Nas is that kid that got left behind in school and didn't graduate
the next year to new students he appears smarter, he's older, he's seen the curriculum, but then even those students lap him and pass by

This was the case with Biggie
And then when Jay was graduating to the next level he took it upon himself to make remarks on the kid still left behind
and this inevitably brought us ether

but after that this man still hasn't topped his best work at 17, doesn't have a mature stable home life as others have matured not only financially, lyrically, and literally in their respective personal lives
Nas still finds himself left behind on the sidelines.....
