I liked Thought's, "I'm a grown man," retaliation. I got a *guffaw* out of it.
However, I do think Thought should have more confidently represented the fam's decision to go onstage with Jay-Z.
He shifted the blame for the outcome of the "What They Do" video from the Roots to the director. Which may all be true, but what's done is done, and you can't blame anyone for making you sit on a bed with a Faith-esque big titty model behind you holding champagne glasses.
It ain't like he didn't KNOW what video that was from. Nobody is that oblivious. I don't care what the lighting was like.
All he had to explain was WHY the Roots chose to make the video, and that would have sufficed.
Also, he made it abundantly clear that he was not there for the Jay-Z Unplugged performance, so the issues Nas has shouldn't really be with him.
Personally, I think ?uestlove would have been the best person to speak to Flex in this situation.
After hearing all of the audio, I don't think a dis record is really in order, unless Nas references the Roots in his rhymes.
