Good Point : The Roots did contradict themselves by making the What They Do video, and then working with Jay Z.

Contradiction: Nas straight up sold out with "I Am" and "Nastradamus". He went commercial, but he slanders it in the interview.

Good Point : He wants rappers to help stop the violence on the street, instead of making dangerous ghetto glorification.

Contradiction : If you keep on talking about guns and violent street incidents, even if it's from a third person point of view...it still will influence the listeners.

Good Point : Nas wants the scope of hip hop to change to better music quality.

Contradiction : There is none....he put out Stillmatic. Need i say more?

And by the way....the Roots must respond to this. Or else they'll look like the biggest sissies to step into the rap game.
