Yo, I am hurting right now. Nas is my favorite rapper. All yall can say what you want but those from the hood can not front on his depictions of ghetto lifestyle and feelings. Anyone who ever looked out of a project window or sat on the stoop, can feel me. But I am a philly 5-6er and Riq is my man. I spent countless hours in '92 arguing that he is the truth and that one day yall will realize it when we don't speak anymore. And you know how many of those cats I run into and say I was right. Even power 99 know I am right with the best of the Roots last friday. Riq is a master of ceremonies in all sense of the words. Nas is a story teller\prophet like the old tribe soothesayer. Why don't we all wait and see what beef he has? Don't speculate and insite some beef between two respected and talented lyricist. Nas may just be offended and needs to get shit off his chest. How would you feel if the world came at you all at once? Jay spearheaded an all out assault on my man like he bitch slapped his mom. Nas is just picking up the ashes. Anyone who has ever been rolled on knows that when it is over you want revenge on everyone involved even those who may not have thrown a blow but you see them as being part of it. Nas just probably wants to know why? Y'all act as if he has already released his album "Fuck Riq and Quest" and that isn't the case. Boy, we call ourselves okayplayas but lately yall been a bunch of okay-executioners.
NOW DON'T NOBODY SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE ROOTS...OR COMMON...OR DIALATED!!!!
Damn, Yall have a twisted out look of the world and the hood menatlity. Which is what yall forgetting a majority of the people in hip\hop from CEOs to hype men have.
I said my piece, PEACE! I mean that shit.
PS. Phattest shit I ever heard was roots cover "one love".
Yo! Check me out on the internet music section under hip\hop on www.uponthat.com.
