Nas supporters have flooded his social media with requests to continue rapping after the King’s Disease rapper hinted at a possible final curtain call with a somewhat cryptic statement. Nas previewed his new album, “The Finale,” in an Instagram video broadcast on Friday (September 8), but provided no other specifics regarding its possible release. Furthermore, the Queens legend scrubbed his Instagram clean, leaving only the teaser exposed. As one might anticipate, Nas’ statement sparked a flurry of speculation — and pleading — from fans, who alternated between appealing to the rapper to stay in the game for a little longer and wondering what, precisely, “the finale” was all about. “The grand finale?!?” What do you think of this chapter?
What about this book? “Don’t play with my life like this, Nasir,” one commenter remarked, while another commented, “Stop playing Nas, there’s no finale!!!” Continue your journey.” Others, though, speculated that “the finale” could simply relate to the end of this King’s Disease series’ run. There was also no shortage of commentators who praised Hit-Boy, who has worked with Nas on both the series and his Magic series. Other commenters suggested that “The Finale” refers to the long-rumored collaboration between the “Ether” rapper and DJ Premier, which originally surfaced in 2007 but has yet to materialise. “Can he finish it off with Pete Rock Q-Tip Large Pro and Premo production?!?!?!?” said one fan.
NAS Fans Ask Him Not To Retire Following Teasing ‘The Finale’ In A New Cryptic Clip
Nas admirers have been flooding his social media with requests to continue rapping after the King’s Disease rapper hinted at a possible final curtain call with a somewhat cryptic comment. Nas previewed his new album, “The Finale,” in an Instagram video broadcast on Friday (September 8), but provided no other specifics regarding its potential release. As one might anticipate, Nas’ statement sparked a flurry of discussion — and appeal — from fans, who alternated between appealing to the rapper to remain in the game for a little longer and wondering what, precisely, “the finale” was all about. “You mean the Finale, man?” “Nah,” wrote artist as well as Hip Hop pundit Rob Markman. “The grand finale?!?” What do you think of this chapter? What about this book? “Don’t mess with my life like this, Nasir,” one commenter remarked, while another commented, “Stop playing Nas, there’s no finale!!!” Continue your journey.” Others, though, speculated that “the finale” could simply relate to the end of this King’s Disease series’ run.

There was also no shortage of commentators who praised Hit-Boy, who has worked with Nas on both the series and his Magic series. “Magic 3?? By the way, amazing run by you and Hitboy,” commented one of many commenters who praised the producer. However not all responses regarding Hit-Boy were positive, several users wrote: “No more Hit-Boy.” Please.” Other users claimed that “The Finale” refers to the long-rumored collaboration among the “Ether” rapper as well as DJ Premier, which originally surfaced in 2007 but has yet to materialise. One supporter stated “Well, can he end it with Pete Rock Q-Tip Large Pro & Premo production?!?!?!?”. The Queens rap superstar smuggled a lyric regarding the joint effort with Preemo into the track “30,” which came back in November of last year, hinting the album could yet see a release date. The idea of a Nas & DJ Premier album spread after the two buddies mentioned it in an interview with Scratch in 2007.
