 BHR HollyWood Reports 

Rapper Nas believes he and Def Jamlabelmate Frank Ocean could have made a ''great'' record, but their collaboration was never to be, after the material got lost due to a technical error.

The pair had teamed up on a track believed to be name 'No Such Thing As White Jesus,' however G.O.O.D. Musicproducer Hit-Boy lost the digital recordings, and the song was never completed.

The 'Daughters' rapper revealed to MTV News,

''I've talked about a song with Frank Ocean about a year and a half before anybody worked with him and since then it's been a heavily anticipated record, but I didn't talk about which song actually.

''Now, I've talked about us working and we never got to that point, completing a great record. Who knows? I guess it would've been a big record if it ever came to light.''

After several fans tweeted about the lost collaboration on social-networking site Twitter, Hit-Boy joined in on the conversation, blaming the loss on a blue disc drive.

"RIP my blue seas disc drive," the producer wrote with a sad face. "I lost mad sessions."

Despite 'No Such Thing As White Jesus' being possibly lost forever, Ocean did give a small sample of the song to NTY pop-music critic Jon Caramanica, who profiled the 23-year-old R&B star for an article.

Sang Ocean,

''Whatever you do, young king, don't wind up dead/ Young queen, cross your legs / Put a crown on your head and remove the chains/ 'Cause even diamond chains are for slaves/ Don't set foot in no penitentiary and don't taste the poison/ Don't you bail on your families.''

Despite the loss of the track, it's been a busy month for both Nas and Frank Ocean. Nas released his highly anticipated 10th solo LP Life Is Good, whilst just a week before, the Odd Future singer-songwriter dropped his debut album Channel Orange.  I'm Big Blac This is Your BHR HollyWood Report
