Nas has completed 20 years in Hip-Hop and XXL has paid tribute to the legend by putting him on the cover of their November issue which hits news stands on October 25th. In the issue, he’s interviewed by Tyler, The Creator where they discuss music, religion, family, drugs, the Internet and much more. Below is an excerpt.
“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.”
