Nobody.”
Aug 5, 2021 “I think that’s probably would be my definition, one of the things that would factor in. But yeah, man, that was a play straight through album. Every song was dope. You got the beginning of Nas right there, ‘Live at the Barbecue.’ He said, ‘When I was 12, I went to h--- for snuffing Jesus.'”
Aug 5, 2021 Warming up “One of the only other rappers I thought about was AZ. And I wanted Eminem for a remix for “Daughters,” but he had already expressed that he’s spoken so much about his daughter throughout his career that he had done that subject too much. And me and Jay-Z talked about doing some things, but our schedules were so crazy.”
