Nas shouts out Trag in the Illmatic documentary. I think that's what he was referring too.

Yeah, it was really well done. Would love for the same crew to put together a doc for IWW or the I Am bootleg/Lost Tapes.

trag said nas gave it up to him publicly and thats all he ever wanted

only time i remember nas mentioning trag was on surviving the times and it really wasn't praise like that so idk

trag knew nas since nas was a kid....and nas dated trag sister

At 16 Tragedy was convicted of robbery and sent to Elmira Correctional Facility. He became a Five Percenter up north, and upon his release his music took a mindful turn reflecting that conversion. He changed his name to Intelligent Hoodlum. By then a new wunderkind had surfaced. “They’re like, ‘This nikka Nas.’ When I saw him, I was like, ‘This dude?’ He was my sister’s boyfriend,” Tragedy says. “He would be around me, but I didn’t know he could rhyme because he never said a rhyme around me. He would be watching. He might be around my sister, I might be in my room with a beat tape writing. I never paid attention to them because I was in my own zone.”

The Bridge Is Over

Trag with his sis, Erin

Erin @ nas 40th birthday party

...the petty beef with them started because Trag was jealous and felt he should be, career wise where Nas was at. Then he got mad for Nas naming his album "Illmatic" and tried to claim the origin of the word






when Nas always said he got the term from friend/QB legend, Illmatic Ice

In turn I can hear LL Cool J's influence on Trag.

Ahhh so that's Erin lol

Was wondering what she looked like

There was a crew or a rap group in the bridge back in the days called "the illmatics" from what I heard

I think the illmatic phrase/tag was just some common QB'ism

Mega definitely is not a tall guy...he's about 5'6...if anything maybe smaller...I seen the dude and talked to him before and everything.

Cormega is 5'8-5'9, same height as Nas and AZ. They're average height dudes.

Nah stood next to him personally, I don't see 5'9.

I'm only saying this because my brother is 5'7 and he seemed shorter than him even. It's just my opinion from almost &20 years ago tho

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

ehh. I know people are gonna ride for prodigy cuz hes the rapper and all, but after finding out the skinny on this, I wouldn't let him have a mural in my hood either if I was ole boy.

it aint like they went & pissed on his grave or anything.

It's cool. I believe you breh.

Always assumed he was at least average sized.

The Mobb was legit midgets though.

I believe they both like 5'1, 5'2.

Edit: Just checked, P was 5'6. Always thought he was shorter.

Also just found out a lot of my favorite rappers are tiny nikkas

most of the industry is like 5'6.

with that said, mob deep being around 5'2 sounds more accurate.

Dog, that was years and you said you're 6'1, in your picture you look a solid 4-5 inches taller. Nas is 5'8 and looks around the same height as Mega. Cormega is around 5'8-5'9. This is him next to Styles P who is 5'6

Ok you've convinced yourself then

You're basing your observations on pictures, where you have dudes standing further away from one another, a few blading their shoulders and standing sideways and huntched over, who knows if any of them are wearing sandals, J's or Timbs...

I stood next to him, IMO he was an easy half a foot shorter. I was 5'10 in HS and he definitely did not seem near that height.

From what I can tell he's a solid 5'5-5'7 tops


Another poster saw him perform with mobb and believe that he was about as tall as they were...the people who have seen him in person say different from what you're saying

They not the same height. P is around 5'6 and Havoc is around 5'3.
