Nas Names Pop Stars That He Likes

Last Friday night, Nas was on Real Time With Bill Maher to promote the soon-to-be released twentieth anniversary edition of Illmatic. The two men discussed music in general, and Maher joked about whether Nas is the type of rapper to put a pop star on a hook just to get more recognition, and Nas said he would do that if it was a pop star he liked. Bill Maher then asked Nas what Pop stars he liked, and he said...




"Is Adele a pop star? I like Adele. I like Adele. Uhm! I'm old school, I like Sade (Adu). I wouldn't call her a pop star...she is...she is...she takes her time." (Real Time With Bill Maher)











Those are definitely pop stars with a lot of soul and depth in their music, not the microwave type, so I feel Nas on his decision.
