Look at this COONERY!! Why melo look like a fucking clown? Nas know these dudes aint his fucking friends…
I guess you get to a certain point and just throw in the towel..You trade principles for accomplishments and bite our tongue on a lot in the name of personal progress..I’m cool with Nas doing that but again WE DONT KNOW WHO JAZZY IS he didnt cross over for the sake of making money he sold his soul because thats what he thought he needed to do in order for massa to accept him..
I understand that but that dont mean I have to respect it..

yeah nas is a small fry compared to jay :they say Jay is like 6’3”; look at Carmelo Anthony compared to all of them he looks mammoth hes only 6’9” could be the angle of the pics too lol He still looks really happy (as of recent) and dress to the part as well. lol the satin blazer and casino glasses=timeless lol
Basically, No baby mother drama, in a great creative space and label budget=good times for nas lol
keep it going fellow virgo!

@uptopdon, hahaha, 5’11 was just an estimation just by looking at him standing head to head with Mike Tyson n hes 5’10. 5-8 with double-X-L pen saggin’ blunts draggin’ cld be interpreted to mean anything, clearly dat dude got dem lyrics wrong hence his misinterpretation. Lol @ Bleek but seriously wat d heck happened to dat nigga n the rest of th roc fam? guess jay left them to dry cos he aint gaining nothing from keeping them around.

Damn Aneka, previously I believe u actually WERE a braveheart but u debunked my whole theory on that by not even knowing ya man Nas’ height (as shown uptop lmao)
& u right Jungle & them was in there holding cameras & taking pics for legends! Thats suitable!
Meanwhile Bleek…….Jay Z made him dress in a bow tie & hand out paper towels to all the legends who finished taking a shit in the bathroom!

Hey @Uptop
True indeed, LOL. Shout to Zoe and her Avatar money. She reps Corona, Queens, so you know, might’ve known some dudes from Queensbridge and Lefrak while growing up, reason why she might’ve been invited to the dinner. Speculating the connection, because she appears random out of nowhere in Nas’ dinner cipher, lol.

Nas & Jay on the same room. Is always a good thing.

Nas is a better man than me. I dont give a fuck, if i was Nas, J would not be at my party. They could do business together, but bday? Nah son.

Interesting point. I don’t know how Nas got over Jay’s line: “Left condoms on your baby’s car seat..” because the affair did go down like that. That baby seat line is perhaps the most personal and subtle vicious diss recorded in rap history. Nas is a good dude to forgive Jay.

Hahaha, why wld Nas hold a grudge abt Jay messing with his sloppy seconds, same for AI, wat part of the game is that? u must be a sheep if u think Jays lines was hw it went down, U really think he left condoms in Nas Bently like he ever had access to it. wat baby’s seat?

Hahahahahaha @ AZ jab. *dead* Is the nigga valet parking whips these days? Consequence couldn’t even reach AZ’s level of raps, AZ is finally a legend in raps. A quiet legend among his peers. Memo to Cons: Record one album like “Doe or Die” and shut the fuck up about Kanye already.
