Maaaan. Why does it seem like the world is closing in on Nas nowadays. First his divorce from Kelis. Then we find he owes MILLIONS in taxes. Raekwon speaks about him not reaching out for OBCL2. And now Nas’ mentor(and idol)is displeased with him.

Everytime I google dude to see if I can get more info on the upcoming ‘Distant Relatives(really the ONLY thing I concerned with regarding Nas)I just get more bad new regarding him. I hope things turn out better for him.

And on another note. Like many here stated, the two already did an interview together and the question was asked what Ra felt about it. And he stated then that he had mixed feelings about it, but all in all he was honored(guess he was bitting his tongue as not to spark tension, which is understandable).

But what I don’t understand is how he expects Nas to call him after all these years and ask what he thought about the track when that was already done in the interview. The two even dapped hands and Nas thanked Ra for understanding. So im confused…….

Rakim is a fucking bitter liar. They both did the “Classic” video since that song, and the MTV interview were they both sat down together. Rakim was even asked about the song when Nas was right next to him and he said he liked it. Just like Bumpy Knuckles said years ago, this guy has always been jealous of Nas, and he was hating on him from the start. It’s sad because this idiot is his favorite rapper, and Nas has shown this dude nothing but love. Rakim isn’t even the only one, a lot of these old rappers are funny.

Info I agree 100, Nas is an artist that pushes the envelop, I mean he gets caught up in his own world and never looks back,…hell at the end of that track he even says; next “Unauthorized Biography Of Krs-One”…and he never delivered it.
The Man is an artist, he paints us pictures, I have no Idea why Ra would take offense to it….I mean as a pioneer of this Rap shit, the nigga will be studied & books will be written about him, some from an Independent angle. Nas just cast the 1st stone; 50 years from now there will be plenty more. I mean you think Oliver Stone called Nixon, JFK or GW for those movies he did about them? Hell Nah…Yo Ra ‘off that’

On the Side Note, Rakim still is the man, people never bring him up when they talk about the greats

Everyone mentioning the MTV interview, did you read it? It comes off like they weren’t talking to each other but to Sway, like Sway made them come together. Check out what Nas says:

Nas: Thanks, man. I always wanted to know how you felt about that, ’cause if somebody made a song talking about me and stuff like that, I wouldn’t know how to react.

That sounds like Nas still didn’t reach out to Ra and Nas expresses the same feelings about another artist putting out an unautorized biography on Nas.

RAKIM IS STUPID FOR THIS ONE! THIS MAKES HIM LOOK PHONY AND LIKE A COWARD…WHY DIDN’T HE EXPRESS THIS TO NAS FACE DURING THE MTV INTERVIEW1 WHY DIDN’T HE EXPRESS THIS DURING HIS PERFORMANCE AT THE HIP HOP HONORS SHOW A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN HE PERFORMED A SONG COMPLIMENTING AND ACKNOWLEDGING NAS’ SONG IN HONOR OF HIM STATING:”I’M GONE TO PICK UP MY STORY WHERE NAS LEFT OFF!” NOW 5 YEARS LATER…AND AT THE EXACT SAME TIME HE HAS A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT…HE SO HAPPENS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NAS’ SONGS! WOW…HIP HOP IS A JOKE AND RAKIM JUST MADE HIMSELF LOOK LIKE THE BIGGEST JOKE FOR THIS STUNT!!!

A lot of these rappers have bad manners. Highlight of the week: watching super-disrepectful rapper Joe Budden talk about how Jay-Z disrespected him re: the “Pump It Up” beat.
