After being informed by his weed carriers that Premier thinks his beat selection is shitty, your favorite gangsta rapper Nas decided to brag about doing a song for Dr. Dre’s mysterious album, Detox. He then proceeded to crown Dre (not DJ Premier) as the greatest producer of all time.

“I did a joint. I think it’s crazy,” Nas says of his potential contribution to Detox. “[Dr. Dre's] someone I’d love to do a whole album with one day. He’s incredible. I think he’s the best producer of all time.” [HipHopDX]

Hey Nas, Primo is the greatest producer of all time. Clearly, this is written in the dictionary.

    Nas is buggin.. what would “Nas Is Like” or “New York State of Mind” be without Primo’s magic touch? Shit, Primo singlehandedly made one of the only good tracks on Nastradamus in “Come Get Me”

    And Primo’s right, Nas needs better beats.. Dre is a good place to go to, can’t lie.

    But what if Nas right now actually believes that though? Is it wrong to believe Dre is the best producer of all time? Primo-bias aside?

    this story is based on rumours lol, you don’t know that those two situations are linked…I’m pretty sure nas knows his beats suck and will pretty much ask any of the top producers to do his whole album at this point lol, but yeah are nas and primo supposed to be like best friends or something?

  • Nas gives premo respect too!

    Stop starting trouble…Nas ain’t thinking about pissing no one off! Premo does not always say Nas is the best…so therefor Nas is entitled to what his opinion as well!

  • please!

    Out of the whole interview Nas did with billboard this is what you chose to make a headline out of!!! Go to billboard to read the whole interview if you really want the truth…Nas was not bragging he was being asked questions…and furthermore
    Nas stated prior to this interview he wanted to do an album with both Dre and Premier! Besides Nas is not obligated to praise only Premier…just like Premier doesn’t always praise Nas!

  • ok

    Nas is the man with or without great beats. He respects both producers! Why should Premier get pissed off about this? It’s not that serious, can people have opinions anymore without someone getting it all twisted up and making dumb headlines about it!!!!

    preemo is da best beatmaker ever … GOAT dj
    best producer is dr dre

    nas needs to drop first of all
    the lost tapes part II with fuckin’ dope and classics unreleased tracks ! this year.
    then his album with his wife kelis (dedicated maybe at his first son)
    then his tenth solo album
    next year probably
    after that, he must to work
    on a whole album with dj premier
    and also a whole disc with dr dre (dr dre from now not from the firm) cuz that will be damn crazy! cuz he must to know that jay has a 10 years contract with roc nation so probably 9 new discs… so nas needs to prepare the next ten years too !

    Skills wise, Dre and Premo are probablly on par, but Premo actually MAKES beats that people actually get to HEAR on the regular. Dre drops about 2 tracks a year?

    Im tired of Nas. If you don’t know how to pick good beats, your not a good artist. He is just a rapper.

    ^No doubt, Mo. I think I’ll start giving away some free anger management tickets.

    I wish there was an emoticon for satire.

  • Jsimpson2315

    Nas said he does not use the hottest beats cuz he wants a challenge. there is a purpose for his maddness. i would love to hear him get off on some massive beats though. he is still the best rapper alive with the wack beats

    producers deserve as much respect as singers, a voiceless bit is an intrument, a bitless verse is a poem but a combination of the 2 is a track(song)so NAS, u would’n be a singer without premier

  • jizz da blok

    First off- Primo is definitely top 5 for all time producers- but we are talkin about Dr Dre- and he is prolly the best of all time. Nothing funkier than a Dr Dre beat

  • Grow-up Already!

    Some of you people sound DUMB AS ALL HELL..getting upset at Nas about a damn made up headline! Nas ain’t thinking about this headline…he knows that Premier and Dre are both great producers and he states that…so stop with the antics about something that Nas has every right to have…its called a F*CKING OPINION!

  • thunn

    look, nas knows primo is the best and should say so. But hes only responding to what preme been doing in saying that B.i.g is the best artist he ever worked with didnt put nas album in his top 20 for 08 and so nas is just returning the favor and i dont blame him. I will say this nas, jay-z, jada, and all other ny rappers need to quit bullshittin and holla @ preme

  • jory

    Primo over Dre, fa sho. Dre is (and has always been) nice w/ the beats. But honestly, who’s ever had fresher cuts than Primo? Not only one of the best producers of all time… but one of the best scratch dj’s too.

  • Kell-El

    Swizz Beats > Primo

  • Brandt

    Smarten up Nas. The world still needs a Nas and Premier album.
