New Nas Interview With Complex Magazine
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: Is this your last album?
Nas: This is definitely not my last album. I’m going to do this shit until I’m 70, until I can’t fucking talk.

I know what Nas means (re: Kanye saving rap), and, in many ways, I agree. His soul beats saved Jay, and made Blueprint the classic it was. And he hasn’t rested since. The kid ‘Ye, regardless of what you may say or think about him, has been necessary and unequivocally important.
