Nas and The Roots had a little cold war going on in the late 90’s-early 2000’s. Nas apparently despised “Backpack”’rap and Neo Soul back then
I remember this shyt
and that other interview where PONE called out Nas and Jay-Z for both having ghostwriters I gotta find that shyt
LOL everyone is in it from 50 shytting on Rule to Diddy talking about no money in the rap game like people think to Nas and Jungle shytting on Backpack rappers to Busta lol, 17 year old Juelz etc...
"Ran in Chris Lighty office and threw the beat it on
Did it up for Noreaga's Volume 1 What What, cop that
Straight from the streets dog, I don't do pop rap" - Juelz Santana "Motherless Child" freestyle
Trackmasters Pone?
damn that juelz freestyle
*edit*
the late 90s/early 00s were so “toxic”
boooy do I miss them days
That KRS part at 2:14 is both hilarious and mindblowing
Goddamn I almost wish I was a lil bit older in the 90s early 00s
classic fukkery
this shyt
back when you had to be outside to be part of the culture. this generation does it all on the computer.
Lol @ that nikka bustin his ass during Pastor Troy shyt
I'm still the same crazy-wild kid. I'm still on the run eatin'. I'm fat as a muh'fukka right now. I lost 40 pounds but I stopped workin' out. I got a rhyme comin' up soon where I say, "they call me Fatboy; see my gun kinda fat boy! I done lost weight but I like bein' Fat Boy!!" And that's Real because I was a skinny anemic dude my whole life, and I finally had the chance to be fat. At first I was cool with it, then I was ashamed of it. But now I like bein' fat, but I'm not fat. I'm chubby and it's cool bein' chubby, Man.
I was the dude that was "in the movie theatre when the movie Juice came out and a kid got shot at the movie theatre", in Queens. That was me and God Bless the dead to the dude that I shot. He's dead now. I had nothin' to do with his murder some time later, but God Bless him. Times change and people change and things change. Then and there I felt like shootin' a nikka to make me be well respected. But that shyt is nothin, Man!
When I had my Two-way pager they told me I'm walkin' around with a fax machine or a VCR on my hip. Or I got a Internet on my hip. You know what? Two years later, look at it! Everybody at the table got a Two-way. Everybody in Hip Hop got a Two-way. Every Record label got a Two-way. I INVENTED TWO-WAYS (Like Al Gore & the Internet?). And I take full credit for ME!

LSD- Optimist or pessimist?
