Official Nas Thread

[Life is Good]

You gotta be humble and recognize where you are and who you aren't bigger than. AZ prob had mad people in his ears for years telling him he didn't need Nas, or that Nas owed him something, and all types of other shyt. Likewise Mega was thinking all types of shyt. The bigger man can admit it's not about being bigger than everyone, sometimes you gotta just accept reality. You think Nas doesn't realize Hov is bigger than he ever was and is on top of the world? Of course he does...but he doesn't give a shyt, because he's a big enough man to be comfortable in his skin as well as his own success. But when you don't have success and aren't comfortable, it's harder to make peace.

Mega is in a position where he's had indie success, and I'm sure he's doing fine overall...but he'd be doing better with Nas. Same with AZ. A coli poster said that Nas, AZ, and Mos are gonna tour this fall. If that's true...that's the type of look AZ needs, and the type of opportunity Nas can make for brehs. Nostalgia for the 90s is a lucrative wave. People want to see the legends...especially legends who give good shows and are healthy. Brehs can make good money on this tour. Mega could have been on that tour...but for whatever reason there's still tension. I don't believe it's coming from Nas. Maybe it's from their camps, homies, etc. But Nas is in a position where he has no time or interest in beefing with brehs.

I want to see Nas bring Mega out during a show, just like Hov did with Cam. Sadly I doubt it'll ever happen.

I can tell you that Nas doesn’t think of Jayz being bigger than him in the world bc Nas associates in the same world. He is respected by the people in the same world. I’m not even talking about the hip hop community. A person being bigger is a matter of perspective and Nas knows how to move within the same world as Jayz they just have different goals and have reached the goals at different times. But I can guarantee you that Nas ain’t never thought of Jayz as bigger than him bc he makes his own moves. Nas don’t even look at Mega or AZ being lesser than him.

I don’t understand why people can’t understand that people outgrow certain people and it there is not need for them to reconnect. Why are people so pressed for Nas to associate with Mega & vice versa. Some people don’t have anything in common anymore and it’s okay to move on respectfully. Not everyone is meant to be in your circle permanently.

Eh...even Nas said that Hov is a billionaire and he's trying to get to that point. There's nothing negative about the comparison, it's simply a fact that Hov is on another level, whether it's popularity or success, right now. That doesn't diminish what Nas is doing or where he's going. The point is Nas is comfortable enough not to be hating on someone who is more successful, and I hope Mega gets to that point too. Maybe he has already...whenever I see interviews breh seems super chill and introspective. But for whatever reason these two guys have something between them. I dunno, although like I said I have a feeling it's moreso about the people around them (crews) then those two specifically.

Mega aint got no beef with Nas like that. I mean maybe the love aint all the way there like before but theres no hate. He brought him out at the HHID album release show in 06 and I know they were kinda cold again when the Mega doc the next year addressed the beef but when Nas went to hospital for vertigo back in like 2012/2013 Mega was on twitter worried as hell for dude when he found out he had been rushed to hospital.

I dont think Jay, Nas, Mega sweating each other's moves and success like that.

When the time comes and they reconnect, it will happen

Maybe what Hov considers as success is not what Nas considers success.. Or maybe they have different perspectives of success. Like Life is good said above they clearly had different goals in music, business etc.. I see some people in general try to down play Nas. Nas does him silently and that's how he likes it.

Has anybody ever heard of a version of 'The World Is Yours' (I believe it was recorded live), with Q-Tip beatboxing, and Nas performed a 4th unheard verse? (That's all the info I have....somebody on IG told me about it, but they don't have the track)

This reads like a SOHH post written by a 15 year old white boy in 2003

Im black unfortunately, no white privilege here. You write like a random nikka who likes to dikk ride other nikkas on the internet.

Don't disrespect AZ like that. He's a man first and foremost. Nas shyt stink like the rest of us.

AZ stopped rocking with NaS cause NaS snatched his chick. Then Nas had beef in the streets and AZ RAN, thats why Nas don't be rocking with him to heavy. Thats why AZ always has todo interviews saying there is no tension with me and NaS I let by gones be by gones. But in reality AZ does alot of un thoro shyt an AZ is my nikka but a spade is a spade. There are reasons why they aint thay close & why AZ shadows every move NaS does. it's how he eats.

 

[iLLusoYuN_Da_Adidas_King]

I'm talking about now tho. I remember seeing a vid of Mega saying that when Nas brought him out, he felt Nas got jealous of the crowd reaction lol. Come on man. Why would you say something like that lmao. Nas brought you out because he knew the crowd would go crazy...why would he get mad?

In mega mind he always was the OG it's hard for him to come second to NaS his ego really can't help it.

 

[iLLusoYuN_Da_Adidas_King]

What kind of beta fanboy shyt is this post?

It's funny y'all dikkride artist's so much any narrative that doesn't fit y'all ideas of how it is, makes y'all react like someone slapped your momma.
Only person who is a beta is a grown man who insult's people he doesn't know when he has nothing to say. Grow up and speak like a man not a child.

I don't have proof of anything you stated so I can't verify that. AZ shadows him or does Nas invite him? AZ does independent shows. He doesn't need Nas to eat. And if Nas snatched his chick then who is in the wrong?

Dude I thought you was a troll? When you start making this type of sensible posts? Or am i getting you mixed up with someone with similar handle

Nas drops the ****** album az drops ******4life mixtape
NaS DOES invite AZ to illmatic anniversary events to perform life is a bytch.
I was speaking on why they become close then they don't become close. those reasons I spoke about earlier.
AZ does shadow NaS moves toa degree because they are connected
But AZ is his own man he makes moves seperate from NaS until things slowdown and you see him shadowing or attempting to shadow NaS moves its just what he does. Im done commenting on this getting nothing but negative energy from it. Peace.
