Nas has no entrepreneurial ambition. He just makes music - that's it.

Hes not Diddy, Jay or 50 with it but hes stepped up on the business side in a big way the last couple of years with the Mass Appeal deal, Hennessey brand partnership, Koru initiative, 12 Am Sneaker boutique store and Hstry clothing.
If anything hes doing everything but making music since 2013

Did he advise anyone against ever associating with that bloodsucking, tranny chasing, culture vulturing, Kanye leeching, hideous ass, WOAT weed plate (MCHG) dropping, talent fukk nikka Camel? :ohlawd:

If not, than he did the exact opposite of dropping knowledge :ufdup:

Not at all.
In fact its probably better now because you've got all this experience good and bad of dealing with business from your 20's and 30's, you've developed your name and brand as a long lasting figure in Hip Hop so it adds crebility and you've gone through the trial and error of different management to get with the right team.

Its probably more realistic to find sustaining business success later on, as oppose to rappers in their 20s who just attached their name to something while hot and we dont really hear it lasting because they themsleves are still busy being just a rapper.

Even Jay, Dre and Puffy got much more stronger later on life and we forget they too had massive success and failures in the 90s and 2000s in terms of ventures and dealing with other artists to put on.

It never happens out the gate and its a process.

Nas doesn't strike me as a hustler with a strong work ethic or uncompromising ambition.... Jay Diddy and Fifty are ruthless and committed to the pursuit of wealth

Nas has always been a true artist who focused on his craft....his music has always taken precedent over wealth.

Everyone fails man. It's better to fail fast and learn from it than "being realistic" .... it screams of being timid and safe ....not seizing opportunity....we live in a tech age....worse yet hiphop is a young genre

Funny, how nyggas think rappers GOTTA have businesses..lol

No one shytted on Bruce Springsteen for just making music. Nobody has asked Garth Brooks where his clothing line at?

Still waiting on Beats by Smokey Robinson.. Smokey is such a failure for not doing shyt outside music.. what a corny ass millionaire he is..

Meanwhile, the coli critics striving to one day make 100,000 on a 9 to 5 and no businesses.. lol

Damn, a lot of nikkas shytting on Diddy in this thread. So, here's a guy who came up from nothing and made over half a billion within two decades. A guy who has had his faults amplified due to his celebrity. Let motherfukkers record everything you say and write and see how you come out looking. If he's such a joke, then what does that make most of you no bytch getting, childish, racist, no responsibility having, following, not an ounce of originality in your body having ass nikkas? Like it or not, your lives have been lived billions of times. Diddy will be remembered and felt for a loooong time and ya'll will be immortalized by your instagram accounts :pachaha:

I don't work 9-5... I don't brag about my own networth except my first tier employees (who I trained) all make 7 figures:madiba:


the ones who they trained make 6 figures.....:leonadis:


We buy/sell/finance businesses and real estate and occasionally license our models/work with charities :pharrell:


I strive to create 100,000 jobs in Africa one day ....You can't even hire my underlings to consult for 100k:nateholdon:


You are the one who said Nas is top four businessmen/artist right now :wiz:

Not that Im shytting on Diddy. I think by now he would know how to properly speak instead of talking like he with his friends (check his Howard Univ. speech)

And its plenty of illiterate dumb mufukkas who have made it in entertainment. Im not gonna glorify his accomplishments alll that much. Its freaking entertainment for god sakes. Yes you can take some of what he did and pass it down to the next generation but ok...
