When were Nas and Jay-Z ever extorted or punked by a street dude? Nas and Camel both had close connections to heavy street guys but they stayed in their lanes. They were smart enough to recognize that nothing good can come out fukking with the wolves and kept those guys at arms' length. They had nothing to gain and everything to lose. Instead they used their talent, got rich and are still living the good life 15+ years later.
If by "ain't built like that" you mean "fukking around in a viper's nest and getting killed in the prime of your life instead of enjoying the fruits of your labor and being happy" , then yes, they're not built like that.
Were they really smart enough or lived to get old enough to get sick of the bullshyt...I'm pretty sure I've heard stories about both these nikkas hangin out and bein around people u could say a succesful rapper shouldn't in they younger years.
