http://www.contactmusic.com/news/ice-cube-in-talks-for-collaboration-with-scarface-nas_1055897
Rapper/actor Ice Cube is planning a superstar collaboration with his hip-hop peers Scarface and Nas.
The former N.W.A. star admits they have yet to decide on the finer details, but a project with Scarface - an ex member of rap group
The Geto Boys and the current president of the Def Jam South record label - is definitely in the works.
And the star - real name O'Shea Jackson - hopes Nas
will be involved in some way too.
He tells HHNLive.com, "We have been talking. Me and Scarface… and I think with Nas doing his release this year, we definitely can come up with something.
"Whether it's touring, doing a track together or... (a) Scarface, Ice Cube and Nas album... These are things that are definitely in the air right now..."

Last week, Houston rapper Scarface revealed in a surprise announcement that he was quitting the rap game after his next album Emeritus.
However, the Texas legend gave himself an out, illuminating his desire to craft one final album; a dream supergroup project between himself, Nas, and Ice Cube.
Upon hearing the news, Cube was ecstatic about moving the project past talk and into the studio.
“Of course, I wouldn’t even think twice about doing that…hell yeah!” Cube declared. “I think the album would be crazy, lyrics would be sick, and Hip-Hop would love it. It’s just making that business happen, that’s the part that gets funky. I ain’t never turned down these kind of projects, they just don’t happen for whatever reasons. But I’m up for some s**t like this because I know we can make a dope record.”

I can't find the video on youtube with Nas and Scarface backstage or something and I think Scarface asked Nas about the collaboration.

Waiting patiently, Life Is Good was a damn fine album. I'd rank his 02-12 albums like this...
The Lost Tapes
God's Son
Life Is Good
Hip Hop Is Dead
Street's Disciple (would be ranked higher if condensed to a single lp but we can say that for pretty much any double disc rap album)
Untitled
The Lost Tapes
God's Son

That Nas track The World produced by Ye will always be amazing 
As far as a new album title & project, can't wait... Whether its another solo project, Distant Relatives 2, or any other collabs, new Nas is always appreciated.
I just hope eventually we hear that new AZ track from this studio session

Still got a lot of love for Untitled though, even though I ranked it last. I always felt SD would've been a much better album too if Nas made it a single disc release & dropped some of those fillers.

The World aka "You Mean The World To Me" was from the HHID sessions, it's a solid song that could have replaced a few songs (You Can't Kill Me) on the album.did u hear the real Untitled? Some tracks were left out because of sample clearance.

All of the songs are out except:
"The Scientist" - only the snippet
"Colors" - only the snippet
"Get Up" - mentioned in a article but never leaked
The other song with Jay-Z
"White Man's Paper" feat Damian Marley
White Man's Paper (War) (Feat. Damian Marley) (Prod. ???): The reggae-scented duet between Nas and Marley, in part, concerns "the politics of warfare", as Rolling Stone detailed earlier. The question marks regarding the producer are there because we only know from FADER that "some new African dude" put the work in. Who is that? It's anyone's guess, Africa is kinda big.
Title Unknown??? (Feat. Jay-Z) (Prod. L.E.S.): According to XXL, Jay-Z and Nas "knocked out three songs in one night, and one is making [Hip-Hop Is Dead]." This doesn't necessarily mean that all important first collaboration will appear on HHID, but, during the Westwood interview, Nas implied that much. And lucky LES gets the honor (see: pressure).

Out of 19 songs it has obviously one song about her, with maybe 2 other songs that mention her.

The songs may not mention Kelis directly but you can feel the vibe of album...she had a major impact on the process.
Regardless...LIG is damn near at the bottom when I rate his albums.
