According to a report from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/01\/11\/pete-rock-to-sue-nas-over-unpaid-illmatic-royalties\/amp\/\"><em>Page Six<\/em><\/a>, Pete Rock is planning on suing Nas, who allegedly hasn\u2019t paid him a dime for his contributions to the Queensbridge rap legend\u2019s debut album <em>Illmatic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Pete Rock and his attorneys claim Nas signed a contract stating the producer would get a cut of the money made off the classic track \u201cThe World Is Yours.\u201d The money owed is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently in the millions, and although the attorneys reached out to Nas and his team, there was no response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNas and his people have stonewalled me since 1994; My New Year\u2019s resolution is to be compensated for my hard work on <em>Illmatic<\/em>,\u201d Pete Rock told <em>Page Six<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nas - The World Is Yours (Official HD Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e5PnuIRnJW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe World Is Yours\u201d was the only track to get a gold plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America. Pete Rock produced the record, has a songwriting credit and wants all the coin he can get off the song. Rappers such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and the late Mac Miller have all sampled the record.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unfortunate to hear Nas\u2019 relationship with Pete Rock has been fractured. But while that friendship fizzled out, Nas\u2019 friendship with Hit-Boy has strengthened tremendously. Their union has gotten to the point where Nas calls Hit-Boy his \u201cQuincy Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s like my Quincy [Jones], you know what I mean?\u201d said Nas during an interview with Apple Music\u2019s Ebro Darden on Rap Life Radio in August. \u201cSo I feel like the next thing I do, if I was to work with Hit-Boy on the next thing I do, I think that we might do something that is going to be magical.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Mark Elibert\"><br \/>\nby Mark Elibert\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
