My point is that I challenge you to name the businesses in which Nas own any share of. The guy has been in the rap game since 93-94, what business does he own? Dude living off advance and show money like a rapper that just got a deal does.
It's great that you could bring all of Jay-Z's accomplishments into account and putting it into your mental time capsule for you to relish over like an obsessed fan.
But I have a few questions for you: (1) Do you have any proof that Nas doesn't own any businesses? (2) Why do you clowns think artists owning business = success to the eyes of the uninitiated? It's not like Jay came up with the business proposals HIMSELF, he has help. Plus you know how hard it is to maintain businesses? Smoke and mirrors.
(3) Jay and Nas are on two different planes in this culture but both are great artists...why can't you accept that?
Yet in his rhymes he does all that big willy talk. The same nikka that said he's about to have his own Ascap and Nasdaq? His rhymes doesn't reflect the reality of your statement. In his raps he wants to be a don like Jay, in actuality he's a worker. It's like Boardwalk Empire's episode from last sunday, There's the king and there's the servant. Nas complaining about Def Jam shows you which one he is.
