I dare say you're older (or that much older) than I. Perhaps you're just not cool

. "Anem"=and them. Hence, "because my manz anem do their research"=my boy Nas and them do their research. And, you're especially not cool with that foul mouth of yours...what's up with that?!
Now, you sound like Jigga's publicist--I see your points, though. For the sake of argument, Nas only got the best of Jay Z (not because of what he said) but because of what he did. He put out a hot album and proved his nay sayers wrong---many people are feeling Stillmatic more than Blueprint. I only listen to two songs on Blueprint..."Takeover" and "Renegade." I only listen to "Renegade" because of Eminem (anem...lol)...Jay Z's flow was awkward and weak for that beat and song...but like Jay said "the sun don't shine, the sun don't shine."
Who has seen the From Illmatic to Stillmatic Tour???
