Yeah, 50 was on Columbia through Trackmasters label, and Nas was on Columbia working closely with the Trackmasters at the time. Tone & Poke (Trackmasters) didn't wanna ruin anything with their label deal, or any of their relationships with Columbia.
@@spek-27 nature was wrong. 50 cent said he specifically didnt include nas or AZ because he loves them so much he couldnt ever disrespect them. ther is no original version w nas name. the label issues stemmed from mariahs mention and she personally had tommy have the song changed to remove that part where she is mentioned
Listening to them talk about Cool G Rap, made me list to the Symphony! Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane were ahead of their times, but Big Daddy Kane had them radio records they're referring to like Smooth Operator, Aint No Half Steppin, Pimpin aint Easy. Math on his shit, love it.
The Kool G anecdote is a important one. Kool G culturally his currency is high. Kool ZG wasn’t going to compromise his integrity tho. Kool G is your favorite rapper, favorite rapper. But, that’s always going to be the case when you keep your integrity. Kool G was strictly for the streets. And he birth a cohort of rappers he heavily influenced. His impact was huge. We still feeling the ripple effects of it.
I was a lil heated when everyone was going crazy over Big Pun, as if G-Rap wasn't already doing all of that. CLEARLY a Huge influence! But the audience was ready for fresh meat by then.
I'm from the Hurst/Corona and my ears perk up anytime I hear Kool G Rap mentioned. Listening to this convo, when they're mentioning radio records, for some reason, super lover cee and Cassanova rud comes to mind.
Finally that nigga nature !!! This is the kinda interview I have been waiting for so so long on mathhoffa podcast . This guy nature I really love his rao's I grew up to him and other queens bridge borough rappers in the mid and late 90s in Lagos city nigeria as a teenager adolescent after high school me and boys chilling listening to nas and the firm mix tapes . When I heard his joint on the dj clues the proffesional part one mixtape I really taught nature was the next gangstar platinum rapper that will come outta queens after nas it was written .I always wondered what happened maybe he didn't have a good record label budget etc ,🔥🔥🔥👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Nature killed that joint "Time" with Nas and AZ. He had bars just so much going on at that time in space. A lot of cats caught up in that life/mind space back in the early to late 90s and took away from their focus.

Math i Need Everyone including Bigga wit a question of the night of each cast member you as well love wat u doing math on the weekday drink champs on the weekend but while waiting for drink champs hoffa!!!!
You can see how radio songs can change things for an artist: Kool g.Rap is the prototype for bigPun, but one of them allowed himself to make big radio records. And the results for 2 artists with the same skills are drastically different.
The audience was ready for fresh meat regardless. Twinz (Deep Cover 98) was NOT a typical commercial radio song...but it blew up because of using a song that was already a classic, combined with seeing the new kid on the block being a Rican who was 1000lbs and spit like he had 3 lungs.
Nature SO UNDERRATED had such a smooth flow, the voice, cadence. Loved him 4 All Seasons is IMO, at that time, one of the most underrated,overlooked (East Coast) Albums from that era... From St. John's to Wake Forest, wait for us Straight ballers, you hearin it first Nate flawless
9:14 Industry v. Culture facts, "tha $$$game" plzzzzzzz continue to explain the difference to the newbies, we love listening to these guys, they're not our Generation, but we learn so much from them about the challenges and mega levels of exploitation of rappers back then, and where the brick layers SHOULD'VE been today! CLASS is in session!
Nas: Yo 50. The track hot. It’s a banga. Take my name off that shit & I’ll take you on tour. 50Cent: (50Cent Laugh) iight nigga. I knew you’d see it my way!
Nature's first album is so dope. If most of it wasn't floating around on mixtapes for damn near 2 years, it would have been received better. 7.26.22 1737hrs EST
Nature always had the potential to be great. It's a shame that he didn't get to display his talent how he wanted to without sacrificing his integrity as an artist. I suppose in the music industry, you have to give more than you can take, especially when you're new to the game. Listen to "Hot Nights" featuring Prodigy, you'll thank me later (originally heard it on a Kay Slay mixtape - RIP- and it went by the name "Step your game up", I still have the file on my PC).

Nature and Cormega the two most underrated MC’s ever. Great to see this interview.

True but when you speak on MC's who spit he is rarely mentioned.
Many will say Jada, Fab, Eminem, Styles P, even Jeezy , T.I & Ross
But in my heart of hearts Redman , AZ & BEANIE are Top25 Mc's
Nature cool, but not in Mega's class as an artist. Maybe just for dropping 16s but not for making whole songs

@@NOTURPLUGBRO Yeah, but that was years later. “How to Rob” was obviously a fun joint and folks took it too seriously.
@@NOTURPLUGBRO he was trying to get on wasn't real beef you kidding me
@@NOTURPLUGBRO He was asserting his dominance like a real man. Being too respectful is seen as weakness in this genre at least
@@Darkstar_Dayne EXACTLY
50 taking NaS off the record was simply a record label decision since both 50 and NaS were both on Sony/Columbia at that time.
Yeah, 50 was on Columbia through Trackmasters label, and Nas was on Columbia working closely with the Trackmasters at the time. Tone & Poke (Trackmasters) didn't wanna ruin anything with their label deal, or any of their relationships with Columbia.
Not only that but Nas & 50's big homie was Black Just (RIP). Nas & 50 ran w the same kinda dudes like Bimmy, Just & E Money Bags in Queens.
