Nas: "Iggy Azalea is a really intelligent woman and she loves hip hop"

The Media scene in V is for Vendetta is the clue
Pause. The wealth > impact/skills argument has always been one of the worst in any genre. There might be complicated reasons for that which I'm too tired to even begin to sort through this late at night, but it's still alarming how rap/hip-hop has embraced it.
Besides, Beyonce Giselle is uneducated, a wannabe hoodrat from a very affluent background, and an industry pincushion. Money and a worldwide pop audience doesn't change that.
And Shawn Carter markets bull masquerading as an authentic hood experience to an increasingly more affluent white audience. Nasir is a clown for big-upping the Australian culture vulture, but there is a legitimate professional reason why he does it. Nasir makes attempts at relevancy and depth while Jay not only doesn't pretend to make an attempt at depth but revels in marketing lowest common denominator crap.
They both take Ls. This thread is about Nasir's recent L, but JayZ will never equal Nasir.
"Nas is a fool.."

We're on the blood path now

Side note: as a kid, I thought the union was grey, and the confederates were blue. I saw that hat he was wearing and was mistaken againThis doesn't surprise me from this Sambo. This nikka is literally rocking a Confederate Civil War cap replica in this picture.

"when i hit you up with the words,you'll never think that again." You dont have to like the "wealth>skills argument" But if nas finds himself "pushing poison to his people" a dozen years after he denounced it (for money) and working for the guy who shytted on him and his daughter (for money) then Nas (the subject of this conversation) feels differently than you,which makes my point A VERY GOOD ONE.Pause.

Say what you want about Beyonce. Jay-z is running his situation with her very well and she is a the ideal for most straight men. A cute sexy bytch with a penchant for excellence in her chosen craft and has exhibited this for a decade and a half. Knows how to keep her and her man's business out of the wrong hands and brings as much to the table as her chosen mate. Meanwhile Gnause is paying child support to some skeezer. You'd think he'd learned how to diagnose and deal with hoes after carmen. Nope,still a lame duck. Jay-z is more relevant than nas and has been for the past 16 years. Nas pretends to be deep but his actions show he's not deep at all.

O.G.
Nas gon wife that bytch like he did to Kelis
Blackout
just your usual nerdy brotha
Yeah Nas has a few songs about his success but it isnts the majority. Jay on the other hand....So? Nas raps about success and shyt that he owns and flossing, is he a republican?
I just gave you several examples of how Jay did things to purposefully align himself (in real life, not lyrics) against the republican party and you gave me this stupid junior high nerd shpiel about rapping about flossing
these nas stans
You gave me reasons how he aligned hmself with Obama as another way to show off his "power" and "popularity" which will make his name more known and get him "more money " from sales
Yet you still havent shown how Jays raps arent the republican way.

I came in here thinkin the same shytNot you too Nas
But he never really said the music was good. He just said she was smart and loves Hip-Hop which ain't necessarily false
Homie is obviously cool with her and/or smashed and didn't wanna be disrespectful. Also, Nas ain't really known to speak negatively to the media about anyone if you think about it

Superstar
Nas simpin is all.

before he did that he probably
for a white bytch but nikkas let it slide thinkin it was harmless
And @JustCKing the folk promoting Iggy on here are more than likely Nas fans,nobody loves talking about whos destroying hiphop more than a Nas fan
...matter fact now that you mention it lets take this off of Nas for a minute....Iggy was on tour with Nas,if Nas stans wasn't just as phony as they favorite rapper seem like to me Iggy should've been mercilessly booed every single night to the point she would've left the tour and leave hiphop
...but nawl she still here

And that's the crazy part about the whole thing. If people hate her so much, why continue to discuss her. Furthermore, people actually think spewing the whole "she's destroying Hip Hop" is going to magically make her go away. Like saying that on a message board has any kind of impact outside of the The Booth. It's gone beyond dislike for her music and false outrage over her success to people actually saying they hate her. I know The Coli loves to say that artists are being force fed on us, but The Coli is working overtime to force feed Iggy. Her name is attached to threads that really don't even call for it. Maybe some of them are Nas fans, but I'm starting to think these people really are Iggy fans.

Time Is Illmatic, a new documentary by One9 and Erik Parker, celebrates Nas's groundbreaking 1994 hip hop album Illmatic. The film examines the impact of the LP at the time it was released and in the twenty years since.
Now, the rap icon himself sits down with BET.com to talk about the film, the state of hip hop today and the changing demographics of the city that influenced him, and that he still calls home. "This film is about me, the music, my journey and an American story," says Nas. "It's about a time period when most of the audience [today] were kids."
Nas also reflects on the changing game of hip hop, but maintains that one thing remains true from 1994 to today. "Hip hop is a rough place, and you're going to get punched around" he says, talking about the backlash faced by contemporary artists like Iggy Azalea. "I think [she] knows that. She's a really intelligent woman and she loves hip hop. You need tough skin, no matter what color your skin is."
The rap legend also talks about the impact BET had on him over the years. "I grew up on BET, as most of America did. BET has been a big influence on my career," he says. "The network gave us everything we needed to see, things we couldn't see anywhere else. Without BET, lots of careers would have had a real hard time."
To hear more of Nas's thoughts on Time Is Illmatic, his early influences — from Marley Marl to Roxanne Shanté — and gentrification in New York City, watch our exclusive interview below.
Time Is Illmatic is in theaters in select cities now and will be available on VOD everywhere starting Friday.
