Nas has $2 million?
The word on the street has it that Nas got into a bidding war with Puffity Duffity Daddy over what is supposed to be the Holy Grail of beats, a beat by uber-producers the Neptunes. The final bid? $2 million smackers. Nas paid $2 million dollars for a drum track. But it’s all about the art, right? Busta Rhymes, a man noted for understatement, had this to say about the beat: “Those drums man, Those drums are fire! If Nas is gonna rap to this beat, it’s going to be over. This will be the biggest hit in the history of hip-hop!”
