Now the rapper connected with XXL Magazine, where he talked about the upcoming collaboration. “Nas got a CD coming out, Magic 2, that I’m featured on,” 50 Cent says. “I got a joint with him called ‘Office Hours’ we did together. We ain’t worked together since Power of a Dollar. It was cool to get in with him and do something like that. It’s interesting that the relationship is different because we in two different places now.”
“Nas, when I first interacted with him, he was like, ‘Yo, who’s that?’” 50 Cent explained. “’Cause the ‘How to Rob’ record got his attention. He’s like, ‘Yo, that’s like when I first came out. That energy is like raw.’ And he just wanted to see who I was. Just wanted me to be around and s–t like that. Then, he let me come on tour with him and he didn’t have to do that.”
Fif continued and praised Nas. “He was ahead of us. What he had, and I was looking at it going, ‘You gotta be careful’ because he was smarter than the music he was releasing. He was smarter than things he was saying on the records because what he said on the records matched how things felt in the environment not who he was actually [in his head]. We’d be on the tour bus, and he’d be reading books and stuff.”
UPDATE: The song is officially released now.
