Nas can speak on it whenever he wants as


1). He LIVED IT. He was THERE and in the thicket of it all

2). He’s one of the last artists who are actually credible to speak on it. Snoop Dogg been told 67773 different stories on the subject. Suge has spoken on it. The Outlawz speak on it. Its part of Hip Hop lore at this point. Just like the Nas Vs Jay-Z battle, the Pac/Nas confrontation is something the public just won’t let GO of. They want more details even though its been talked about Ad Nauseam. If ANYBODY can speak about the incident its the man who was involved. He can speak on it how he wants whenever he wants

so much emotion in your post like damn we all Nas fans here but protected by Viper Stand Back

Anyways you said your Peace and Said Mines we can keep it moving, I stand by what I said Let The Dead Rest In Peace there's no need to bring up dark energy and spirits from a dark time in hip hop.

Y'all don't like it oh well

I damn near know everything about 2pac, Thug Life, Outlaw Immortalz, Young Thug's, Fatal N Felony, Dramacydal, Outlawz, Thug Law homie this is nothing new to me.

Nobody said it was a disrespect track you see how y'all like to fabricate shyt to fit your narratives

If Nap is cool with it and he's actually a close friend of Pac's, why should Nas or anyone else care about what some random "fan" or outsider in their stanly feelings, think about Nas telling his own story?

 

[Destined-2-Shine_HNIC]

Nas Is Like, Made You Look, Hate Me Now, Book of Rhymes, The Message, Take it in Blood, Stay, Ilmatic, Shootouts, Ur Da Man etc wasn’t hot beats?

8 hot beats in 30 years… nikka i can divide. Hahaha

In all seriousness Nas has rhymed over elite beats his whole career. The issue is they were few and far between. When he does tho its a classic.

that streets disciple, hip hop is dead, untitled era was rough bruh.

 

[Artfull Dodger]

I'm still stuck on Death Row East (DRE).

That shyt needs a video

After EPMD and YKTV and Nobody its the track im seeing getting more love

[QUOTE="Pop123, post: 42925419, member: 2135"]He was probably in the studio with Jungle and some QB dudes for 30 years telling him that them beats and shyt was fire tho, lol, can't overlook that...

Now he has a legitimate musical genius in Hitboy in there with him for the entire creating process meticulously crafting and orchestrating things musically for him, all he has to do really is what he is known for, come with the lyrics. Not to mention their musical chemistry is perfection.

The only bad thing is I just wish he met Hitboy a long time ago, [/QUOTE]


We're still pushing this narrative that Nas has had bad production for most of his career?

And he's known Hit Boy for a while now. The earliest known tracks they have together are from 2012. There's NO way they would have made albums like the King's Disease series back then. Hit Boy wasn't at that level of producing yet. And Nas had more apparent chemistry with people like Salaam Remi (grossly underrated) and No I.D. They're the ones that helped give us Life is Good.

I haven't followed Hit Boy's career like that, but he had to work to become the producer he is now. Nas just wanted a beat from him, but then they kept making more songs together and we got King's Disease. It wasn't even something they planned on doing.

This is what a Hit Boy-produced Nas album would have sounded like ten years ago:

Wow, there's actually a lot idk about the whole beef.....I never knew Nas was really in the "thick" of it, so to speak. He always seemed like he was playin the background, because It seemed like Mobb Deep and CNN were more involved in the beef than Nas. Did him and Pac ever confront each other personally? I know Pac goes at him on Hit Em Up, but were they ever around each other in person in 95-96?

Also i had no idea about the Bryant park story, or how Nas went to go meet Stretch there to clear the shyt up. Funny because right before Stretch died in 95' he produced Take it in Blood on IWW......funny how all the shyt works and was connected back then. Small world.

Then you got bytch ass Jay-Z who never said "boo" during the whole beef.....just kept quiet all of 95, 96 and 97'.

search Nas and Tupac New York or Byrant Park on YouTube . Nas, jungle, Eric B, Napoleon, snoop all spoke on the confrontation between Nas crew and Death Row. Both crews packing. Just ignore snoop’s rendition as his seems like lies as doesn’t line up with what others said

Just got finished listening to King Disease 2 and The First King Disease is a better album, more enjoyable, more memorable moments, better vibe. I think Nas and Hit-Boy ran their course, I wasn't overwhelmed like the first King Disease, this album was a victory lap Album that's it

I still think Nas should of done a Firm Album with AZ, Cormega, Foxy, Nature featuring Dr. Dre with production from Dr. Dre, Hit Boy, Justice League it would of been another memorable event in hip hop

Critical? fukk is u talkin bout fam I’m one of the biggest Pac fans on this fukking board. Speak for ur fukkin self. nikka Nas has spoke on Ill Will’s Death a MILLION times. In detail. From music. To documentaries(MULTIPLE). To interviews. That was a dumb ass question cause anyone who follows Nas knows he’s spoken on that ILL Will story a million times. I can tell u how Ill Will died from front to back. Wanna know why? Cause both Nas and Jungle have been telling the story for YEARS. U got everybody and they momma. Even Napoleon who just did a whole interview about Pac and all this shyt from 96. U got Jermaine Hopkins just doing an interview this week on Pac. U mad at Nas for speaking on a situation the fukking Outlawz JUST spoke about not even months ago? Let alone the fact it’s been a fake narrative floating around that Nas be hating on Pac. Nas addressed it in his music. Everybody able to talk about the talk Pac and Nas had in Bryant Park BUT Pac and Nas? Nas the only living person that can tell the damn story completely accurate since he was the one Pac had the convo with.

fukk all the bullshyt at the end of the day telling a rapper NOT to rap about HIS OWN LIFE is fukking retarded.


Nas literally lived through the most tumultuous era in Hip Hop history. Of COURSE he’s going to rap about it. Unlike some nikkas who have all of these unverified and sensational Tupac stories Nas’s story is actually verified and one of the pivotal moments of the East Coast/West Coast rivalry. To suggest that Nas of ALL people should “let it rest” when the rest of the living players involved speak on it freely is ludicrous.




Anyone with a brain should be able to comprehend this

 

[Day_Walker]

Nas tryna back to back at the grammys

Ain't no trying around here breh, he coming to take those Grammys.

 

[Day_Walker]

You reason like flies...
Who died/got shot/got beat up/ for jungle to even contemplate busting his gun on sight?

Pac was dead n suge paid for a hit
Not anywhere near similar circumstances


I also must've forgot about the scary deathrow click touching up Jimmy Henchmen n his boys.

You shoot at me. I make a song about you.
Sounds about right

Your favourite rapper stans the fukk outta 2pac. That’s gotta hurt you deep inside
