I'd disagree on that, I thought she had the best verse but Nas was still dope on it too. Reason I give her the W in part is the verse is 100% on the point, no detours or deviations. Nas kinda goes on tangents sometimes so you get the like...IG DMing and I'm like come on. And then right after that he hits you with that amazing riff about cops being bigots not wanting to write tickets...and you're like damn he's back on track. Second verse was dope too. But Lauryn dropped a bomb. Great track, collab, beat, hook, etc. Salute em both.

Even better...it was Nas that got her to do THIS. She has an album with Kanye that will never come out. She has an album with Black Milk that will never come out. Multiple tracks with all types of great, important artists that will never come out. It was NAS who got the greenlight. That's power and respect.

:ehh: I'm not mad at that. I disagree a little but I'm digging your takes on the album. I thought Nas's verses were more broad and abstract than Lauren's. Like I could see where he was trying to take us. Lauren's verse is more direct. She's kinda copping pleas and responding to critics but it was dope because its coming from a real place.

But I think we can both agree the song is fire.

Just need to ignore these idiots in the media. End of the day if the music is good people will play it. And this album shows that. If you’re a hip hop head and you hear songs like Rare, Store Run etc etc the quality is undeniable and people will keep playing it it because it’s that good.

Nas has got a huge fanbase globally. Hip hop heads of my age and older (30+) love Nas here in the UK and that won’t stop and they’ll keep playing his music if it’s great (which it currently is)

The nikka Ish is an admitted Hov stan so his take is expected. Before they went into the catalog talk they gave the album and Nas’ performance prop…one set of stans being mad at another set of stans is always hilarious though lol

Ice tried to at LEAST remain respectful as a Hov stan. Ish with a STRAIGHT fukkING FACE said he’d put Kanye and Drake over Nas in his top ten:gucci:

Right. I mean, she didn't go all the way left like Ross on Accident Murderer. But I'm 100% sure she was going to shyt on her detractors regardless of what the song was about. lol

She hasn’t rapped in like 15 years she’s entitled to get some shyt off her chest.


Although i’ll N E V E R sanction shytting on your fans by showing up hours late to a show people paid good money for, her line in retaliation was hot lmao

Joe budden pod got a history of this...they not gonna show love to Nas without someway making sure to put Jay above him in some way.

This nikka Ish left Nas out his top 10 and put Drake in :mjlol:

I don't even know why one would even check/listen to what Budden's and the people around him have to say about Nas when we all know Budden's is/was connected to Jay through Tidal. Joe's Hov-washing is well documented

Joe Budden & Jay Electronica go back & forth on Twitter

Unless you were in the studio how are you 99% sure?

Listen to the verse, examine the writing style, listen to the flow it was written with, listen to the wise gems in it...it was all Nas

I know it sounds blasphemous but I truly have an ear for deciphering writing styles and rhyme patterns

This is wild to say without any proof

especially if when the shoe is on the other foot, it causes pure chaos…

It's basically a backhanded compliment. Only reason people saying Nas wrote it is because that shyt was hot. lol If she sounded washed up or rusty that wouldn't be the case.

I hope Charlamagne or someone asks Nas about this so he can dead it before it takes on a life of its own.
