The playlist description on Spotify states: “The legendary lyricist shares some personal favourites”.
The range of his favourites is vast. Nas puts together Missy Elliott and Griselda, Cordae and Mobb Depp, and, in touching proximity, Eminem and Big L.
Interestingly, Nas included not Marshall’s timeless classic that no one would question, but the track from his most recent release, “Music To Be Murdered By” “Alfred’s Theme”. It looks like Nas follows Em’s new records and likes them just as much as he liked the old ones.
The “lIllmatic” legen promoted his playlist with a tweet:
