Maybe Nas isn't moved to make art with Pete- no matter how it would sell.

Don't get me wrong, I *wish* he would make a Pete album.


But if we respect these rappers as artists, why do we want them to think like they have to sell units?

I'm not big on Nas these days. But I assume you agree that he is a dope artist to say the least.

I don't know many dope artists who think about what people want when they make their art.

Thats more of the Puffy lane. "How can I get my shit to sell/stream"?
