Official Nas Thread

[Soymuscle Mike]

Worst offender has to be Fat Joe, dude tried to rewrite not only his own but Pun's history to try and get in Hov's good graces after Nas and Jay squashed the beef.

Most awkward shyt ever was when he had The Lox on his bullshyt Drinkchamps ripoff.

Joe: "aight let's get to this segment I like to call When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong"
Styles: "alright let-"
Joe: "-so when the nikka Nas had beef with Hov right"
Lox:

Here's a thought though, maybe Rae, AZ, Ghost, Large Professor, and Scarface all stayed neutral because they felt like choosing either on the spot was all politics. They really don't have to say one or another especially if they've answered this question multiple times before. Sometimes things just go without saying. Sometimes, people remain neutral because they don't want to play the game especially in something that's been debated as much as Nas vs. Jay Z.

We all saw in real time how political(phony) these industry nikkas are during the KDot/Drake beef.

 

[UnQuantized]

I feel like Jay Z is petty and he has in fingers in so many pots, that breh's who don't necessarily like him are wary of his influence. While Nas just isn't like that, he probably doesn't find it offensive that people close to him struggle publicly choosing him over Jay Z. This was Prodigy's criticism of Nas in his book, he's too laid back for his own good.

The flipside to that is that nobody in the industry seems to ever maintain any real venom for Nas, the way they do for Jay Z. Jay being perceived as this all powerful entity, attracts the Choke No Joke's of the world and others, constantly tearing him down.

Cause Nas is always there for young, unestablished artist

Disagree. I think it's corny. But u know what? I did see how Jay reacted to TI picking Pac over him in his all time list so maybe they don't wanna deal with that. But I just don't see Jay hitting up Large or AZ with no nonsense like that.

Apparently it is. Posters are questioning these artists loyalty to Nas because they chose to give neutral responses. I don't see an issue as I'm sure Nas knows where he stands with those artists regardless of the response they gave.

That's why it wasn't about Jay, it must be about personal issues they got with Nas (or mood swings, in Large Pro's case lol). I get why other people might feel they gotta play politics for fear of not getting a Roc Nation product promo deal or something, but I doubt Jay operates like that. And I'd imagine he expects Large Pro/AZ/Cormega to say Nas is the best, just as he'd expect Clark/Jaz/Bleek to say he's the best.

All this hinges on Nore being a reliable source BTW. He's not lmao.

NORE openly says he feels Nas is the GOAT tho. AZ was just with Nas not long ago. Rae and Ghost always with Nas. Lol. And Scarface says Nas is the best any chance he gets.

That remind how when they asked who's the greatest mc every time one say nas they tried to forced jay into the convo or try to shade their choice. I saw this with jlo common zion or jim jones

I'm saying I don't believe Nore when he says Jay is calling people complaining when they pick Nas over him lol. That sounds like typical alcoholic Nore ducktales to me. I think dudes are just either trying to be diplomatic or in their feelings. Plus I do think some people genuinely want to pick both because they like both equally....but that's not Large Pro lol. He knows who he thinks is better, he's not saying because he's in his feelings lol.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Does anyone else think the vocals on Life is Good are really clean? I don't know who did the mixing/mastering, but Nas' voice just cuts through everything and there's so much clarity.
