37870, how is he staying true to himself though?

before i get to him, i'll compare 2 of his partners in crime

Dave Chappelle: 50 million dollars wasnt enough for him to go against what was in his heart

Mos Def: did movies and hosted def poetry jam to get money, when it came time for his sophomore release he went left but he didnt water himself down

Talib Kweli: his attitude is like Cartman on South Park 'WHAT-EVA, I do what I want!'

To my knowledge Nas is the only one that can wear 7 different type of rapper hats and make you at least curious to see what his next album will sound like
