Nasty Nas

I can't seem to find any material where Nas released work under "Nasty Nas". Has he actually released anything under this alias? DiverseMentality 00:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes he did. See the Zebrahead soundtrack from 1992 where he appears as Nasty Nas on the song Halftime. Also on the song's single. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.128.138 (talk) 22:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I see. Thank you for pointing this out. DiverseMentality 22:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also on is album Illmatic, in the end of the song N.Y. State of Mind he is called Nasty Nas. --Urbanscape (talk) 20:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones is his full name and should be mentioned as his full name.--BhainsRajput (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen one reputable source that claims his legal name includes "bin Olu Dara." A Google News search of "Nasir Jones" vs "Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones" yields 476 results vs 23. --Zimbabweed (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His name is Nasir Jones. Bin Olu Dara sounds a lot like his father's name... I doubt its his name... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.157.129 (talk) 16:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a source in the article that cites his full name as Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones. — Σ xplicit 19:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you put the link here...so this can be confirmed...if it is in fact true or not. You always hear Nas claiming that his name is Nasir Jones. In none of his songs have I heard him say that his full name is Nasir bin olu dara jones

Religion

I'm not really an expert on religion,but is it possible to be a Christian and a member of the Nation of Gods and Earths People at the same time? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.111.20 (talk) 16:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Divorce

Is there a more reliable source to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.157.129 (talk) 21:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MTV has reported it. I'll add this as a reference as well. — Σ xplicit 21:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with his father

I am curious to what Nas' relation ship was like with his father. I know he "describes" it in his fourth album... but from what I had understood previously is that his father was never around.... can any one clear this up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.157.129 (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
