Tyga is currently gearing up for the release of his new album Careless World: Rise of the Last King, which is set for a February 21st release. During an interview with XXLMag.com, he reflected on collaborating with Nas and Nicki Minaj for the LP and how the duets came to be.
Tyga first spoke on collaborating with Esco for “Kings and Queens,” which also features Wale.
“Yeah man, I sent Nas a song like six months ago and I never heard back from him but out of the blue, he called me like, ‘Yo, you doing your thing. I want to be a part of what you doing, I like everything you doing. Keep working hard,” he said. “I sent him the ‘Kings and Queens’ that night and he did it the next day. I was like, that shit is crazy. Nas always talks that shit. The song, man, [his bars] added the cherry on top. It’s a real classic song. People are gonna like it. I wanna think of a dope video. The storyline of the song, the whole King and Queens [theme], it’s motivational.”
He also touched on the song “Muthafucka Up,” which features his YMCMB peer Nicki Minaj. “The song for Nicki is called ‘Muthafucka Up,’” he said. “I don’t know what they gonna call it on the radio. Maybe they might call it ‘Up.’ That one is one of them going in type songs. Like how Wayne had ‘A Milli.’ One of those Young Money records that people love. We got a crazy visual for that one, too. I don’t wanna give it away. I’ve been doing a lot of features for everyone.”

“Our President is WACK”
@Nas – How can you work with Jeezy while he and Rozay at war? But yeah man, Bieber is up for this shit. It’ll get the teenage girls buying it. Anyone else you want on the album? I’ll sort it out.
@Usher
JB is all we need. And lets add Lil Wayne too since we are in the YMCMB family.
@Nas – Swag, I’ll see you in the studio.
what da fuck is going on in hip hop the last few years its really changed in a major way
One thing I’ll say about Nasir… if you’re truly willing to get a verse from him and are genuine about what he’s solidified, he’ll reciprocate the love.
Never hurts to get money at the same time.
Nas clearly needs paper to do a song with faggot ass Tyga
Niggas are lost if they think Nas needs money. You old heads and hip hop purist need to get with the times. That is why the pioneers/vets of hip hop die off because ignorant fans only want them to be heard by a samll audience and stuck in the 80’s & 90’s. I guess Jay-z needs the money as well because he hops on tracks with everyone as well.
Lol its funny cuz Nas never said anything for about 6 months until he saw Tyga on TV lol
WTF is going on i tried to run it thru my head what a song with Tyga and Nas but something very horrible sounding keeps poppin up in my head.
BEST RAP GROUP IN FLORIDA
http://soundcloud.com/inevitable-success/sets/taste-of-success/
Dr. Dre + Rick Ross and DJ Khaled?
Nas + Tyga?
I dont want to live on this planet anymore!
Hip hop is dead officially.
Chuck D, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS-One will commit suicide and roll in their grave!
R.I.P. Chuck D, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and KRS-One
LOL
nas is such a fucking bum
he’d take in the poop to get paid in 2012
funny how the guy who made the HIP HOP IS DEAD album will do literally anything with anyone to keep his name out there
life is good though, right?
paying off his smut ex wife every month, shelved by def jam, talking about an album that’s never coming out, doing records with rick ross and tyga.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
nail in the coffin. every rapper either sold out or flat out sucks. only ppl who don’t realize it are gay ass kids that were raised by blogger lames.
“my style switches like a faggot”
funny thing is he’s losing fans and not getting new ones. ask around. nas fell off. hard.
schmo u a bitch. congratulation!
Nigga STOP with the gossip. Nas got you crying over the computer. Why are you MAD? If Nas is such a bum…then why are you dickriding his ever move and ever word? You losers need a life because Nas is LOL @ you internet gossipers.
If you think every rapper sold out or sucks why are you on a hip hop website? You literally took time out of your day to hate…that’s pretty sad
Busta did a song with Lil Twist, Luda did a song with Justin Biber, Eminem worked with Rhianna…Why are you on Nas’ nuts? Nas has worked with tons of different people over the years…You’re acting like it’s something new. Tyga sent him the song first…He wanted Nas on the album. All the people Nas works with want Nas…Is he supposed to tell them no? Nas is just too good for yall…You just want to see him fail or sell out because you want him to have a flaw. Get over it, it’s not a big deal at all.
busta rhymes did a song with lil twist cuz hes a closet homo/super sell out
luda is a sellout
eminem is a sellout
re-read the first post groupies
everybody either sold out or flat out sucks
i was listening to nas when he was dope
hes a fucking BUM now
awful LP’s
trash features
giving raekwon 10 year old verses
lazy, good for nothing bum, that trashed his legacy when he could have been the ONE
“stop hating”
nas said hip hop was dead before i ever did
then he proved it working with fag niggas like tyga
“i like what you’re doing, let’s work”
SELLOUT
help me pay my wife back hip hop
nas literally fell off the face of the earth the second he wifed kelis, now he’s living to keep her off his back
keep living in your own little world, dude. how about you put a colt.45 bullet upside your head if hip hop so shitty, save you some fuckin trouble
What the FUCK is wrong with you Nas?
Nas has always e-mailed in verses.
He just trying to keep his name out there.
I wish he would try harder!! LOL
Try harder for who? Nas is a 20 year veteran nigga he does not have to try any harder than he has since day one!
Nas is a fucking joke…
Nas is The most OVERRATED emcee in history of hip hop.
Now that u have said that, please go give head to a steak knife.
Hip hop fans are the worst…the culture will die because the fans are the BIGGEST LOSERS!
Niggas need to stop hateing Nas just trying to get paied.
LMAO at the same dude leaving a billion Nas hate comments on ever Nas related post. You love him more then his stans you fucking faggot. Get off Nas dick.
@schmo..you are a nigga on the internet calling Nas a bum. You probably punch a 9-5 clock making minimum wage. Nas being shelved?…Is that why Def Jam executives are doing interviews with VH1 for Nas’ ‘Behind The Music’ documentary. Is that why producers like JUSTICE League, DaInternz, NO ID and countless others tweet about Nas new album ‘Life Is Good?’ Is that why Nas is being requested to do features with Chris Brown, K’Naan. Nelly Furtado, Melanie Fiona, Mary J. Blige, CJ Hilson, Carlos Santana, Beastie Boys, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross because he fell off? You haters are mad at a man for being involved in his profession and interacting with artists that respect him as an emcee. How pathetic are niggas like you. Nas is winning Emmy Awards, selling paintings for 14k and donating the proceeds to charity and you got the nerve to call Nas a bum. If you were not such a gossiping bitch you would not be concerned about what Nas pays his ex but I guess that is what bitch niggas do…believe gossip. Niggas like you are pathetic.
true shit.
Kids on DX are hating like Crazy. Nas is a one of a kind, once in a generation. We are witnessing one the illest cats to ever bless the mic.
He is my fav Rapper for a Reason.
Fuck Kelis, and Carmen Bryan.
LOL
OMGZ
rihanna wants to work with nas?
lil wayne wants to work with nas?
nelly furtado wants to work with nas?
he’s getting features with chris brown!?
and you’re excited about these prospects?
i loved nas when he did real hip hop music minus the bullshit
nas is currently in a slave contract and def jam owns him sadly
how’s that lost tapes 2 sounding?
life is good been coming this year the last 2 years. all these pop acts wanna work with him, yet nobody wants to buy his gay records with bob marley’s hack son.
nas super fans are the reason his career is on life support. slurp everything he does with no objectvity or honesty.
Once you asked if Wayne wants to work with Nas and forgot Nas IS on Carter 4 you lost the debate. I bet once you saw Jay-Z front and center WITH Nas at Nas’ birthday celebration your soul started burning. I dedicate this to you:
(._ .)
^ that is a BLANK STARE @ you schmo the clown
working with wayne isn’t a badge of honor. it’s a sign of needing a fag niggas shine to stay hot. nas is ice cold.
how’d that trash album with marleys wack son do? exactly. guys career is on the rocks, hes working OT to pay his slut wife back.
^ difference is Nas is on WAYNE’S album, not the reverse, he got a check from THEM. We’ll wait and see how you sit and spin this one.
400 thousand and two world tours sounds good to me, Ross barely outsold “Distant Relatives” with “Teflon Don” doing 450 and he didn’t go on 2 worldwide tours. If you want to go further, “Deeper Than Rap” barely outsold “Distant Relatives”, and I’m using the so-called HOTTEST rapper out as an example versus one who’s “career is on the rocks”.
Go headbutt a steak knife GhostofNatTurner
Keep spitin the truth man
@schmo: Where is your career headed? You mad because you got owned on your hate and now you trying to spin your bullshit but sounding dumb as ever doing so. Nas sends his love from Aspen…LOL!
/\ /\ this right here is funny as fuck! Whoever u are yr a genius….. Made me lol
Stooopid dx comment system-,talkin bout the comments at the bottom
Nas is the greatest of all time, hes just helping Tyga out, even tho i dont prefer tyga music, its all love
come on cut tyga some slack yall even heard the song yet yall hating…careless world is gonna be dope yall gonna be shocked as hell..he prob the only person in Ym i have hope for
NAS IS LIKE………broke
(._ .)
YOU ARE LIKE…..an idiot
nas is da goat faggot..go eat a dick
Nas is broke though n he got himself to blame marryin dat hoe Kelis what the hell was he thinkin i mean comeon she made a song called milkshake!!
Nas is a multi-millionare. Fact.
If that’s broke, what does that make you?
nas will sign to cashmoney then hiphop will be dead
Read our conversation down below. Look for Nas. First comment. That will explain the label situation.
ITT: niggas shouting that Nas is broke when he has probably twice more in the bank than they have right now
Nasty Nasir is just lettin these young niggas know who the GOAT MC is.
Yall notice how he’s smashing verses all over the “hot right now” rappers shit?
Who had the best verse on Rick Ross last mixtape? Nas
Who had the best verse on Lil Waynes Carter 4? yep you guessed
I believe on C4 outro he spit”smack adoloscents who ask who the best is…”
now all these skinny jean wearing Young Money fans who swore Wayne was the best are all confused and conflicted
lol
lol…keep tryna justify, Naz just in it for the money…dont try and make a spin it, dude is sellin out collabin with shit rappers like ROSS and tyga
You cant defend your GOAT….$$ clouds everything
and hip hop aint just about money..
Didn’t Jay do Maybach Music 1 with Ross and is supposed to be on the new album?
When Nas works with Salaam, nobody wants to hear that, he need to get with the times and rap over different beats. When he does that, he’s selling out and desperate.
MAKE UP YOUR MINDS PEOPLE, WHICH ONE IS IT?
Put him up against LL on a song. LL would still get up in that a$$ Nas is inconsistent …. he rock that ish but then make hot lyrics with Wack Tracks. Let him get on a track with L and see who shine.
lmao @ the LL mention
@nat
real talk. dude is actively ruling.
stop spending your time defending sell out moves and trash music faggot. grow a set, have your opinion, shut up.
lost a lot of respect for Nas
he’ll get over it
I DID TOO NOT CAUSE OF THE COLLAB I LIKE TYGA ITS CAUSE HE DIDNT RESPOND TO HIM WHEN HE WASNT HOT NOT HE HOT HE HITTING HIM UP? Thought he was soooo real smdh
Nas doesn’t know you to even consider your respect…so get a life!
@Anonymous: You don’t even respect yourself. How can you possibly have lost respect for someone else when you lack the ability of knowing what the word means?
SO MR NASIR JONES IS GONNA BLESS US WITH ANOTHER VERSE THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME FOR ALL ENTERNITY WE WILL HAVE TO ENGRAVE THE LYRICS TO A STONE TABLET AND SHOOT IT OUT TO SPACE SO AFTER THE PLANET IS DESTROYED.IT WILL FALL BACK TO EARTH AND WE CAN PRAISE AND PRESERVE HIS LYRICAL HOLYNESS.
Excited for this Tyga album to drop!
Nas keeps his haters in a Frenzy…you haters are in a MAD and AGITATED state of mind!
“Don’t hate me hate the money I see.”-Nasir Olu Dara Jones
he just showing this young rappers what real liyrics are about.
NAS is the best…
this is why nas is king cause he gets respect from the subjects.
