Something is bubbling on the surface, I won’t say too much. But, since the cat is taken out of the bag, I can also speak on it.
Nas and Raekwon are the dynamic duo that hip-hop needs. They will never miss it. It’s magic every time they link. Honestly, if they decide to make a joint album, it could be legendary.
Raekwon just gave up on his latest album The Emperor’s New Clothes, which is fire. After the release of the new clipart, it lasted and lasted for a good year of culture. But you know how it develops… Whenever the paint falls, there’s always a little confusion.
Nas and Raekwon’s track “The Omereta” appears on the track, and this song alone is already great. When I first heard it, I was paved. But then another NAS scripture surfaced. It’s vicious and full of anger. It began to spread rapidly. When it was touring online, people started to dissect it, guessing that NAS was shooting a shot at Jim Jones.
Now, as you may remember, Jim had a lot to say about NAS earlier this year. That’s another story. But Nass at least never responded, and did not respond publicly. Therefore, it is natural to think that the unreleased poem of this section is directed at the delayed hayman of Harlem diplomats. The internet leads it to be a lens.
But, let me keep the record. I have trusted sources who make it clear that this is not a lawsuit by Jim Jones. NAS is not trying to start anything messy. That’s not the space he is in now. According to people close to this situation, Innanet, including Scram Jones and Song’s producer Nottz, are all wrong. This verse was recorded before Jim commented. After all the drama, it happens to resurface, which looks like a response.
Well, the powerful verses don’t make the final cut due to perceived beef. What a pity, because what we hear is the original, unfiltered Nas. This is the kind of scripture that our fans strive for. Still, it does make the album version itself a gumbo. The whole project is also amazing. Scream to Lei!
Not everything needs to be Diss. Sometimes rappers just rap. As a community, maybe we need to stop drawing conclusions and letting music be music.
Nas knows how to explain things. That’s why he didn’t want that verse in the first place. However, it leaked somehow. (This is another story from another day.)
There are a lot of quiet damage controls behind the scenes to make sure that this doesn’t get stuck in some unnecessary nonsense. While we all love a great lyrical war, that’s not. So let’s not turn it into no.
Let art speak. Nas Peace. Peace against thunder. Peace with Jim.
Hip-hop life!
