NAS ON BEING PART OF 2PAC's THUGZ MANSION:

NAS - "That was something I've been waiting to do for a long time. It's a tremendous honor because I put Tupac beyond Shakespeare. Unfortunately his early demise didn't allow him to still be here and do more incredible things. The things he left are timeless. Just to be a part of that is an honor for me."

NAS - "As soon as I heard it, I was with it. It was something I wanted to do with just a guitar playing, not really drums but something you could hear the words [on]. I was looking forward to doing something like that for my album, so when I heard Tupac doing it and the things he was saying, I was like, 'Damn!' It goes to show how he was one of the most incredible poets. It couldn't have been a better song at a better time. The concept of the song is somewhere to go where there's no problems. Everywhere we go, there's a problem. Everywhere I turn I'm hearing my name this way and that way. It's always an issue on all types of levels. Just being a human is hard.

'Thugz Mansion' is like exactly what the title says, it's heaven."
