Now Jay-Z knows how Nas feels

[UpAndComing]

Use to slight people for album sales, and bragging how he wasn't "Rapping like Common since", and dissing Nas for "tryna kick knowledge"


Ironic that his boy Biggie dissed Nas with the line

"Its ill when, MC's used to be on cruddy shyt
Took home, Ready to Die, listened, studied shyt
Now they on some money shyt, successful out the blue"


Same thing Jay-Z did. Took home Untitled, Distant Relatives, and Life is Good... studied that shyt. All of a sudden 4:44 is born. Politically charged, historical contexts putting a bright light on white institutional racism, social commentary on being black in America, etc etc

Then he shows up to the Grammy's thinking he'll get the same love for putting out such an album. Then gets trolled being nominated 8 times, losing 8 times. Not knowing the Grammys only loves you when you sing nikkas in Paris . Now he knows what it feels like when you challenge the status quo and show no mercy and put your Black Pride on frontstreet



By the way, love the 4:44 album, so no hate there

Jay z is a grown man with huge amounts of money and power., What the fukk do you expect him to rap about??

You people are the type to hate on a person when life changes for them while y'all stuck in the same place your whole life doing the same shyt. 2nd childhood ass nikkas,lol

[Tommy Gibbs]

I fully agre. I love both jay and Nas bus the op is correct

 

[Easy-E]

olitically charged, historical contexts putting a bright light on white institutional racism, social commentary on being black in America, etc etc

you talking like Jay-Z dropped a dead prez album

That album was Jay doing the same money bragging with a sprinkle of "wokeness" and gossip

That album wasn't Untitled

Ya'll pulled the same thing on 2014 Forest Hills--a video with J Cole flexing his high level knowledge of slavery ( I'm mixed, I'd be a house nikka) and that line about Elvis and Eminem.

'It's trendy to be the conscious MC, but next year, who knows what we'll see' Nas in 2004

This is a bit of a stretch. If that was really the case then he would have made 4:44 instead of MCHG

 

[JahFocus CS]

Jay-Z finally grew up and expanded his worldview somewhat in recent years and nikkas praised him to high heaven for it. Meanwhile Nas been on that shyt since the start of his career same shyt Jay-Z clowned as "so you trying to kick knowledge?"

no idea's original

 

[thewiseman]

good think grammys are for cacs

 

[Ol’Otis]

Jay-Z finally grew up and expanded his worldview somewhat in recent years and nikkas praised him to high heaven for it

exactly! a few years ago he was "Tom Ford and European Jay"

 

[Boolean]

Hov too rich to ever know how nas feels

and he already has 21 golden gramophones something nas will never feel

 

[No Hook]

What people fail to realize is the shyt that has happened in the world since Jay dropped MCHG which was in 2013. Why wouldn't Jay speak on that type of shyt? To say he studied all those Nas albums then made 4:44 is funny to me

 

[OG Talk]

Jay fans crying about a man with 21 Grammy wins is hilarious. I’m listening to Victor Cruz podcast and he’s so shocked that Jay got curved. Where was all this outcry when Nas and Dead Prez were losing to Big Pimpin and BP3 type efforts?


Welcome to the world of “real hip hop heads”..Dope shyt is rarely rewarded.

Go make another song with Cold Play

 

[Surreal]

LIG should've won a grammy
