Not a Nas diss thread, but I was on youtube and came up on this old interview. It had me You got this hip-hop academic on there trying to explain how hip-hop is dead, but Jeezy wasn't tryin to hear all that. Jeezy a street cat, and just took it as she (and Nas) were disrespecting his type of rap.
A lot of southern rappers took offense to the hip-hop is dead concept. When Nas was saying that, the south had the game on lock (Lil Wayne rising up, Jeezy and Ross coming out, crunk music still live, T.I. was still the king). I even remember Ludacris wearing a shirt on 106 & park that said "Hip-Hop ain't dead, it just moved to the South."
Back to the interview, it was ignorant for Jeezy to bring up all that other shyt that had nothing to do with what she said. But I can see how he took it as disrespect, chic did come off as condescending.
