Nas wasnt criticizing them for doing the role itself, he was in a sense giving them props for doing the role is the grand scheme of the movie-- but hes saying that they turned around after the MOVIE and played the somewhat played the part in real life.... okayplayers really blew this outta poportion, people talk about these types of subjects all the time but never have the courage to call people out by their names. i think his calling the roots out is a good thing because it allows for dialouge of substance on a particular subject/group, not generalization ('rappers')of people and what they talk about.. its kinda like delores tucker saying 'rappers' need to stop calling women bitches, what 'rapper'? when? whats the text? and then deal with it....

okayplayers need to quit jocking the roots cause they the 'roots'and in essence giving them a pass for anything they say or do they maybe wrong... and i'm not saying they are wrong, but its like the people who think everything Jay-Z does is just the best, every song, every lyric, etc. when that cant always be the case
