Of course it's a shot. Nas takes shots at EVERYONE continuously throughout his career. Just in the competitive spirit because Nas thinks he's the best. That's why it's so comical when yall get yall panties in a bunch whenever everyone in the entire world doesn't feel hes the GOAT or revere Nas like ya'll do. It shouldn't matter to ya'll because Nas himself feels differently. This is the same man that throws shots at Jeezy on Jeezy own song also threw shots at Jay Z on Jay z's own song and admitted to it. Noone else would do that shyt. Hov gets a lot of credit for it but Nas subliminal game it's arguably the best ever. Nas threw darts at Hov, 50, Diddy, Kanye and, Pharrell all in the 1st verse on 'Disciple' on 'Street's Disciple' album. For no other reason than they're not Nas. That's the reason. He always does it because he knows nikkas cant do shyt about it
