@Art Barr we get it, Nas sold out and single-handedly destroyed Rap.

The question then is; why are you in threads concerning one of the biggest sell-outs (according to you) in Rap history constantly berating his decisions?

It's like you are still mad at him for making It Was Written to this day! Let it go breh :manny:

For me, Nas' blemishes add to his aura. His missteps have served him lessons that he learned and overcame and that is why he is celebrated, because deep down we all wanted him to win. Many emcees are technically more advanced than he is but don't have the "it" factor in their music, they lack the feeling that the golden child brings. He gets measured in a different bracket than his peers.

Nas will always be divisive (he has done many questionable things) but on some Hip-Hop shyt his unreleased catalogue destroys many discographies.

I could argue many points regarding the thread premise, including It Was Written, selling out, the O.C. conundrum, etc but ultimately I love Illmatic for what it is and I love It Was Written for what it is.

Peace

nikka do u KNOW how many rap nikkas used to no show back then? Rakim consistently did that shyt. nikka was a young nikka in the hood with barely means to travel. Wack album budget. Album was in the hood for damn near a year by the time it officially dropped. People overseas even had it. Thats how Rae and Ghost heard it. So it WASNT just some local bootleg. People had that shyt. nikkas was finding garages full of bootlegs. He DID get snubbed by the Source in favor of Puffs machine. The DJ's and producers DID fukk him over. Marley Marl was supposed to be protecting him and he just took advantage of him instead. These are FACTS.
Truth, I remember reading he had to borrow $ to cop an outfit from Gap to wear to a big awards show. I hate that such fukkery surrounds a holy grail…

*@ArtBarr has a unique ability to derail a thread. I block legends too! Don’t engage with that man😂. I don’t miss his posts.

search is 100% right. who knows what happens with nas' career if half of nyc didn't have illmatic months ahead of its release.

bragging that you fukked up that man's debut... wtf?
In some fukked up way it helped, was promo for him.

There was and will never be passes given in hiphop.

Ypu are held to the fire for selling out. Simple as that.

No one is immune.


We had plenty of hof talent.
Yet when they sellout. They are held to the fire. The issue with you pass giving enablers is. You are not and never consistent when giving passes.
Sohh miss me with this pass given shyt.

Especially with me being the protege to a legend.

You fans are not the actualized protege to a legend. So the passes you give. I will never do.


As I am rhe only sentry really still on post guarding the grail of this culture.
If I have to be alone. So be it. Yet I will not let my culture succumbed to this culture thievery.
At the core
Nor legacy of this culture.

You can give passes.

I am rhe protege to a legend.

I do not and will never waver or succumb.

Regardless of ill spoils.
you pass giving culture theif charlatan and enablers create.


#NotGoin


Plus at any and all cost.

I actually do have the skill and power.
to take heads and no emcee living past present or future can stop me.

If and when I defend.
Only thing you enablers will do.
is deflect and give a blind eye.

WHILE, I destroy.

That which needs to be destroyed.

You've responded as I thought you would.

All that typing and yet you still didn't answer my question; why are you in this thread?

Why engage so heavily in a thread of someone you don't rate according to your metrics?

See me, I'm never in threads of artists I don't rate, writing paragraphs.

Go make threads about MC Juice and artists you feel have never sold out. Matter of fact please give a list of artists who have never sold out.
I'm not deflecting or turning a blind eye to anything, it's just your deposition lacks wisdom and is very idealistic.

This is simple.

You are not apart of hiphop culturally. Sohh you think....
None of this is related.
Plusyou lack success.
So have no experience or wherewithal.
To understand.

Second.

You really lack any idea. Of how successful from writing reviews.
I have been since 1997.

Third.

The internet is a supplement to your business.
.you do not know this. As you are not the guy who was trained at the isP.
That created the profitability of every product in your daily life.

i really am.

are you asking this to chide.
Are you asking this. Simply because you can not take cultural facts being presented to you.

The problem with all of you is.

You live this eight mile lie.

Next.

Do you know who I am?

Like you posted this inflammatory sneak cap shyt about juice.

Yet do you have any wherewithal
at all.
to who or what juice is?


Like real talk.

You dudes are literally living off my actual success. Plus the success of where I hail from completely. Yet you think I will sit idle. While showcasing no responsibility. For that which I am responsible for.


This internet shyt.


Is my shyt.

nikka... you think this shyt would be pop'n without me.

You are sadly mistaken.

All the internet shyt you see.

I literally made a success from sales. All the marketing.
All the things you see around you.
A quarter century ago. A twenty year old black man. Became a successful black man.



nikka.
I am posting facts about myself. The issue is. You dudes are so beneficial to my success. You think just because you are on products. Where you got to see the benefits of my success. You think. You did this. When I did this.

That is the issue.

You guys are living an eight mile lie.
Everyone on the net is. When you really only benefitting from two black dudes who gave a damn tho.

One of whom is:

Art Barr

Have you noticed. Any witch hunt I have started.

I have been successful.
it took decades.
Two plus to be exact.

Are you scared I will be successful about nas now.

Are you scared?


Being scared or fear is natural.
Yet it is what you do with fear. I confronted the fear and possibilities of things. the reality being. I know none of you are prescient to. I put verbiage in daily lexicon. That changed how the world is for real. People who used to be bullet proof. Are now in custody and indicted.

Why are you mad I am a success.
Why are you mad at me having and creating change to freedom fight.
I am fighting sohh none of our children. Have to deal woth this maniacal madness. Yet the lot of you. Refuse to gain knowledge. Then try to fool those knowledgeable.

You sound morally crazy asking me. Any of this. As real talk. You lack the discovery and brain trust to be adept.
to what really occurred in history.

Breh.

I have changed history.

If you want to know what or who I am. Ask.

You dudes get so offended from words on a screen. Of course you never been successful as emcees.
I know so because i know from really living and creating a grassroots headliner experience. Just how many people in history are going to be that great as emcees for real. All because I actually have the experi3mce of really doing. That which y'all imagine in y'all eight mile lie.


I know what activity and being truthful creates. I know what cultural integrity can do. I know what effect I have had.

Have you asked this to be ignorant and sneak cap. As real talk. You did not ask or post this. To gain knowledge.
When any content i post. The reason why I am successful. Plusbl you seen every poster try this nonsense Wilt away. Is I know and post facts. Facts can not be disputed.

You know how that ideal about facts. Entered the internet. I posted it.
You know who said facts can nit be disputed and unused that knowledge to win to me. Where i never heard shyt about facts on internet before that. Juice told me that.
Yet people who do not and will not gain factual knowledge. Believe in their nonfact based opinions. Not knowing you have to be a fact based person. Not an idiot who is not adept.

You guys meaning the entire generalized you.
Or internet.
post from a place.
Or lack of being adept.
From computers to just knowledge of self.

Realize.
You lack rhe knowledge. Then use this gateway medium. To learn where to cross reference and gain the knowledge and actualization in live nature you lack.
In general....I know you will not do that. So a quarter century ago. I also went out on the products I was in real time making profitable. So it would be at least one person. Taking responsibility.
Who talked to you.

You literally living Peter Parker. With great power comes responsibility. As you are on a product.
Completely aided from a black man. That suffered Gwen Stacy like loss.
at an age way earlier than Peter Parker in marvel print.
Where damn... reading spiderman is the only saving grace for that experience.

So in that....you also had someone.
who takes responsibility for real. As I know it works. Simply because I used it for success. Plus was successful in real time. While dealing with grief. No one had any information on besides a comic book.

So pardon me for being responsible.
With that which I am responsible for.
Plus know. People need this information. To be better.
Even in your darkest hour of your life.
