In an interview ahead of Rock the Bells, where Nas is set to perform Illmatic in full, he talks about the making of the classic album.
He recalls getting the beat for "One Love" from Q-Tip, and says all his shout-outs weren't to anyone famous -- just his crew.
"The things I was saying was talking about them, was talking to them," Nas said. - Via: http://www.nbcnewyork.com.

Featured Release
"Nuclear Winter represents many things. It represents dark times in our lives, it represents the state of NY hip hop & how I feel about it, & it represents my blueprint on how I think the music should be done going forward into the future. This is my manifesto to all the people that doubted me & the kryptonite to all selfishness. It's a journey from darkness into light, & from bondage & the huge amounts of weight on our shoulders to breaking free and regaining our freedom. Nuclear Winter we're coming to take shine....." - Willie Maze
