Nas Covers November XXL. Gets Interviewed By Tyler, The Creator

 Nas grabs the cover for the November issue of XXL. The veteran MC gets interviewed by Odd Future's Tyler, The Creator.

Check out an excerpt from the interview below.

“You, Em, Jay, Snoop, like, you guys all started when you was exactly my age,” Tyler said. “The fact that you guys are still here makes me just always think, like, F***, could I?”
“Oh, you definitely can,” Nas replied. “Someone like you is, you’re interesting, for a lot of reasons. So someone like you, you can’t wait to see what’s next.”

And the topics continued to get deeper as the conversation went on.

“Are you, like—this question might catch you off guard, but I ask myself this—like, when you wake up, like, are you happy,” Tyler asked. “Like, are you satisfied how everything turned out?”

“Dawg, I was naming my album Life Is Good because of how happy I am about how happy things have turned out,” Nas answered. “Sometimes I may wake up and wish my kids were living with me. That’s the only thing, you know what I mean? Our loved ones that are not around no more, like my mom. That’s the only thing. But other than that, everything is great, even when I’m alone. Even when there’s no one around.”

Loudest Out (Duos)

It remains to be seen if there's truth to DJ Khaled and Drake's declaration that Rick Ross's upcoming album, God Forgives, I Don't, is a classic-in-the-making. And while fans will have to wait until the December 13 release date to make that determination, on Tuesday night, they got a head-start after the Bawse dropped two promising singles. Rozay gave fans just a taste of his fifth solo LP last night when he visited New York radio disc jockey Funkmaster Flex and premiered "I Love My Bitches" and the Nicki Minaj-assisted "You the Boss" on Hot 97.

Andre 3000 makes a rare appearance on her newest track titled, “Party” which was produced by Kanye West and Consequence. The special thing about this track is that it’s the only song on Beyonce’s forthcoming album ’4′ that contains a feature. (Audio)
Kelly Rowland just dropped her newest single, “Lay It on Me” from her new album “Here I Am”. She teamed up with big Sean for this one. (Jimmy Kimmel Performance)
