All these years later and I'm still DISGUSTED at Nas for signing to Jay-Z

[BulletProof]

Bad analogy!

“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this.” —Steve Jobs to Walter Isaacson, March 2010.

God damn.

Jobs was ready to go straight 2Pac.

He sounds like Pac's interviews about Big after the shooting.

Absolute clown chit.

I have not listened to a Nas album since.

"B-b-but Nas with L.A. Reid..."

According to his book, L.A. Reid didn't know Jack Chit about the rap world
when he took the Def Jam job, he was an R&B exec.
He needed somebody who knew rap to help him run chit,
and Mariah Carey told him he should hire Jay.

He ran every rap act he signed past Jay first, if Jay said yes, then he signed them.

So basically, Nas signed to Jay. Disgusting.

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

loser type nikkas

I'f you'd do this amount of mental gymnastic for long past the sell-by date stan-war fodder. You'd probably do this for your priorities.

to ignore undeniable, facts backed by multiple sources and confirmation from the principle people involved themselves?

you gotta be a rare breed of stupid muthafukka.

NAS deal at Fernan was insane. 3 mil per album.

 

[L. Deezy]

It was no damn bidding war for Nas lol

It was with Atlantic.. they offered him the Presidency position like Jay had..

Nas sent Quan there but decided on Def Jam. At least know the history breh

The optic of the move looks weak. Nikkas can’t deny that.

Nas does a bunch of odd shyt.

Most of the execs don't know ish about the rap world. And Reid had Kast

 

[Ziggiy]

It was no damn bidding war for Nas lol

Yes there was.

Atlantic offered him a Vice President position. When asked in an interview they said “That would have made you Jim Jones boss” he said “I’m still his Boss”


Columbia also wanted to keep him. Thats why Columbia and Def Jam split the profits for HHID and Untitled

Yes, its been said many times already. He didn't want it. What's the issue?

Just because u have another option don’t mean it’s a bidding war lol

It can’t be 2 presidents lol

and since u posted that link. Being the president over a artist means u their boss lol

so jay z was nas boss

I don’t even understand how this is even a argument lol

 

[RAX 010]

thread is dead

lets kill this narrative right now

1) jayz already responded to these claims

"i didnt sign nas" "you can only partner up with an artist of his caliber"

2) la reid and mark pitts set the deal up

3) when jay was offered the DJ presidency they offered nas atlantic but he turned it down

the end

 

[Taadow]

Yes, its been said many times already. He didn't want it. What's the issue?

Do you understand what Atlantic Records is today?

Nas could've saved hip-hop. LMAO

 

[RAX 010]

Nas realized that he was an Elite Artist so him partnering with Def Jam gave him a bigger bag to still hone his craft. As opposed to him being a Atlantic CEO Flukkin up cuz he wanna rap...
My favorite GOAT

 

[The Dust King]

Yes, its been said many times already. He didn't want it. What's the issue?

wanting the artist to move how you want to move is vicarious stan fantasy sh!t

@Taadow

regarding your la reid claim, he didnt need to know hiphop. he just needed to know mark pitts.
