Its known Ra never liked the comparison from the jump and when Illmatic dropped:sas2:

Oh well I always had G Rap as the god mc:sas1:
Yeah I always felt like Ra never liked Nas. Whenever they bring him up in interviews Ra is like yeah Nas is dope but never gets excited or goes out of his way to give him props. I'm sure his people were in his ear when Nas dropped calling him a clone or whatever.

Yeah there's an interview out there where they asked Ra about it and he said he wasn't feeling how Nas mumbled the end of his catalog at the end like the Master album and all that.
The real story is he originally said he was feeling the track then flip flopped.

Hate to break it to y'all but Rakim is a difficult and bitter dude. He really let that God mc shyt go to his head. Seen him live twice and he was bytching about the sound while everyone else killed it...

Because was Rakim was popping and Nas dropped illmatic hip hop heads started calling Nas the one. Rakim slowly started fading away even though he was dropping dope shyt and still had skills but everyone forgot about him because all the attention was on Nas
