Queen’s Bridge housing projects and looking back at the camera the photographer that took this picture for nazomatic in 93 signed this picture for me and gave me this college said in the video this is a classic it’s hip hop man this is a classic the picture was snapped by feigned
Photographer Danny clinch as part of the packaging for Nas debut album he previously spoke about the iconic photo shoot in an interview with billboard in 2014. I captured him looking back at me guiding me clinch said he took me for a walk around his neighborhood and I shot some photos of
Him from the back what’s crazy is that the two cars outside look like identical it was a one-way Street which is why they’re facing the same way he added Nas was a poet he was wise Beyond his years at the time hip-hop was about representing where you were from and
Telling stories of how you grew up and became you and that’s what he did that’s what made-o-matic so special highly regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time nasizomatic was added to the Library of Congress back in 2021 with librarian Carla Hayden calling
The lp one of the audio Treasures worthy of preservation for all time based on their cultural historical or aesthetic importance in the nation’s recorded sound Heritage the national recording registry will preserve our history through these vibrant recordings of music and voices that have reflected our humanity and

Debuted at number 12 on the billboard 200 chart and sold over 63 000 copies in its first week the album was certified 2x Platinum by the recording industry Association of America or IAA in February 2019 after initially selling a million copies by December 2001 DJ Khalid and Nas meanwhile have worked together numerous
Times over the years most recently joining forces I’m sorry not sorry alongside Jay-Z off the former’s 2021 project call it call it ice cube has chosen a side in the Chris Tucker vs Mike Epps comedy debate revealing the latter is funnier to him than the rush hour star
Cube spoke his mind during a recent appearance on the full send podcast and said that out of his two Friday colleagues Epps tickles his Funny Bone more than Tucker does Mike to me is funnier just as a pure comic Cube admitted before showering Tucker with praise for his performance in the
Original Friday movie he then said Epps wouldn’t have appeared as DayDay if Tucker hadn’t bowed out of the subsequent films yeah I’m glad he didn’t do it Cube said cause we wouldn’t have Mike the NWA Legend also confirmed that he offered Tucker 12 million dollars to
Reprise his role as smokey but he turned down the offer for religious reasons yeah we wanted him he said he turned it down you’ll hear a thousand different stories but we wanted to pay him 12 million dollars to do that movie and he turned it down he said it was for religious reasons
Didn’t want to cuss and he didn’t want to smoke weed on camera dot in a 2021 Instagram live interview Chris Tucker explained why he decided to walk away from the Friday franchise despite the success of the first film I never really told people this because I kind of forgot about it
I didn’t want to represent everybody’s smoking weed he said I kind of made it more personal than a movie I wanted to move on because when I did something I never wanted to do it again back then I was all about going to the next level
I had a good sense of like okay now it’s time to go do an action movie Tucker went on to say that he only made ten thousand dollars for making the film but was simply grateful for the chance to participate it’s one of those things it was just a small movie he continued
We filmed it in 20 days I got about ten thousand dollars for it or whatever I didn’t care I wanted the opportunity it was that small of a movie but that was the beauty of it it allowed me to get into character it wasn’t no big distractions like big movie sets
You got light people and sound people and everybody want to be a star but that movie was just a camera and me and Cube on the porch magic came out of it thank God while Ice Cube is currently working to get the fourth Friday film made the mount Westmore rapper has run into
Multiple snags along the way most recently he told drink Champs that he submitted two scripts for the fourth film in the stoner comedy series but they were both rejected by the studio I’m trying to get it out of Warner Brothers they don’t believe in the culture man Cube said around the 29
Minute mark adding that the studio retains distribution rights for any sequels moving forward I had two Scripts I wrote one it was the they was like yo we don’t want Craig and DayDay in jail cause Craig and DayDay went to jail for selling weed before it was legal
He continued then after they rejected it they had all these movies about going to jail Orange is the New Black dot get hard so then I wrote another script and the script was really about the youngsters in the hood having beef with the ogs in the hood and Craig has
To come back and squash that because Smokey’s son is the new Debo and he’s wylin they tripped on it man they around and then John Witherspoon passed then Debo passed they just it up
