Nas was a guest on The Colbert Report Tuesday, July 17th. He talked with Stephen about why his ex-wife Kelis's wedding dress is featured on the cover of his new album Life Is Good. Nas also said he has no plans of retiring from rap anytime soon. He said that if musicians like Mick Jagger could perform well into their 60's, he didn't see any reason why he couldn't do the same.
Later in the show he took the stage to perform "The Don."

Lloyd Banks aka The PLK is putting the finishing touched on his third album, 'HFM2'. With G-Unit's track record you can understand why Banks has been selective with the features.
Blue Hefner recruited Dipset's Juelz Santana for the album's first smash single "Beamer, Benz or Bentley".
On the second single Banks knew he needed to add the right touch to the club banger "Any Girl", so he brought in R&B crooner Lloyd.
When Banks spoke to Rap-Up.com he explained why he felt Lloyd made the perfect choice for the record.
“I was always a fan and I felt like he made good music,” Banks said. “But just under the circumstances, [a collaboration] couldn’t happen at the time because he was with the other guys—Murder Inc.” Since Lloyd broke free from his old team, the collaboration just made sense “I knew he was going to hop to it,” Banks states. “He’s a hustler ’cause he’s been independent, so he knows what the grind is and he doesn’t have too many barriers to go over in terms of getting clearance.”
Once the two hit the studio together, they knocked the joint out in no time.
“In the session, it probably took about maybe an hour tops,” Banks reveals. “Lloyd’s easy to work with. He has ideas and he’s not afraid to experiment. He came in and nailed [what I wanted]. I’ve had records that are written and people may feel a little funny about re-vocalling it because it’s written by a rapper opposed to another singer. People don’t really know that I wrote all the R&B choruses on my albums.”
Make sure you download "Beamer,Benz or Bentley" original version on iTunes HERE and the remix which features The-Dream, Jadakiss, Ludacris and Yo Gotti HERE.
