Like any celebrity that gains notoriety on an international level, Macklemore’s past has started to surface, more than what the rather-candid rapper has already revealed via his music over the years. As we know now through many of the Seattle native’s songs, he struggled with addiction in the past, but he also apparently had a bunch of traffic violations (ooh, so bad ass.)

Nas Says, Collaborating With Macklemore Sounds Good. “He’s A Positive Storyteller.”
Nas’ music hasn’t been the forefront to his other ventures, like Hennessy endorsements and the Harvard Fellowship in his name, but he’s still working hard.

The hip-hop veteran informs Complex that the highly anticipated, “Sinatra in the Sand” featuring Jay Z and Justin Timberlake will be dropping within the next six months, and that a track between Macklemore and himself isn’t out of the question. “We might as well…He’s [Macklemore] a positive storyteller. You have to respect him for that.” That could actually be a great song! Besides that, Nas has a few words for Justin Bieber, or shall I say, everyone else that’s judging him. Check it out, after the jump.
