During a recent interview with the Financial Times, Nas spoke briefly about the current generation of rappers and whether any of the new artists pose any sort of competition. 

“I appreciate what’s out there, but there’s no one keeping me up at night,” said Nas. “I hear a new rap record and think it’s great, but I don’t listen to it the next week.”

The one young rapper that seems to have caught Nas's eye was the late Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke. “We were happy to see that young king come up,” he said. “He was a breath of fresh air. The drill movement in London, Chicago, and New York is really exciting.”
