There's an attempt to rewrite history going down. Watch. Five years from now, ten years from now, it will be rewritten that Takeover had a bigger impact than Ether. To the same people who can payola their way to #1s and grammys, this is nothing. The more pop rap becomes, the more the real history as it happened will be written out.

They'll come up with an alternative definition as to why people still say ethered.

Charlamagne ain't shyt for helping the process along.


this revisionist bullshyt is exactly what is going on.
on some wwe owns wcw and takes every oppurtunity to try to change the facts of the matter shyt.

I've read your posts on this, you expose yourself more all the time. You have some kind of weird dislike for Nas, either due to a Jay obsession or for some other odd reason. The fact Nas signed to Def Jam isn't a loss to Nas at all, that's pretty ridiculous. Infact it helped his career, his next albums did well.


yes, it is.
as a matter of fact,...

one of my biggest threads was:

nas is dumb

that was completely about him selling out and the perception behind what the signing was, and its meaning.

but stay strapped real nikka :demonic:

I know Jay was the president, that doesn't mean he owns the label, you seriously don't understand this? Do you know how contracts work? Cause I do.. he wasn't signed to Jay, this is factual.

Perception not reality. I thought the perception of making peace was stronger. Even though I realize it was probably very much because Def Jam wanted to sign Nas and Nas wanted to go there so they wanted shyt to be cool between Nas and Jay.

If you are saying Nas signing to DEF JAM was a sell out move that's a whole other debate, but I don't think he was selling out merely because Jay had a role there at the time.

it was a sellout move because it had no regard for who he actually was.
it was a revenue grab.
which was along the same lines as him making songs with puff.
no cultural responsibility, at all.
when, he is from the guard of guys.
who, if they offered no resistance.
we would never have gotten any cultural based music.
or a cultural attention to detail when rap and the culture were marketed worldwide by leo burnett.

if not for the nas that protected the culture that brought us nas.

we would have had twenty years of l'trimm the cars that go boom and addams family values based soundtrack records of wackness.
instead of twenty years of some attention culturally in the business of rap.

which is why nas selling out eventually lead to the degradation we have now.
as he is the annakins skywalker/death vader of rap.
that made it so, the argument could no longer be raised.
as to cultural responsibility and its importance to the longevity of the pillar of rap as a profitable culturally commendable product.
if, nas never sells out.
rap's protection mechanism are still intact and we still have quality rap music being made,
instead of uncle luke meets l'trimm based rap we have now.

all these nikkaz making the car goes boom with offkey non-convincability based skills.

none of that shyt would be a draw.
if not for nas selling out and making it worse.
all puff had to do after that.
was coup the culture's protectors like nas and krs.
then, we are where we are now....
