"I got set up by Stretch and some Brooklyn nikkaz to take this rape charge. Then when I caught on.. they tried to kill me, but you know I'm hard to kill so I'm still here ...I thought Stretch was my man but when the shyt got hot he dissed me & let me get shot up!" 2pac







And I'd never click the video, lol...just going by the post saying he felt a little funky about Nas attempting to clear his brother's name.
Wasn’t Holla At Me about Stretch too. “You a coward nikka, you could never be live.”

Absolutely, specifically the first verse...but that was more insinuation/subliminal than just flat out saying Stretch set him up like he did in that letter he sent from prison.

He never said that publicly tho. Prolly cause by the time he came home his mental was different. U also gotta understand Stretch got mad and shytted on him to Fab 5 Freddy while he was locked up. Not saying I don’t understand why Stretch was mad.

Is this being considered as a "Mixtape" only asking because there's zero type of merch for this release.

I wouldn't know. The line between album, EP and mixtape has been blurred the last years. I couldn't give you the definition of either anymore.

You ain't never lied. lol.

Only asking because I loved to have a physical of this project. KD2 just got shipped to me a couple weeks back been bumping this since along with Magic.

Several years into their working relationship, Mr. Saleh and Nas joined a multitude of entertainers parlaying their wealth and influence into investing, a trend that continues today and includes everything from Ryan Reynolds’s investment in telecom company Mint Mobile to Gal Gadot’s backing of Goodles, a plant-based macaroni-and-cheese startup. It soon became a significant part of the duo’s work.

“8 a.m. meetings—that changed my world,” said Nas. lol

While working with Nas several years ago, Mr. Saleh cold-emailed Ben Horowitz, the co-founder of the venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz to discuss ideas, Mr. Horowitz said. The two men got to know one another, and in 2013, Mr. Saleh called Mr. Horowitz to say he and Nas were interested in bitcoin after seeing how many “unbanked” people in the world had no checking account but did have a cellphone—a dynamic he said could decentralize finance. When Mr. Horowitz later heard about Coinbase, the cryptocurrency exchange platform, he brought the duo into the investment.

Last year, Coinbase Global Inc. was one of six investments in Mr. Saleh’s personal portfolio that ended in a public offering.
