Eminem has revealed that he purchased a sealed Nas Illmatic cassette tape for $600. The rapper was recently discussing his music collection in a Clubhouse room for Shady Con. He said, “I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, everything from comic books to baseball cards to toys, as well as every rap album on cassette I could get my hands on. Not much has changed for me as an adult.”
He then revealed that he bought the Nas cassette for somewhere between $500-$600. He said, “I think it’s backstock from what records stores had in the back storage. The tapes that never sold and they just kept them. That’s the only thing I can think of. Cause nobody’s going to have a f*cking Illmatic tape and not open it.”
