Nas finds new way to remind us Illmatic was a classic


Columbia records has announced the release of a Nas Greatest Hits album for November 6th. It is entitled simply ''"Greatest Hits,''" as ''"Half of Illmatic Plus A Couple of the Radio Hits You Might Still Remember''" was deemed too long. The retrospective comes as far as 2004's double-disc release Street's Disciple. The album will also contain two new tracks: ''"Surviving the Times''" and ''"Less than an Hour,''" the latter of which features Cee-Lo and originates from the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack. There is no doubt this compilation will be as important to hip-hop as Rush Hour 3.

I guess there's no point in issuing honest-to-god physical singles anymore since iTunes, so I'm guessing the record company thought: "How can we get people to pay $15 for two songs that they won't listen to more than once? GREATEST HITS ALBUM!" Does anyone like major labels?

how is "nas is like" not on this. if youre going to make people suffer with a greatest hits jumpoff, that might as well be on there.
