Cam'ron: Nas LOVES hip hop. Jay is an opportunist. There's a difference

He coulda done something last year fam. shyt was sad. Sorry
So everything he’s done the last 30 years in rap is discounted now because he ain’t do a show last year?
He didn't have to do a show. I said that. To do absolutely nothing to celebrate the artform that made you what you are? Cmon man.
So every rapper who did not perform at a 50th anniversary of hip hop event even does not love rap music? I just want to get that on record

Maybe Jay didn’t want to go so he can let other rappers get their moment of shine 
Maybe he didn’t want to be there to take away from others. We don’t know why so we can’t speculate. There’s no real confirmation of anything. The show was bigger than just him being there. It was a celebration of the art form.

Jay absolutely loves the art form, but is he necessarily passionate about creating it beyond filling his wallet? Like breh above said, there's loving something and being in love with it.
Someone like Nas will make ambitious projects even if it means sacrificing sales just because they want to do it, while with Jay it needs to be capitalistic. Passion's the key word.
This is a job for everyone involved or else they would be doing it for free
Let’s keep it funky, if Jay Z was broker than all these other dudes we aren’t have this convo

The funny thing is ALL these guys have rapped about hustling and how that is the only thing that matters.
Now that it's indisputable that Jay is the best to do it....the goal posts gets moved

There is a thread RIGHT NOW of some young crashout telling A Boogie to be in the hood like he losing pointsI always relate to Jay z man. I’m an introvert. Jay is an introvert. That’s really all it is. Jay is NEVER around all these nggas
Only the black community is obsessed with the idea of our ‘elites’ still being accessible. Foh
‘Nggas look at you strange and say you changed. Like you work that hard to stay the same’
And if nothing else please understand these two words: Tyheim Bryan. That man was gunned down hours after kickin it with Nas in the hood. We want our ‘heroes’ close to the fire instead of flying away from the nest. It’s sickening
These nikkas maggot minds have a warped way of viewing things..

I say this with saying that Jay is the GOAT. If he wanted to be anywhere, he would have been allowed no questions asked.
Can you imagine the top 75 event in Cleveland without Michael Jordan being there?
That's what it felt like with his absence.

He did the Book of Hov about himself
His team did that, he didn’t know about it at first.

When u see Aries Spears describe his interactions between Jay and Nas it's pretty clear.
