Nas won a Grammy and then helped create an award to give to others in the black community :wow:




@prophecypro you seeing this breh:sas1:


Powerful!

The 2 versions of the Henny Ad are great too. Thats how you turn any negative concept of pushing Henny. Get them involved in community (HBCU College scholarships) and aspirational driven ads and inatiatives.

Maybe lupe that day was feeling a certain way realizing his song he possibly had with naps is never seeing the light of day and just like the rest of his rapper groupies now gotta try to be slick with it
Is it really disrespectful though to say that in 2021, Royce is a better rapper than Nas? Of course he's not even in Nas's universe in terms of overall Greatness and career...but right now on just some rapping shyt I don't think it's that blasphemous, Royce is highly nasty.

Also, Royce said he feels like no one in that category can rap with him (that includes Jay-z), so Royce wasn't trying to slight Nas in any way. Lupe though been talking a little slippery.. I think he is a Nas stan, like he grew up on him and studied him, but he doesn't really feel like Nas has "it" anymore, he just doesn't wanna come out and say it because he doesn't wanna disrespect him. Thats the vibe I get from him when he speaks on Nas.

To me, yes its blasphemous. But take Nas out of it for a minute. I never thought Royce was that nice period. Just my opinion though.

Yes it’s corny and goofy. At this point in his career Nas aint even trying to out bar nikkas but he has shown he CAN if he WANTED to. If Lupe felt this way he wouldn’t have been asking Nas to do concept EP’s dedicated to one of Nas’ friends that died yet he never met before in his life.

What could Lupe possibly be basing this on? Lol I honestly think it's jealousy. Lupe wishes he was as celebrated as Nas, and he simply doesn't have the appeal or swag to be in that room.

Any body notices that Nas doesn't use that much profanity in his rhymes, I wanna say in the past 12 years. I think its cool might be a nod to Rakim.
Yeah except for niccaz he seems to have dialed it down a bit, makes it even more effective when he actually does use it.

"What the fukk is up with Gail King!" stood out exactly because of what you said.
