What kills me is that the media or the fans have never held Jay to the same ridiculous standards they hold Nas too. Everybody is fiending for Nas to make Illmatic again. But nobody ever says that Jay has to make Reasonable Doubt or The Blueprint again. Its those inconsistencies that frustrates you as a Nas fan even if you're a big fan of Jay as well. Glad this channel always gives balanced perspectives and keeps it 💯
It's definitely something personal for Vlad when it comes to Nas. He also realized that he gets huge clicks when he's bashing Nas so he keeps going with the fake agenda. I'm also sure TK hasn't heard KD 2 yet either. Vlad clearly paid him to say that about KD2. Nas must have refused to do an interview on Vlad tv around LIG era and Vlad hasn't forgiven him for it. Guys this is also the same clown that said Pac was alive when ether came out. Let that sink in.🤣🤣🤣
He has some grimey ass songs though. But as he got older you see the level of maturity. "You Owe Me" to me was his worst song. "You Won't See Me Tonight" I didn't really like this one either but Alliyah was a good feature and Timbo on the beat. I think you need to study the artist more before you comment like this...

Media never liked Nas, duh Politics as usual lol it’s a part of Hip-Hop world/audience that just can’t come to accept Nas is Goat and they don’t wanna give it to him. It’s called narrative building, started since 1996 like Coop said.
It's always been a weird thing to me. I Am was around the time that I really started listening to rap albums on my own and understanding lyrics and everything and I remember the reviews for that album all being about how great Illmatic was and how It Was Written and everything else fail to follow up. I was a kid reading all of the magazines at that time, The Source, Rap Pages, XXL, Vibe, and this was always the same narrative. I was listening to stuff like Undying Love or Nas is Like and having my young mind blown. I would see praise for other artists that I thought were not as good as what I was hearing from Nas but it was like he was always getting judged on a different scale than everybody else. I hate to bring up Jay but I remember Blaze Magazine having a 50 top MC's list that was kind of making a lot of buzz in New York and Jay Z was like in the top five, off of the strength of Vol. 2 and way before The Blueprint, while Nas was barely in the top 10 or 15 or something with Illmatic under his belt, and I couldn't understand it. I used to wonder if they knew something I couldn't understand or heard something I didn't yet.
@@dillbert4084 Back in those 90s it was all politics & positioning. Some artist played ball some didn’t, NAS was one of them that didn’t play ball and they didn’t like it and never forgave him for it. Luckily Nas talent is immense so they couldn’t completely get rid of him. It’s all there documented to be viewed.
VLAD has been doing this.. nas authentic, he made righteous music and he wasn't the typical wool beanie conscious guy. He made it look cool AND WOMEN LOVED HIM WITHOUT HIM EVEN TRYING TO REACH THAT DEMOGRAPHIC. That will never happen again. There will never be another Nas. I think Vlad hates that fact
@Franky Baby -So True, and thee main reason for this is because they as in lyricist rely more so on their great word-play than great beats. But you can have both, no lies.
@@coopc97 -Yes very much so true, and the main reason that great lyricist have bad beats more than average is this. Thee great lyricist have much better word-play than beats as a whole, and this is why they rely on great lyricism more so than great beats. A whole lot of times their great lyricism over-shadows their bad beats or at least nullify them down and out.
No matter what Nas does, he'll always have that group that only want Premo, Large, Salami Remi, and Pete Rock beats. Personally, I feel like Hit Boy has been doing a great job.
@@AllTheThings_Coop the difference is Illmatic had 5 producers, Hit Boy was responsible for 2 entire projects that show Nas' maturity, longevity and ability to remain fresh
I was wondering how nobody noticed that Vlad always has Nas’ name in his mouth when Nas is down (as far as public opinion). But when Nas is winning in life, music , entertainment, entrepreneurship, investment and inspiring others, he says nothing. Fucking Vlad
You would think that Nas smashed Vlad's chick the way he is obsessed with Nas. I mean...in what Godfrey interview would Nas need to come up as a topic for beat picking??? Smh
I too am a fan of both Nas and Jay. I never got the whole "Jay-Z is consistent" narrative. Jay hasn't been consistent since Black Album. He came out of Retirement with Kingdom Come and it was critical panned and a disappointment. Then he redeemed himself with American Gangster. Then fell off again with Blueprint 3 and fell even lower with Magna Carta Holy Grail. He came back with 4:44 and everyone is treating it like it's his first album since American Gangster. Even if you check his metascores, it reflects the up and down of his albums quality between Black Album and 4:44 Kingdom Come: 67 American Gangster: 83 The Blueprint 3: 65 Magna Carta Holy Grail: 60
It’s all about Nas doing a interesting with Vlad back in the day. Vlad is a culture vulture that lacks knowledge in real hip hop. He just a Jerry springer with all the gossip.
I'm a Nas fan, hardcore and I confess I do not prefer Jay Z but I also recognize his pen game as potent. I guess the difference of choice for me between the two comes in subject matter they usually cover in their raps than it is about flow and bars. I love conscious Nas, I picked him for his "woke" approach to rhyme-writing. You cannot listen to songs like Poison, Ghetto Prisoners, My Enemy Tomorrow, No Idea's Original, Last Words etc and not admit that he left you contemplate life and morality.
Why do you even bother talking about Vlad, I mean it's a waste of quality time. That guy is the equivalent of pitchfork review. Pure hate and clout chasing.
I hate that Vlad started the whole "Nas is Hip Hop's worst beat picker." It's like Vladimir forgets that Nas started the whole get all the hottest producers to be on your album trend with his debut and that Nas rapped on the beats for "NY State of Mind", "the world is yours", "Nas is like", and "made you look".
Vlad doesn't like how Nas keeps Pro Blackness and knowledge in his music he will only give credit to Illmatic. As Nas grows as a man and An artist who uplifts the community with knowledge Vlad takes offense as opposed to Jay-z whose lyrics are pretty empty for the most part of his career. Pay attention to Vlad and what he promotes! It all makes sense now 🤔 he'll blame it on the beats but it's really the knowledge that Nas kicks that he has a problem with 🤷🏾♂️
Man another dude that throws shade at Nas for some reason is ISH from the Joe Budden Podcast. He randomly through hate at Nas one episode, I was watching on UA-cam. For some reason, Nas gets under alot of dudes skin. Jay z fans in particular have never been able to forgive Nas because of Ether.
Ether hurts a lot........ You seem to be only concerned with dissing women Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly? Well life is hard, hug me, don't reject me Or make records to disrespect me, blatant or indirectly. Those are some of the most disrespectful bars ever. You talk about the patronizong feel of those lyrics. Every time I hear them it makes me feel uneasy. Lol
It's the jayz stans that can't get over it. Some of us are fans of both Nas and jay. Ish is definitely bugging saying Kanye and Drake are higher than Nas as all time rappers.
If you listen to Nastradamus right now you’ll see that it was far from trash or weak it was just not fitting for the times of the sound of hip hop at the time. It’s some very creative and dope songs on there.
the irony of vol. 3 & nastrodamous is that they came out the same year. Also this is where they started the beef. Jay had Come and get me & Nas has a Come and get me.... Nas version is way better though..... Once big died and on I am, Nas did we will still survive, they've been throwing subliminals ever since until the direct shots at each other.
@Unknown Name lol i was just about to comment that after reading the initial post. That shit went all the way back to 96 when Nas refused to be on the nigga debut then refused to be in the video.
I didn’t even bother watching that interview I definitely saw it scrolling on UA-cam The album is hot as fish grease Nas and hit boy together or absolute magic
i personally think nas told his circle not to do any vlad interviews and vlad caught wind of it or something. TK on the other hand is an old head who thinks anything Nas that doesn’t sound like illmatic isn’t good. im sure he didn’t appreciate beats like 40 side and YKTV. and btw, Blueprint 2 is Jay Zs worst album
@@eyeswidevideo but is salaam and large professor really his in his close circle? i thought of that too but idk. maybe after their interviews is when Nas put the request out lol
Nice new album is a classic especially he got my my girl Lauryn Hill up there so you already know what time it is. It seems like Vlad has it out for Nas for some reason I don't know but I stopped f****** with vlad months ago maybe a year or two ago when he he went against the grain and lied on on Minister Farrakhan we can't have that
Vlad recently tried making his point by saying “name one song that Nas has made that’s better than NY State of Mind”. The answer to that question is simple. Name one record that any artist ever in the history of hip-hop has made that’s better than NY State of Mind. It might well be the greatest hip-hop record ever made. Personally I think that Nas has a few better records but the bar for Nas according to Vlad is “well he made the best song ever and hasn’t beat it since”, completely forgetting that well nobody else has beat it either.
Y’all don’t forget Vlad said “Hard Knock Life” is a banger too along with “Crazy in Love.” Of all the actual bangers he could have mentioned…I died! 🤣💀 Vlad clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about, and he is just hating on Nas because he never acknowledged him!
The most consistent guys in the hip hop game been studying nas... Jay consistent with selling out but nas stayed consistent with the culture , Alot of Africans are amazed at how nas could relate usjng samples from very traditional sounds was spot on deliberate... Alot didnt understand nas was communicating ahead of time while alot was just focus on creating a mainstream club banger ... Distant relative collaboration was so underated... Thats the greatest collaboration between blacks from across ... Vlad cant comprehend that , alot of people cant
Yea Jay Z is so much more consistent, He dropped 4:44 in 2017, since then Nas dropped 3 Albums, 1 Ep, got a Grammy, album of the year, and probably will get another Grammy.
Nas doesn't gaf... That's why it bothers Vlad... Nas doesn't give him the energy.. he doesn't deserve it.. Nas is his own man.. stands on his own.. from day one.... No acknowledgement needed from Vlad... respect to y'all for calling that bullshit out... Cancel Vlad Fyi. nastradamus was not trash
DAMN!! I just made a comment in 1 of the music groups I'm a member off about this same topic. What's Vlad's problem with Nas. I couldn't agree with you more. It doesn't matter whom he's interviewing, he somehow finds a way to bring up Nas name in a negative aspect or shall I say, SLICK HATIN. He could be interviewing Pattie Labelle & he'll find a way to bring up Nas name. Something stupid like, Pattie you & Michael McDonald brought out the BEST in each other. That's when you know you are a GREAT artist. When Nas collaborated with Phil Collins. It was ehhh blah blah. Nas couldn't get on the level Phil is on. Phil couldn't make Nas look goog or bring out the best in Nas. Because Nas is not like a Jay Z. etc. 😂🤣 Dude has a SERIOUS HARD on for Nas, it seems to me.
ur so right u can imagine when Nas featured Eminem the next thing u hear the Stan's say is Eminem verse is better than Nas which it wasn't they just can't help it
@@malikmogekwu9781 Nas my #1, but Em did have a better verse. So did Lauryn. So did Rocky. Nas worst verse on Magic is opposite Rocky. Nas plays pg for most features.
@@jayyarbrough9902 no he didn't have better every bodies verse was good nobody can say Eminem verse was better with a straight face one love my brother
It’s clearly because the god Nas stands for true black culture and focus on uplifting his people while also telling the truth speaking about the way his people are treated in this country. And when you to that and go against the systems there would be a target on your back by even your own people who are really sellouts
Magna Carter had Nickels & Dimes and Part II. Those were the 2 moments. I bought a Jay album (Vol 3) before i bought a Nas album as a kid. Vol 3 was good. I'm a fan of both but Nas my favourite rapper
Nas has never blighted and jinxed himself by doing a podcast or sit down to be interviewed by Vlad. Nas is from the projects We definitely know how to stay away from dem JUMBIE MAN FULL OF BAD VIBES fire 🔥 bun all the wicked ⚔️
You touched on the issue, Jay has always had a better delivery than Nas. His catalog was better, but he has never been a good storyteller. He talks about the same things and it gets boring. I appreciated his diversity with Coming of Age.
Jay have more recognizable songs jay have more popularity than nas and jay is a bigger artist jay got lyrics for years but as a superior mc and lyricist nas win that hand down nas las five albums proven it plus nas doesn’t embrace the mainstream like jay did
He’s one of those hip hop media members/fans that has to attack Nas no matter what so that Jay-Z is the goat or better than him. They wanna keep that narrative going. So no matter what Nas does they’ll always discredit it. I truly believe they aren’t honest. They have an agenda.
then he gave kd3 that junk ishard then magic 3 justas hard. them 3rd/closing projects of thetwo nas sagas were as amazing as his run has been. thisll be remembered 100 yearsfrom now . nas's crazy run in the early 2020s
Nas's first 5 albums were mostly produced by trackmasters minus (illmatic) which were all classic s in my opinion. When Nas stopped working with trackmasters his beats took a hit. But SO what dude gave us 5 classics and now is working with Hit-Boy so Vlad needs to shut his pie-hole!!
Vlad hates that Nas gets at his kind in his music. The music he likes most times has very lil substance. I know a couple folks who are of vlad's kind and they don't like conscious MC's. They like destructive music from us.
The same problem vlad has with Farrakhan. He trashes nas’s beats but always bigs up every Eminem album. He said black thought couldn’t rhyme like that. Racist
Nastradamus- life we chose...some of us have angels..project windows...come and get me...last words..family..shoot em up....nastradamus had bangers on it...nastradamus, you owe me, was lame but still a ok album...nastradamus arguably nas's worst album and is better than alot of rappers best album...if you just strip the beats and just focus on nas pen n lyrical content off nastradamus..u can tell he's in a class of his own
You can see Vlad enjoys to hear people talk negative about Nas, this man has never spoke anything positive about Nas, whenever he mentions him on his channel it's always something negative
Yea. The MC Serch interview confirmed everything we need to know about Vlad. That idiot was speechless when Serch kept praising Nas for his artistry and business acumen while low-key shitting on jayz. Vlad definitely wasn't happy about that Serch interview.
Disappointment this was a video about Nas and Jay dominated the conversation but… whatever. KD1 and KD2 are classics coming with KD3 for the three-peat!!!!!!!
Nas THE best to ever do it , maybe hes a Jay z fan and cant take the L or Nas didnt want to do a interview with him. Jay have never done a album as Good as nas worst.
"Some say hatin' is confused admiration"

Nas has been out performing jay the last decade. And thats facts
Lol shutup. After 1999 nas couldn’t touch jay in any way shape or form.
@@TheBizBoutique until 2001 and stillmatic released lol
Agreed
Even if Nas isn't it's still Nas. Nas is like prince and Michael Jackson rolled into one
Raises hand. When jay said the son revolves around the earth he could have been talking About him self
Nas never sold his soul , nas uplifting women and men so thats the media don't like him
Yeah kind of did remember his song “you the man” 2nd verse but he is trying to uplift the people for the best
So true
He has some grimey ass songs though. But as he got older you see the level of maturity. "You Owe Me" to me was his worst song.

Vol.1 classic
KD II is miles ahead of 4:44
I can respect this channel. I can respect the integrity and balance too 💯
They're just two different men and artists
#salute
Magna Carta was hard af...Vlad is a vulture, KD & KD2 are hard af!!. I love yall Brothers!!
I'm still tryna figure out why what Vlad says matters to anybody🤷♂️
yup
the irony of vol. 3 & nastrodamous is that they came out the same year. Also this is where they started the beef. Jay had Come and get me & Nas has a Come and get me.... Nas version is way better though.....
Once big died and on I am, Nas did we will still survive, they've been throwing subliminals ever since until the direct shots at each other.
@Unknown Name Big facts! You a real one for knowing that! Respect!✊🏾
@Unknown Name lol i was just about to comment that after reading the initial post. That shit went all the way back to 96 when Nas refused to be on the nigga debut then refused to be in the video.
New York State of Mind Part 2 there was a shot at Jay also. " Fuck u we run you out of NY, You can't live"
@Unknown Name I forgot about that
@@emsee7602 I didn't know that
Can't mess with NAS
I didn’t even bother watching that interview I definitely saw it scrolling on UA-cam
The album is hot as fish grease Nas and hit boy together or absolute magic
Vladimir is Weak
i personally think nas told his circle not to do any vlad interviews and vlad caught wind of it or something. TK on the other hand is an old head who thinks anything Nas that doesn’t sound like illmatic isn’t good. im sure he didn’t appreciate beats like 40 side and YKTV. and btw, Blueprint 2 is Jay Zs worst album
All facts
Tk is just jumping on the bandwagon.
@@eyeswidevideo but is salaam and large professor really his in his close circle? i thought of that too but idk. maybe after their interviews is when Nas put the request out lol
Nice new album is a classic especially he got my my girl Lauryn Hill up there so you already know what time it is. It seems like Vlad has it out for Nas for some reason I don't know but I stopped f****** with vlad months ago maybe a year or two ago when he he went against the grain and lied on on Minister Farrakhan we can't have that
God son was good album I am was good album it was written classic album my favorite illmatic was great stillmatic great great albums Nas is a goat 🐐
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 That’s why Vlad and the media owned by Js doesn’t like Nas bc of the knowledge of self from NOI and his respect for the minister.
Vlad recently tried making his point by saying “name one song that Nas has made that’s better than NY State of Mind”.
The answer to that question is simple. Name one record that any artist ever in the history of hip-hop has made that’s better than NY State of Mind. It might well be the greatest hip-hop record ever made.
Personally I think that Nas has a few better records but the bar for Nas according to Vlad is “well he made the best song ever and hasn’t beat it since”, completely forgetting that well nobody else has beat it either.
Y’all don’t forget Vlad said “Hard Knock Life” is a banger too along with “Crazy in Love.” Of all the actual bangers he could have mentioned…I died! 🤣💀 Vlad clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about, and he is just hating on Nas because he never acknowledged him!
It’s because Nas has NEVER cared for Vlad and has never cared to give that clown the time nor day for an interview 😂!
Same thing with Eminem and honestly besides NAS Eminem is probably at the top that’s been a target point on VLAD that has been very confusing
Ice cube …
Nas is the Greatest period🔥🔥
He definitely is.
He is definitely up there but don't forget about the greats like Rakim, BDK, KRS1, Kool G Rap
Haters hate. You'll speaking the truth and I'm a new subscriber now.
The most consistent guys in the hip hop game been studying nas... Jay consistent with selling out but nas stayed consistent with the culture , Alot of Africans are amazed at how nas could relate usjng samples from very traditional sounds was spot on deliberate... Alot didnt understand nas was communicating ahead of time while alot was just focus on creating a mainstream club banger ... Distant relative collaboration was so underated... Thats the greatest collaboration between blacks from across ... Vlad cant comprehend that , alot of people cant
Owe me > Crazy in Love. Jay would lose a Versuz against Nas
Lol when ppl say nas was inconsistent. They obviously mean in his prime
Upgrade You is definitely Hov's best collab with Beyonce
Excellent channel coverage & content
Good title I noticed that 2 it’s like vlad gets off “pause” talkin bout esco
Lol Nas must've turned down an interview & hurt vlad's feelings...he'll never say any of that to his face.
Love the objectiveness shown on here....NEW SUB!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Vlad just b mad that He cant get that Nas interview.
He want to do an interview with Nas,Nas turn down his request he got mad with Nas.
Somebody please play Vlad, What goes around by Nas.
Vlad looks like the winged junk dealer from Star Wars Episode: 1 (Watto)
Kingdom Come is Hov's worst album....by a wide margin!
Yea Jay Z is so much more consistent, He dropped 4:44 in 2017, since then Nas dropped 3 Albums, 1 Ep, got a Grammy, album of the year, and probably will get another Grammy.
Nas doesn't gaf... That's why it bothers Vlad... Nas doesn't give him the energy.. he doesn't deserve it.. Nas is his own man.. stands on his own.. from day one.... No acknowledgement needed from Vlad... respect to y'all for calling that bullshit out...
Cancel Vlad
Fyi. nastradamus was not trash
!!! That’s what I love abt Nas
Rewind would blow 99 problems out the water...
Who is Vlad? Exactly.
keep it up. Esco The GOAT
DAMN!! I just made a comment in 1 of the music groups I'm a member off about this same topic. What's Vlad's problem with Nas. I couldn't agree with you more. It doesn't matter whom he's interviewing, he somehow finds a way to bring up Nas name in a negative aspect or shall I say, SLICK HATIN. He could be interviewing Pattie Labelle & he'll find a way to bring up Nas name. Something stupid like, Pattie you & Michael McDonald brought out the BEST in each other. That's when you know you are a GREAT artist. When Nas collaborated with Phil Collins. It was ehhh blah blah. Nas couldn't get on the level Phil is on. Phil couldn't make Nas look goog or bring out the best in Nas. Because Nas is not like a Jay Z. etc. 😂🤣 Dude has a SERIOUS HARD on for Nas, it seems to me.
Or Nas denied an interview with him.
Nas is in the way. Media and pop fans BEEN desperate to crown Em or Jay the king. The purists always shut that down. Vlad is the last gasp.
ur so right u can imagine when Nas featured Eminem the next thing u hear the Stan's say is Eminem verse is better than Nas which it wasn't they just can't help it
@@malikmogekwu9781 Nas my #1, but Em did have a better verse. So did Lauryn. So did Rocky. Nas worst verse on Magic is opposite Rocky. Nas plays pg for most features.
@@jayyarbrough9902 no he didn't have better every bodies verse was good nobody can say Eminem verse was better with a straight face one love my brother
Vlad stay hating on Nas ..He is better than jay period
It’s clearly because the god Nas stands for true black culture and focus on uplifting his people while also telling the truth speaking about the way his people are treated in this country. And when you to that and go against the systems there would be a target on your back by even your own people who are really sellouts
That Ether, Shit Make Your Soul Burn SLO!!
Magna Carter had Nickels & Dimes and Part II. Those were the 2 moments. I bought a Jay album (Vol 3) before i bought a Nas album as a kid. Vol 3 was good. I'm a fan of both but Nas my favourite rapper
Wasn't Vlad at Hot 97 when the Summer Jam incident.
Nas has never blighted and jinxed himself by doing a podcast or sit down to be interviewed by Vlad.
Nas is from the projects
We definitely know how to stay away from dem JUMBIE MAN FULL OF BAD VIBES
fire 🔥 bun all the wicked ⚔️
G.O.A.T. period and im talm bout Nas
You touched on the issue, Jay has always had a better delivery than Nas. His catalog was better, but he has never been a good storyteller. He talks about the same things and it gets boring. I appreciated his diversity with Coming of Age.
Jay have more recognizable songs jay have more popularity than nas and jay is a bigger artist jay got lyrics for years but as a superior mc and lyricist nas win that hand down nas las five albums proven it plus nas doesn’t embrace the mainstream like jay did
He’s one of those hip hop media members/fans that has to attack Nas no matter what so that Jay-Z is the goat or better than him. They wanna keep that narrative going. So no matter what Nas does they’ll always discredit it. I truly believe they aren’t honest. They have an agenda.
then he gave kd3 that junk ishard then magic 3 justas hard. them 3rd/closing projects of thetwo nas sagas were as amazing as his run has been. thisll be remembered 100 yearsfrom now . nas's crazy run in the early 2020s
I put in one of my poems we should be grateful that Nas and Hov didn't go out like Pac and Big!
Nas's first 5 albums were mostly produced by trackmasters minus (illmatic) which were all classic s in my opinion. When Nas stopped working with trackmasters his beats took a hit. But SO what dude gave us 5 classics and now is working with Hit-Boy so Vlad needs to shut his pie-hole!!
Vlad hates that Nas gets at his kind in his music. The music he likes most times has very lil substance. I know a couple folks who are of vlad's kind and they don't like conscious MC's. They like destructive music from us.
The same problem vlad has with Farrakhan. He trashes nas’s beats but always bigs up every Eminem album. He said black thought couldn’t rhyme like that. Racist
Vlad has the same hatred for Eminem. It's clear he hates people that refuse to do interviews with him, lol.
Nas the GOAT
Why does nobody ever consider live show when comparing not sayin one or the other but if uve seen both live wht better way to compare..
Nastradamus- life we chose...some of us have angels..project windows...come and get me...last words..family..shoot em up....nastradamus had bangers on it...nastradamus, you owe me, was lame but still a ok album...nastradamus arguably nas's worst album and is better than alot of rappers best album...if you just strip the beats and just focus on nas pen n lyrical content off nastradamus..u can tell he's in a class of his own
Play 'You Owe Me' in a party environment and see how it still pop's off today, it's a female anthem!
Vlad and PSA Hip Hop hate Nas lol
Man I appreciate y’all brothers get them niggas !!!!!!!!!
Thank you guys for this🙏🏾
You can see Vlad enjoys to hear people talk negative about Nas, this man has never spoke anything positive about Nas, whenever he mentions him on his channel it's always something negative
Yea. The MC Serch interview confirmed everything we need to know about Vlad. That idiot was speechless when Serch kept praising Nas for his artistry and business acumen while low-key shitting on jayz. Vlad definitely wasn't happy about that Serch interview.
@@jjjayden8964 ok, now I have to go search for this interview....haven't watched that channel for a minute and wasn't planning on it...lol
Yeah man that either still 🔥
Disappointment this was a video about Nas and Jay dominated the conversation but… whatever. KD1 and KD2 are classics coming with KD3 for the three-peat!!!!!!!
He somehow mentions nas in every other one of his videos..shit is sus fr
Nas THE best to ever do it , maybe hes a Jay z fan and cant take the L or Nas didnt want to do a interview with him. Jay have never done a album as Good as nas worst.
I appreciate you guys for this conversation
