but how did they "do exactly what they were opposed to"?
they said "never do what they do". the song is about NOT FOLLOWING TRENDS. the roots crew would only contradict that song if they completed changed their *musical style*. Working with Jay Z on an Unplugged special isn't a trend, they're the only ones to ever do it! LOL! Y'all kill me...
And Nas acting like The Roots are anti-champagne shows that his ass must have stopped listening to hip-hop records in 96, because on the same album "What They Do" is on, Thought refers to himself as "The Land whipper, the cham(pagne) sipper", so how the fuck did Nas think Thought and the gang were anti-champagne? "And then they go and make a record with the king of champagne sipping". Sure, why not? They probably sipped champagne with Jay in the club before Unplugged even happened...lol.
Nas is all confused, man. Like how Nas went from "As far as Gods, Nas ain't believing none of that shit" to have GOD'S SON tatted on his belly. Dude is all confused....and he's calling The Roots hypocrites? I don't get it, man....clean your own house...
