A mans skill level isnt determined by the impact he's made. Black Thought and the Roots collectively, their time will come. But dont tell me that Black Thought wont crush Nas, just because he aint considered one of the top ten MC's ever by BET or the Source. It all goes back to Skill.

Ok and thats all good, but Nas could have gave his "opinion" without disrespectin Black Thought directly, and the rest of the crew. If the man would have simply said... "I didnt appreciate the Roots being involved" or somethin to that effect it would be another story. But this man got on the radio talkin big shit like he got somethin personal against them. Its not like Flex asked him about the Roots. Nas was obviously determined to get a word in about the Roots before he left... probably had that shit on a Note in his pocket. If Nas was the mature cat he claims to be, he would have contacted The Roots and/or Black Thought directly before comin out his mouth like that.

Thats your opinion, but the roots werent jumpin around stage screamin fuck Nas. They were doin thier thing, and thier thing is doin HOT shows. They made the show HOT, PERIOD. What about everyone in the audience singin along? Fuck them too? Shit if i was there i'd be singin along too. Nas is a great writer, but he's also a chump.
