He might catch up some heat (A little ) for this casino thing. I think it’s a smart business move for him and obviously as he says in the statement it’s an opportunity to generate an economy in Queens. But there’s also gentrification concerns depending on the area and the usual perception of casinos being predatory with gambling .


Interesting to see him and Hov investing in casinos now

Nas is probably doesn’t care about what the “public” thinks. He’s 50 years old and his place within the Hip Hop sphere is solidified. This is the same public who gave a collective shrug when he gave two other black men, legends of the genre, half a million dollars each and free health care for the rest of their lives

He definitely doesn't care.. I just know the backlash that comes when certain names attach themselves to stuff like this.

Also I feel like everything Nas does he makes sure that something positive comes from it. It’s something I’ve noticed about how he operates with business. Even if you look at the Hennessy commercial, it’s always aimed at positive message, show black history etc.. Nas goes at things with business savvy, but he always seems to make sure the deals have something stamped that will be a positive. I bet this deal will be no different.
