Last updated on November 28, 2025

The collaboration between Large Professor and Nas exudes instant chemistry.

Among Nas’s collection of unforgettable tracks, “Star Wars” stands out. There’s speculation that songs like “Stay Chisel,” “Purple,” “Black Zombie,” and “Star Wars” were created during the Stillmatic era.

It’s intriguing why these iconic records weren’t included on Stillmatic, but it only contributes to the mystique of Nas’s timeless catalog.
