Wow. Just, wow. This has to be the most disappointing news of the year. Apparently Frank Ocean and Nas recorded a track together called “No Such Thing as White Jesus”. But the damn thing was lost because of some faulty piece of technology. Sigh. This is beyond frustrating, particularly because Nas has been so on-point the past year and a half or so. Sigh. Read a snippet from the New York Times‘ piece on Ocean that chronicles the lost song.
There was also a collaboration with Nas, “No Such Thing as White Jesus,” that was unfortunately lost to a technological mishap. Mr. Ocean expressed regret that album deadlines prevented him from recreating the song from scratch, and he broke into song to capture what was lost:
Whatever you do, young king, don’t wind up dead
Young queen, cross your legs,
Put a crown on your head and remove the chains
’Cause even diamond chains are for slaves,
Don’t set foot in no penitentiary
And don’t taste the poison
Don’t you bail on your families
