release. “Nicki hit us up. I got love, so it was nothin’ — I did the record,” he said. “It’s Hip Hop music; music is music. If I feel it, I can get on it. I heard the track, I felt it, I loved it.”
Additional guest stars on the LP include 2 Chainz, Cam’ron, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. She most recently released the RedOne-produced single “Starships” and filmed its video.
MORE LIKE HE HAS NO MONEY AND OWES ALOT OF PEOPLE MONEY AND IS NEARLY 40 AND NOW DOING WHAT ALL THE OLD HEADS ARE DOING AND DOING SONGS WITH ANYONE FOR A BIT OF MONEY
SHAME ON NAS
Dumbest…comment…today…You are ignorant. Simple minded. A hypocrite. And NOT funny…Since when was it a crime to do collaborations? I wish I could reach through my monitor and slap you, you ignorant teenage piece of shit.
Seriously^ If this dude could have just fuckin hired someone to do his taxes then he probably wouldn’t be doing songs with dumbed down rappers
Typical elementary analysis from someone under 20 yrs of age who thinks gossip sites are reliable news sources. BTW, EVERYONE needs money.
NAS YOU WAS TALKING ABOUT NY HIPHOP BEING DEAD NOW LOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK YOU’VE BECOME ! SMH FIRST MOBB DEEP NOW YOU ITS A WRAP FOR HIPHOP NOW SMH
even tho i dont like seeing him rapping with artists like TYAG and NICKI MINAJ i guess you have to in this time and age! NAS is gonna send murder everyone on that track KINIG NAS BACK AT IT!!!
Stfu faggot. Nas sucks.
Nas is fucking garbage. He’s nowhere near on Nicki’s level.
Food Poisoning > Swag
Your mother’s pussy >>>>>>>>> Nas
Nas gave birth to Niki… It’s a queens thing homie! Nas I don’t blame u get ur money my nigga we all kno The Judge fucked I! Nas the illest hands down…
You sir, are clearly fucked.
Didnt Nicki Minaj say there would be no features on her next album?
She also said it would be all rap. “Starships” = not rap.
To all you Young Money faggot ass fans, notice the fact that Nas got on her album and not the other way round. Nas collaborated with Lauryn Hill and Alicia Keys, why do you think he would jeaprordise his taste and legacy by having Nicki Minaj’s moronic style on his album
Because Nas is a faggot just like his faggot fanboys.
Nas is trash! Wack ass rapper! He’ll never be up there with the greats like Wayne & Drake.
Anyone who listens to Nas deserves to die.
and anyone who goes by the name swag shouldn’t procreate, wash your ass
Money is money, and for all he knows, the song will be a big hit and suddenly he’ll be in demand again.
so Nas did a song with Wayne (well Nas rips the interlude on his wack Carter 4) Nikki and Tyga, and its got some people worried “why is he doing it?”…
clear answer, muppets like “SWAG” believe he’s irrelevant now, so he jumps on songs with the biggest acts and just murders them on their own songs. which just proves who’s relevant and irrelevant
Nas is irrelevant. Only nerdy backpacker faggot rap fans with no girlfriends like you are still checking for him.
^ this swag is a fake hes a faggot… come on Nas you should join Cash Money and help us dominate WE NEED YOU!
i do apologise to “imposter Swag” for making him cry.. but Nas is “real as it gets” no backpack rapper, but why argue with a no idea having lost little girl like yourself
Nas needs to do a song with 50.
Nigga you just doin this shit cuz you hurtin for the checks. I signed this nigga to Roc Nation and he aint done shit but awful collabos. Get ur money up nigga. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t!
yooo!! Bitch!! even I know Nas isn’t signed to Roc Nation u stupid bitch!.. i cant wait till Wayne starts sucking Nas’ dick and signs him up to Cash Money so we can dominate with the G.O.A.T on our side
So Jay if numbers don’t lie then are you admitting that currently lil Wayne is much better than you?
Yall actin like nikki can’t spit
You can tell how many little teenagers comment on this site. They say faggot a million times!!!!If you listen to Nas your a faggot”etc!blah blah!!!
SWAG keeps saying We!!Who is we? You don’t know anybody from Cash Money. You are just a fan who buys their music. That’s it!! Nothing more!Baby don’t pay you to be on these websites. lol
I TOLD BE PEOPLE AWHILE BACK THAT NAS WAS ON THE ALBUM AND NOBODY BELIEVED ME THEY SAID I WAS TROLLING. BUT LMAOOOOOOOO
LOOK WHAT HAPPEN. NAS RESPECT NICKI RHYMES. NICKI ALREADY KILLED JAY AND KANYE ON MONSTER SHE ONE OF THE BEST RAPPERS IN THE GAME.
13 LETTERS YMCMB OVOXO MMG
I THINK NICKI MINAJ HAS A FLAT BUTT. SHE’S A TURN OFF! RICK ROSS IS A SEXY NIGGA HOWEVER.
They should make a “Queens” record with Nas, Nicki Minaj, Kool G Rap, 50 Cent, Prodigy, LL Cool J, and DMC
Nas, G. Rap, Cormega, Prodigy thats it. LL & 50 would fuck up the sound
The majority of those emcees already repped a track together: Queens = Mobb Deep, LL, G.Rap, 50 & Tony Yayo.
Queens is = LL ft Prodigy & F.A.R.M.E.R.S. off his GOAT cd
Straight from Queens = LL’s 14 Shots cd.
Farmers Blvd Anthem = LL’s MSKYO
Shit, LL reps Queens more than any emcee from there !!
Oh, and Q-Tip
im done with nas nas used to be one my fav mcs and he still is but i aint fucking with him on this come on dog nikki manji are u fuckin serious she is one of the most over rated over hypes gimmick rappers to ever come out she dont talk about nothing she sounds like a fucking retarted minnie mouse im tired of these veteran rappas giving these garbage new rappers a free pass they dont pay no dues they make one song off you tube and next day they signed somethings gotta give hip hop now is in a state of emergency anybody that listens to this pre school bull shit out now u got serious problems real talk
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!
nasty nas escobar…. he just wants to fuck… nothing but love over here i wanna fuck too!
trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls
Lol @swag mad at nas for being lyrical. Its not his fault your stupid and don’t understand shit past a 3rd grade level. Anyway esco been disappointing me lately with this type of moves. But I understand its business. Now if he puts nicki on his album that’s a diffrent story. I’m truly done with nas after that.
LOL Nas is lyrical?? Try listening to some Wayne for complex lyricism.
Wayne lol please with his elementary punchlines and shit. The reason why lil wayne is the best to you kids is because out of all the garbage niggas on your top 25 wayne is the most lyrical which is sad. Compared to niggas like nas, ghost and jada he ain’t shit. Even compared to niggas like gibbs, bronson, shit even lil joey bad a$$ better than wayne. But that’s niggas on our list not yours. But the youths top 25 lol of course waynes better than the rest of weak class of rappers. Of course he’s better than Ross,lil b, Waka, 2 chains. So don’t speak on wayne the best of the garbage niggas
Scarface, Cormega, AZ >>>>>> Nas.
Whatever Nas… After hearing nicki’s first two singles she is more bubble gum pop now then even lady gaga or katy perry. If he’s feeling that type of music then this guy is just going for broke man. I think kelis and her child support and spousal support is eating this nigga alive. He has to do something drastic like hop on a minaj and tyga joint… You know just to get by. I remember the days when nas would sellout but still held some credibility. It seems he doesn’t care anymore. Lol this nigga just doesn’t care.
Shit idk why everybodies trippin. Im actually lookin forward to this collab I mean damn Nas is one of the best so I say the more songs he does, the better. No matter who its with, he’s relevant again bc of it. I mean look at all the new rappers trying to get on the track with him
I know nikki is a gimmick right now, but i think Nas see it how the rest of us objectional people see it. deep down the girl has some skills.
Undeniable talent but strong nefarious agenda too. She tip toes the line but her ass so big she covers both sides
Like I’ve said before, NaS have as many pop beats and pop choruses as he wants, and collaborate with anybody he wants and its cool, but if Eminem or Jay-Z does it they are sellouts….
whimperzzzz!!
Well judging by the last solo albums Untitled and recovery and the underlying theme throughout their albums I think that’s why fans can justify nas not being a sell out. If I see that eminem is doing a song with rihanna I don’t initially think that he is a sellout but if I hear it and it has cheesy lyrics and a cheesy chorus with a message aimed to please teenage girls then I’m going to think WTF. Nas had very adult themes in his last solo and collaborative album. Eminem…not so much.
Uhh Eminem’s topics were just as serious as NaS topics. Its just Eminem’s are about his own experiences, where as NaS are about things he sees. And yeah Em has had some really bad punchlines lately but overall is still a great lyricist (don’t act like NaS never has some bad lines)… And you realize Rihanna is on the track to give it authenticity because everybody knows she’s been through domestic violence…
Jay collaborated with Lil wayne/ Nicki Minaj /Rihanna it was cool.
Nas is doing tha same now it aint?
Its wat u sing when u do tha collabo that matters. Like how Nas’ Verse smashes the carter 4
The boy can spit on anything he wants, lets show pop culture what cloth a real mc is cut from!!!
I’m thinking NaS is tryna be the most featured artist in the game…and there’s no way I’ma hate on that, the more verses from him the better.
True
do you say the same about other rappers collaborating with pop artists?
Carter 4 >>>>>>> Nas’s pathetic career.
kill yourself
Nas killed the carter 4….. Lol
Nas always rapping, but when it comes to handling shit like a man, he runs to his daddy (see the way he handled the The Almighty RSO situation where he was punched in the face and had to call his daddy). This guy is bitch-made and is every bit as responsible for “killing” creativity in hip-hop during the mid-00s as Soulja Boy is with that lame Oochie Wally trash.
real talk. nas = biggest bitch ever.
Lmaooo when did Nas get punched in the face! Stop with the lies souja girl….
Nas has one of the corniest voices in rap. He’s a sell out piece of shit and only amateur kids dickride him as one of the bests when he isn’t even close skill wise. The guys that dickride him are usually nerdy pseudo-intellectual hip hop fans that think they know all about hip hop and haven’t been exposed to real lyricists. Nas is weak and not consistent at all. (besides releasing a bunch of shitty albums that his stans dickride).
wow…you really copy and pasted that on both articles about nas..get off his dick homie, thats the definition of a hate
Fuck Nas. The nigga can’t come back to my homeland Queens without hiding behind his baby brother Jungle. Yeah, that’s right. The homie would lose those chains in a hot second.
Bonabo wants to know where you were during the nasty video shoot. Tough guy on the Internet huh?
Cormega is the dude Nas wants to be.
‘Illmatic was real cause you was tryin’ to portray me’
Nigga I’m from the bridge and we treat nas over here like a king! Esco probably the only rapper that can come back here ……
Anybody who can think on their own doesn’t need to listen that conscious bullshit Nas kicks, only fools need to be taught.
So I guess you taught yourself how to talk, read and type bigshot.
Word. Real people read books and do not wait on a rapper who tries to teach them about things he doesn’t know shit about.
Nas was never real anyways. He witnessed crime through his bedroom window, he was never on the block, he’s originally from Brooklyn and he ran from Jay-Z’s crew.
youre a fucking idiot. nas was out before jay was and already had a huge buzz away from jay, back when he was still iceburg (you prob didnt know that). get outta here with that if he never shot anyone hes fake shit. 95% of rappers would fall into that category, he wrote about shit he grew up around. you think his two boys got shot for nothing? nas been true specially as an artist and definitely more so than most
Nigga what the fuck are u talking about Nas was born in Bk moved to the bridge when he was 4 so tell me how the fuck he ran from Jayz crew at age 4…, ps. Jayz did a song with niki the difference is niki ate up Jayz in mOnster….. Niki ain’t got no chance with Nas on the same track….. Nas I kno the judge fucked u sO go get urs…
Not a Nas collabo I would like to hear
There is no reason 4 hatin’ Nas. Just BUSINESS.
Only I have to do is listenin’ to only Nas’ verse from that song
Yeah sound like a bunch of bitches on here trying to clown nas…He’s a grown azz man and if artist want him on da album, why r yall mad at da man collaborating with her?? Grow da fuck up and by da way Superman u probaly not even from Queens talking bout snatching chains..been done got yo lil ass whipped!! Letz go Esco!!
What’s up, Nas? Did you forget the album you released back in 2006?
Nas turned into a fucking whore, man. It was something special to get a Nas verse back then, now the gimmicks won’t cut it anymore, so he’s riding everybody trying to stay revelant. Relase a good album if you want to be revelant, you loser.
he’s not trying to be relevant to be honest….dude owes alot of money for taxes and he has to pay a huge amount of child support…as much as i don’t like all of the collabs hes been doing i understand why he’s doing it
It was the family judge who fucked everything up!
Nas fans been begging for nearly a decade for that Premo or AZ album, but dude decides to rock with Nicki Minaj instead? SMH.
damn right u are
Dope collabo.

I was never a huge Nas fan and I for damn sure can’t stand Nicki but you guys hatin on him for doing music with Nicki is retarted. I can tell your not really a fan if your gonna talk ish when an artist thats been in the game for 20 plus years is trying to have different experiences. It’s just music, he’s not co-signing her. He’s not saying shes the best. He’s just doing a song with her. Instead of saying all that bs, the question you guys should be asking yourself is. Now that Nicki has Nas on one of her tracks, is she gonna bring it or is she gonna go pop hiphop like she seems to like to do. That’s the real question, cause if she goes pop-hop then she becomes extra corny to me at least.
FIRST TIME I WILL AGREE WITH YOU. LOL
Jayz did a song with Nikki in monster. And jay got murked by her on the song…. Hahaha
nas you are a flip flop artist
Wheres Yessir? I want to copy down everything he says.
Swag’s post are long enough to bother with. Please write longer rants.
He did it because he owes 6million in back taxs, google that it’s real life shit and current. He needs that bread and looking for a handout
What!? Nas collaborated with Dikky Ming?
