Yo Juicy J always rides for Nas, its wild thats his favorite rapper.
Even that silly controversy a few years back when Juicy was like he wanted to do a Verzuz with Nas and it was all this South vs East babble on Twitter, people dont reaize he said cause he rocks with Nas and wanted to show love to both catalogue

What new Nas? Is he talking about the "30" video?

I remember Clark Kent saying Nas and Big weren't on speaking terms at points in 1996 and 1997. Walked past each other in a hotel hallway without saying a word to each other. In terms of the Source thing, I'd imagine anyone losing like that would feel some type of way. Biggie was that dude, had the bigger machine and had radio on lock. Most NY rappers wanted a piece of that, it wasn't just Nas.

I also firmly believe that if Biggie had lived, Life After Death would have received some vocal hate from "real hip hop" purists. The hard records on there are undeniable but there's plenty shyt on there that went faaaar more mainstream than anything Nas did on IWW.
There was some backlash towards Big and Puffy for the direction they were going and might have been even more backlash if Big didn’t die.

But no one was held to a more impossible standard by Hip Hop media than Nas. Things Big and later Jay Z got away with would have gotten Nas crucified.
