Nas<\/a> and Eminem<\/a>, widely regarded as two of the greatest rappers ever, almost worked together on the former\u2019s 2012 album Life Is Good<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n In a sit-down with Joe Budden<\/a> alongside DJ Premier<\/a> to promote their long-awaited joint project Light-Years<\/a><\/em>, Nas revealed that he attempted to feature Em on his single \u201cDaughters,\u201d but the Detroit native politely declined the offer.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery record I do is not a battle. I remember I sent the song \u2018Daughters\u2019 to Eminem and at the time he had spent so much time speaking on daughters, he was like, \u2018Thank you, but I told my daughter I\u2019m not gonna do anymore songs directly about daughters at the moment because it\u2019s a sensitive issue with all the music I\u2019ve put out,’\u201d he said, alluding to songs like \u201cMockingbird\u201d and \u201cHailie\u2019s Song.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think [his] message was like, \u2018Thank you \u2019cause most people want to do songs where they\u2019re battling me on a record. It was refreshing to get a record where you\u2019re not coming for me.’\u201d<\/p>\n
