Where the fukk is y'all Nas Stans, talking all that shyt and you don't know a fukkin thing, talking about Pete Rock begging Nas to do tracks, when it was Nas team that came to Pete Rock for Lost Tapes 2 and when Pete asked bout Royalties they said they will get it resolved.
You fake ass detective's in here thought you found something when it showed Pete Rock is getting royalties from that song, the team admit that but it's only publishing royalties
But Pete Rock is not getting his Master Royalties and producer's get that which comes out the artist royalties he received, meaning it comes out of Nas royalty check he gets from the song
And Pete Rock is entitled to more royalties since he sang on the track.
Pay that Man!
What are master royalties? Eradicate us if you have the info.

It's In the article they talk about Master Royalties that Pete Rock is owed
What are Master Royalties? Obviously he is getting publishing.

Bro you 2 options either look up the definition of Master Royalties, Google it or read the article. Pete Rock said he ain't received money from Master Royalties, everyone knows Producers get apart of Master Royalties but it comes out the artist share
I did look it up. shyt is confusing, but you were speaking so confidently, I thought you might be able to illuminate, but obviously you don’t know either.

Suing Nas for master royalties makes no sense.
Nas and Columbia/Sony aren't the ones that would oversee or distribute any master royalties. Pete's been around forever, he should know that. Whoever handles Pete's publishing is who he should be connecting with. Nas would literally have no insight as to how Pete's royalties have been paid out over the past 30 something years. That's something he should've solidified on paper with his publisher decades ago. Nas wouldn't have any pull on how that happens for him.

Daniel Evans, Rock’s business manager, tells Rolling Stone he had been going through the producer’s catalog a few years ago to try to create a “global dashboard of royalties.” “When it came to ‘The World Is Yours,’ I couldn’t find anything for him at Sony [the parent company of Columbia, which released the album],” Evans says. “ ‘Where are the royalties to this song?’ ‘Where are they going?’ They didn’t have any answers.” (A rep for Sony declined to comment. Evans says he asked Rock to call Nas to sort out the issue, but declined to say if the pair spoke about royalties. Rock declined an interview request.)
It’s a matter that Rock’s team says had come up before. In recent years, organizers of Nas’ Lost Tapes 2 compilation approached Rock to use beats for the album, his team says. According to Rock’s attorney, Lita Rosario-Richardson, Rock asked for a resolution then to “The World Is Yours.” “They told him that they would get it resolved, and they never resolved it,” Rosario-Richardson says. It’s unclear why Rock agreed for his music to be used, but the producer is credited on album tracks “The Art of It” and “QueensBridge Politics.”
Rock’s team admits the producer had been getting publishing royalties — which compensate the creators of the composition and lyrics of a song — for the Illmatic track. (The album has since been certified double platinum.) But they claim he had not been paid any master royalties since the track’s 1994 release. Producers typically get points on the master; the amount often varies — depending on their clout — but it comes out of the artist’s royalty share. (Since he sings the hook, Rock is also credited as a featured performer and is entitled to additional royalties from that; Evans says those have not been accounted for, either.)
