Even when 50cent and Nas was beefing he always showed reverence towards Nas. The bowing down part was in reference to Nas being king of this rap sh1t.
...the post couldn't be any more self-explanatory
It could be a regional thing. It could be a cultural thing. It could be a semantics thing. I don’t think we look at “bowing down” in the same way. I think 50 is giving Nas his flowers. He’s showing love. He’s giving respect. He’s acknowledging Nas’s influence and impact. To borrow from Nas, this is a king honoring a king. I don’t know what you @Ziggiy are trying to make this.

It's not that complicated in the context of their past beef(s) and how 50 sees Nas in his place of rap

I'm trying to find a really old pre-Illmatic freestyle I remember hearing back in the day...the old Escobar Theory blog has the lyrics:
I landscape madness / On plantation / A brief notation / To link quotations / Manuscript of a crypt / Transcripts a screen / I narrate the broke scream / You fiend like a dope fiend / 'Cause I'm in between your blood stream / And mean like Idi Amin / Pick up the feather and ink / I plan and think / 'Cause my mentality can make man extinct / The drums attack me / Drumsticks ask me / To direct my dialect / So it's exactly / Synchronized / I'ma open your eyes / And shake your eyelids / So you're now surprised / Nasty Nas conducts a raw note / My vocal chords can repel a sore throat / My domain is like Dracula's castle / Rhyme's are psychic / Brain cells, I hassle / I provoke your instinct not to think / Enter your brain and drain / Till your mind is blank / My microphone . . . is on / And that's my word is bond

Roll out was weird for sure. Made all the sense in the world to drop it before the Wu tour and have a couple tracks on the setlist every night. Thought there'd be a video drop this week with the talk show appearance and MSG show.
But this go back to what I been saying, dude's not moving like someone overly concerned with anything but the music. He don't need to do this for money no more. And KDIII recording costs with no guests, minimal samples to clear, recorded at Hit's own studio, your costs are very low and you making money week one. I get spreading the videos out over 6 months or whatever in that the hardcore fans gonna buy and stream the album week one and from there it's a slow burn, audiences got such short attention spans now and independent you don't got the machine force feeding them tracks like that, maybe it pay to hold back a bit and strategically remind em further out

The album wasn’t finished before the Wu tour. Nas didn’t finish the album until sometime in October
Yeah he was literally recording while on tour. WTF SMH and the bonus song specifically Hit said he flew in to do while on tour.

. I done seen the GOAT everywhere except one place MSG fukk u expedia
. I done seen the GOAT everywhere except one place MSG fukk u expediaDidn't realize this but it go back to my point about him not moving like someone concerned with maximizing his sales
From a business and promo perspective it would make sense to rush to get the album before the tour that ain't his motivation at this point

so save it. That Stan babble is cringe as hell.Nah I feel you and I agree. If he was moving in a conventional way I don’t think KD3 and especially Magic would even exist.
