dude, its not about contradictions. The interviewer put that in front of Nas...
How the fukk isn't it about contradictions - when that's what Nas is addressing?
No one is one fukking person. The premise of what Nas is saying is as an artist, you can express yourself in many forms.
His analogy is all types of wrong, he's comparing songs of Gaye's and Brown's that cover different issues in relation to him being criticized for sounding contradictory. That sum doesn't add up.
Y'all taking contradiction waaaaaaaaay out of context. That goes for any artist like Pac, Nas, Cube, whoever..
Im not a Pac fan by any stretch. But you clearly see he's not one type of person. He's an honest artist. I'll give him that. Same with Nas
Nas is taking contradiction out of context by using those songs as examples of folk criticizing him. I ain't debating his 'honesty', I'm talking about how he conjured up this reasoning-block to mirror his shyt that is mutually exclusive with other artists' songs that are not.
a few songs out of hundreds is hardly a contradiction. We've all seen the vast directions Nas and Pac and a lot of real artists before them have gone.
Your apologetic devoutness knows no bounds. A contradiction is a contradiction, no matter which way you try to spin it.
