Nas has said he’s into new rappers including Nicki Minaj and Drake.
 
The New York rap legend- who released his classic debut disc Illmatic in 1994- is currently promoting his album of duets with Damian Marley Distant Relatives.
 
And he’s said he respects the younger generation of hip hop. Speaking the Rap Up blog Nas explained:
 
“We love them, all of them. Jay Electronica, J Cole, Drake, Nicki Minaj, everybody. We love them. They're extended family right there.
 
“I think J Cole is fire. I think Drake is fire too. Those are the next ones up, we just have to see, have to see what they do, get to the plate and hold that bat up and knock it out the park.”
 
Nas and Damian Marley were due in the UK this week to play live shows and visit MTV but have been delayed by the current flight ban.
