This new DMX is the second time they’ve both featured on a song this month. I would not be surprised if they were planning a watch the throne album at this point in their careers...

but... it only makes sense to strike now before it's too late. I suspect we'll get a project this year, along with a Verzuz with a full crowd.

it's worth dreaming...

I don't see them doing the Verzus thing, I don't think they'd want to feed into that history more and it'd be kinda corny. Plus, I think the Verzus thing has already peaked as a thing...

Also, I think time is on their side. They could drop an album together at basically anytime and it would be a huge deal

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize it was an old song

Feed into "that history" ? Aren't they doing that by doing songs together ? This is a super weird take.

Hell no. It's alive and well.

Maybe I’m wrong. Wouldn’t be mad at all if they did a verzuz together. That was just my initial feeling

A Verzuz surrounding an album release would be huge.
Plus, I don't see them needing to tour anymore with both of them
having paid interests outside of music.

Again on Verzuz, the Method Man/Redman, Ghostface/Raekwon were amazing.

Meth and Red was a dream performance that I won't forget. Nas and Jay doing a celebratory Verzuz would be wonderful.

I can’t watch it anymore.

Never gonna happen. Maybe the firm, but doubt it

Nas danced around it in an interview but it sounded like he was scared to be on a track with Bis back then.

Perplexed how Canibus and Pun never did a song together, as a side note.

Peace,

The year was 1998

This joint was pretty crazy at the time

>This joint was pretty crazy at the time

I am pretty committed to putting together a documentary or dramatic series about 1998. It was a seminal year for hip hop.

97 was a transition period and 98 was like the last hurrah.

99 got slim as far as quality.

00 was pretty dope and there have been other really good years but 98 was the end of the golden era.

..i mean, Nas has been too but he wasn't always like that ...Besides some of blueprint, i really don't fuck with hov like a lot of people do

Considering his GOAT status, probably the most overrated of all-time

I know American Gangster and 4:44 are well regarded, but I was bored.

I didn't like 4:44 as much as many do (outside a few songs). I will say he was legit dope on "A Written Testimony."

all this.

Hov just goes for the cheap applause lines at this point.

lol I assume you disagree of course.

I will personally always check for both artists, out of respect. If they dropped a joint album I'd think damn, this is 12+ years too late ... but I still wanna hear it.

I’ll revisit, but 4:44 bored me. Every post 2003 Jay album bores me. At some point I just stopped caring about anything he says, and I don’t know how to get past that.

That Nas album was pretty good, IMO.

there is a new Life is Like a Dice Game feat Freddie Gibbs and Cordae with HitBoy producing that is dope as shit, came up on spotify for me today. I can't find a youtube link or would put it on here.
