Nastradoomus

Nastradoomus, released on vinyl on September 3, 2003, and reissued on CD in 2006 by HipHopSite.com Recordings (the label associated with music retailer HipHopSite.com), is a hip-hop mixtape. The promo album, created by Las Vegas DJ Max Bedroom, blends vocals from Nas' Nastradamus with beats taken from MF Doom's Special Herbs. This mixtape is notable primarily because it marries MF Doom production loved by hardcore hip-hop fans with raps from reknowned emcee Nas from what is widely considered his most disappointing album, its chief shortcoming being the beats. The album has been continually discovered and received well by fans over the years.
