Haven't read the article yet but I did see the quote at the beginning where Nas says people stop him in the street to talk investments more than music now. That's interesting to me. I feel like Nas is a more relatable legend than some of the others, like Kanye or especially Jay. In the sense that Nas, for a portion of his career, was clowned as not being as business savvy as others, the tax issues, etc. There was a time when laughing at Nas or going out your way to say he wasn't a businessman like Jay/Diddy/Kanye/etc was acceptable. Bryon Crawford wrote an entire book making fun of him.

But now everything has completely flipped...and you can tell certain people are mad. Nas has been successful for quite some time obviously but that tech and investment money has taken him to another level...I think we can all agree on that right? That's an inspiring story for people because MOST people don't hit on their first or second try...it takes time. That even later in life you can still hit the mark if you prepare correctly and are in the right spot to capitalize off your work. He's killed all that "Nas isn't a businessman" shyt. AND he's killed the shyt about beats, albums, whatever. At this point he's on top of the fukking world. And yet he still seems far more relatable than most legends. He might smoke a blunt with you and give you some investment tips. Hov not doing that lol.

I could definitely see nas smoking a blunt with a regular person and giving tips. He does seem down to earth.

Didn't he shoot that "Spicy" video in October of last year? Smh, I knew when I seen that behind the scenes shyt of him moving around with the mask on sometimes, off sometimes and that big ass crowd that he was moving sloppy. Glad my guy is good.

There is so much truth in this statement. If y’all only knew how certain people in this industry are infuriated they can no longer make this narrative about Nas not being a successful business man like Jayz, Diddy the topic of discussion. To be honest I think even Jayz and Diddy felt they were superior to Nas bc he wasn’t mentioned in the business conversation with them. Just recently Diddy posted a pic with all three of them and tagged his and Jayz’s businesses in the pic and them just tagged Nas with his name instead of with one of his many businesses ex. QBVP, MassAppeal, HSTRY, Sweet Chicks ect.

Nas has ghostwritten for Diddy. On Diddy’s BEST day he ain’t fukking with Nas and he knows it.


Didn’t Diddy specifically present Nas with the first Revolt Award? I doubt he ever felt superior to Nas.

Yup truthfully as a fan of Nas since the teenage years that why I ride for Nas, because I've heard and seen all the hate and criticism he got throughout his career. It's good to see Nas silence all the haters in every form of his life from music, business etc.. Goat shiiii

Dope little brief interview

Y’all be surprised. Presenting Nas with an award and Nas ghostwriting for him has nothing to do with him feeling at a point he’was superior to him. The industry has made certain artist believe they were superior to their peers.
