see here's my thing, and i think this is what black thought is feelin. basically nas has no stance to say that the roots are fake rappers or anything besides the whole jay z thing. i'm not saying that since they did the jayz thing they are fake, but that's about the only point that nas can go with. so, why doesn't nas stick to that point and go with it? only because if he did, it would be questioned just as much as it has been on these boards. so to give his arguement more "substance" (as shaky as it was) he takes blows at them for events that occured 7 years ago and a hair style of the lead vocalist that was also said goodbye to nearly 2 years ago. i don't know, i felt nas was stretchin on a lot of his points.
my question is, does nas forget that he did oochie wally? and did he forget that it really was a crappy song? if he has beef about the jayz unplugged thing (which seems like the only credible thing he could actually be mad about) then say that, he beat around the bush and made blind jabs at the vocalist and the band as a whole, without much substancial evidence.
you might think his complaint about the what they do video has cred, but think again. if he was upset about mob deep and biggy, then address that when it happened....7 YEARS AGO. don't come out and whine about it after they do an unplugged with someone you currently have a beef with.
that's my opinion. peace w/love dave
