Why would Nas fear his little nikka? They from the same hood so he can’t project that fear into Nas when Nas grew up around real shooters/killers like Lakey The Kid, Worm, and so on, these guys on a different level to 50, so no he wouldn’t be scared, he knew what was up.

Even though it was just music, I'm surprised 50 Cent wasn't mad for real when Nas mentioned he could point out his momma to some killers, that was a little too much considering they was homies


50 Cent literally called Nas’s wife a bytch and insinuated she was a whore. 50 know what time it is.



The thing is that 50 in no shape form or fashion could be a threat to Nas, for the simple fact that 50 admitted his beef with Nas was based on him feeling hurt by Nas for replacing him on the J.Lo song. 50 was giving Nas props in the thicket of they’re little beef for taking 50 and Yayo on tour with him when nobody else would fukk with him. Its why 50 never did actually released a full on diss to Nas cause he’d look like a sucker when Nas could just bring up the obvious, that 50 loves Nas style.

Not really....50’s only real angle was for a time he had more clout in the industry, but that was surprisingly fleeting...I’m mad that the beef not went full on, cause that would’ve been another buddy under Nas belt...and how shyt played out, we could’ve saw it as Nas ending his music career ...not that it would’ve been true, but it’s a narrative that could’ve been put out there...once his buzz started dying, don’t know if there was a big time rapper that had as embarrassing of a fall off as fif, just because we knew how much it meant to him...the endless flopped singles he tried...he thought he’d be a legacy act but ended up just being a washed up pop rapper...glad he got the Hollywood shyt popping so he can still eat, but rest in piss to his music career

Nas could’ve took the same angle as Sosa, who IMO had the most poignant 50 diss, but with ether like disdain instead of AZ’s gentlemanly approach

Def the most personal shot I think someone's ever taken at 50....but the diff is 50 respects Nas always has period

50's my guy....but he was clowning Nas about being a window shopper...now in the last 5 years Nas probably done turned over 100-150+ million, not even counting music/tour money, while 50 was trying to wiggle his way out of multiple lawsuits and having to play the bankruptcy game, looking like a clown, lol.
That's Google eeuuurfff knauze for ya

nikkas always thought less of 50. 50 proved them wrong. They felt the pressure and yes, 50 was a threat. If he wasn't, Nas wouldn't be saying shyt about him at that Central Park show. If he wasn't a threat at that time, he would've kept moving

Always thought this was weird. Sure I get catching feelings but given how we ALL know how 50 Cent thinks...surely he understood why he was replaced on that song. Nas was the bigger artist, 50 was unknown (mainstream wise) at the time. Given how obsessed 50 is/was with numbers he had to understand that.

End of the day I'm glad they're cool again.

Queensbridge Houses and Jamaica are like night and day, they grew up in totally different places...Nas lived in the sewer, lol, the real hood. Jamaica is hood here and there but around 160+ it's more so quiet, that's where 50 is from, he was gettin busy on the strip tho.

I agree no one would be intimidated if they ever had beef tho.

Nope, never been on his level as an MC/artist and that's all that matters.

Notice with some rappers, their stans cannot refer to the music to make a comparison, its always about who was more street, more feared, had more goons on deck and was feared. I'm talking about Pac and 50 fans.
Discuss the music and leave the other nonsense, but they cannot because that is all they have.
