133. "RE: to IamHipHop and anyone else" In response to In response to 130
"As far as the Nas Statements, You Know the Saying," (opinions are Just Like an asshole, everybody's got one!) " You make that quite clear!
"And I agree, when "what they do" came out, THEY WERE MAKING A DIRECT STATEMENT at rappers who are in it for the "BLING BLING" They were making a statment about rappers being so cliche with their videos, never did they put emphasis on any rapper yo! (BTW, the director edited the video in a way that the Roots felt wasnt right exactly to their liking, not like they have that much sawy to have had it re-edited {go to ?uest's faqs area, he goes into the whole "we werent trying to single out any rappers in that video"} )
"and later do exactly what they were supposedly opposed to when making the song so it seems quite contradictory!" What did they exactly do? They were the backing band! I dont recall seeing them holding up flutes of Crystal up over their heads!!
