Also, most people forget that Jay-Z stole that beef with Nas from Memphis Bleek. Bleek was the first to attack NAS and call him out. But where's Bleek? The little one knew he didn't have what it took to test Nasir, so all of a sudden Jay-Z has a takeover??
Let's remember no one was hearing Jiggaman when he fist came out. Where's that "hawaiian Sophie" tape at, for real. Only when he switched his game up and started imitating the flow of others did he really catch attention. From the day he stepped onto "Live at the Barbecue" Nas's name was forever on the lips of everyone. Even on mis-steps Nas has always had some of the best lyrics and deepest stuff to say.
Most people don't get "Ether" because they had to go look the word up in the first place. Now when last a rapper made you do that? Dang, people still don't see the double entendre in the title, and most can't get past a beat to really see how well crafted the lyrics were--- and how TRUE they were.
Lastly, let me say, Nasir Ben Olu Dara Jones is the
ILLEST! ha!
