Complex interviews Nas
Complex: Looking back at the whole album title debacle, would you have just named it something else if you could do it over again?
Nas: No, it’s all good man. It’s what it’s all about. Getting people talking, getting people thinking. Rap dudes are serious dudes—most of us, man. And when it comes to the voice we got, knowing we got this outlet to reach mad people, that’s what I’m here for. At least in 2008, right here, it’s about being a part of a conversation to point out the hypocrites.
Complex: Kanye says that you are the greatest rapper of all time. How does it make you feel when people call Lil’ Wayne the best rapper alive?
Nas: Oh man, good. I only feel weird when you’re saying that about me. I think Kanye West saved rap. I think Lil’ Wayne is showing there is a future for all kinds of artists to continue doing this. You know, I love it.
Complex: Who in the game still excites you?
Nas: Kanye, OutKast, Eminem.
Complex: You recently did a fashion shoot with us where you wore a lot of bright colors. There was a lot of shit talking about it on the Internet, saying that you were dressed like Kanye. Why do you think they made such a big deal about it?
