"Nas had the poorest work ethic for a superstar, that's why Jay z won" TK Kirkland

[jwonder]

I swear I had that same face too lol. I remember dude from back in the day but I don’t remember anybody calling him great. I bet I can ask 100 people who their top 10 comedians all time are and I bet nobody names TK Kirkland

Ad me to the list. Better yet I have no fukking idea who he is. Maybe I'm too old I come from Eddie Murphy to Def Jam to Comic View. Kevin Hart is the last time I paid attention to comedians. There is not even any good ones like Pryor, Foxx and Martin. I didn't watch the video I thought he was wack rapper or former entourage.

What the hell Eminem got to do with what we're talking about?

im saying you don't have to be on a bunch of remixes to have great work ethic

Let’s keep it 100. Jay is ten times more talented than either 50 or Nelly. I think it’s a disservice to say he’d be Nelly/50 status without Beyoncé.


The “Nas is lazy” thing hasn’t been true since Illmatic. Yes, Nas was a little lazy when he was younger. But again we’re talking about a young prodigy from the projects. Nas was 18 damn years old when he was signed to a major label. All kids are lazy at some point or another.

After Illmatic Nas work ethic improved greatly. Just because he took two years between projects doesn’t mean he wasn’t touring, filming movies, assisting other artists, etc.

You can’t tell me the man who made It Was Written, The OG I Am, and ghostwrote for Foxy Brown has no work ethic.

Nas was outselling Jay in 99 so miss me with this “Nas made himself unknown” bullshyt. Being low key and enigmatic doesn’t mean he didn’t have his own foothold on the genre. Jay and Nas ran parralel but different races, simple as that

No he wasn't outselling jay in 1999. That's regionalist history. 9'e of the reasons People though jay was winning against nas(before ether) is because jay was bigger than him in the years leading up to that

nastradamua only sold a little over platinum. Vol2 sold 2 million in the year of 98
And his next album sold over 2 million in 1999. Big pimpin was bigger than any song nas released during that time of 99/2000

Btw...am I the only one that never really found TK Kirkland that funny? Dude on here talking bout comedians like Jamie Foxx was hesitant to go on after him and I'm like

The only thing I know about him is he stole Eddie watch and Charlie beat his ass

[Ol’Otis]

Eminem is a white rapper who rhymed about killing his baby moms and was backed by Dr. Dre at the pinnacle of his career. It's two completely different situations which is why I'm saying you had no reason to mention Em. Try someone else with similar come-up... not a shock rapper.

Vlad is absolutely obsessed with 2001-2003. He can't get other Ether. It's amazing.

fukk DJ Vlad.

 

[Unknown Poster]

I really think Nas did something to Vlad

The irrational hate is ridiculous. How the fukk you interviewing TK Kirkland and you bring up Nas beat selection?

This. him and Cube must of dissed him personally for him to have such and axe to grind with them

 

[hex]

For what reason? He would love that. Not worth it.

The same way he loved it when Ross "approached" him?

Vlad ain't a troll....he would conduct himself accordingly if he got checked.

I saw this the other day tk always gives me the shady individual vibe and just because nas didn't want to do another take doesn't mean he is lazy. It's possible nas thought it was either as good as it gets or just simply liked it. I would like both sides of the story smh.

 

[hayesc0]

You can't compare jay to nas and why someone is more successful than the other

Jay is the type that will dumb his shyt completely down and do what's popular at the time. Nas doesn't go completely that route and go with that sound. That's why jay is more successful in the rap game. Point blank...

That's not true nas gave in on iam and tried to do the jiggy rap also lol.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

No disrespect bruh but this post is all over the place. Reminds me of this gif

let me simplify

in 94 nas starting running

in 96 jay starting running

in 2017 jay has won the race


nobody said nas didn't try hard... but jay ran harder... jay outworked him

Nas is projected to be a billionaire in a few years because of his investments (he’s a venture capitalist)

Nas doing his thing but a fukking billionaire?
