Nas congratulates Kendrick Lamar

[Smokin Rider]

Yea that was a weird angle for Drake to take but he was grasping at straws so I guess it is what it is.

No

He already did. Classic albums surpassed both. I understand, I'm 35 and grew up on them but Kendrick already top 3 at minimum

It's a industry thing since nas is signed to Hov

Nas has his own record label Mass Appeal that he’s been running since 2015 and “signed” to since 2019. Mass Appeal has transitioned from a label to an outright multi-media conglomerate that encompasses film, tv, music licensing, and podcasts.

Even when Nas was on Def Jam from 2005-2018 he wasn’t signed to Jay-Z, he would’ve had to have been on Roc-A-Fella for that to be true. L.A. Reid brokered the deal for Nas to come from Sony to Def Jam and Nas and Jay made peace to help make it happen. Jay himself said that he didn’t sign Nas, he partnered with Nas because you can’t sign an artist of Nas caliber.

In 2045 if Kendrick can make an album better than Kings Disease 3 or Magic holla at me.

Until then keep that bullshyt

And Dot doesn’t have an album better than Illmatic.

Man go sit yo ass down somewhere

Ol out the loop ass clown

Nas in addition to being the GOAT, has never been a crab. I remember when all Jay Z peers at Def Jam were mad and jealous when he became the president of Def Jam, Nas always showed support in public even though he nothing to gain by publicly supporting Jay.

I was waiting for someone to mention Ben Horowitz. He's the real power player Nas hooked up with and I think got him involved with his new team of Saleh, Bitbetter and Murthy.
@Ziggiy who is The G Code and what does he do?

Nas knew Ant before he met Ben

 

[Stone]

Kendrick the Nas of this era

He prob top 5 after the Super Bowl performance

Top 5 hard to break into this late into hip hop’s history but if this album he allegedly has coming is a hit and he kills the SB performance his resume is gonna be crazy

 

[L. Deezy]

Nas chose violence saying "watch the party die"

Lol

Man G code...
Sigh

Wish he would do more promoting for Nas. Lazy rollouts. But I know that's "Life is Good" guy, so Imma be respectful..lol

I never understood why more Nas fans went to Cole over KDot when KDot is way more Nas than Cole was. KDot is already top 5

Anybody who thinks them nikkaz is like Nas, thinks Nas is the rapper common.

Or thinks he is a conscious rapper. And lumps him into that category. Which he isn't.

If Nas is co-signing Kendrick it's because it's a good look for business, which Nas seems more concerned with having that business man imagine now.
Like jay

KD3 was the highest acclaimed rap album of 2022. Surpassing Mr Morale.

Them albums are INDEED all that

 

[MikeStamina]

The guy that never talks is now talking because it's a good look for business??? Smh
What "business" is that may I ask?

A GOOD LOOK FOR BUSINESS IS ALWAYS REMAIN NEUTRAL

Some of y'all just hate being logical

 

[Harry B]

jay and nas have co-signed kendrick in the past but this time it feels different. this feels like it's setting kendrick up for the crown if he wants it.

i didn't know anthony was nas' manager as well. i remember reading reports nas was in the studio with kendrick when he recorded his disses to drake. i can see it being true with their connection through anthony.

He’s Futures manager as well.

So basically it’s an Arab vs a Jew beefing

Aside from Magic 2 all of them got acclaim and rave reviews

I own the whole series on vinyl. I might spin em all for the day
