Forbes trying to do a hit piece on Nas

[Ricky43]

Does Drake have to come forth about being a deadbeat and address black face besides the sorry apple note?

Double standards are crazy.

Man this article seems like dude saw that Nas was having a streaming session and was like.

 

[Safe]

Dude dressed like the Saved By The Bell intro.

 

[FreshAIG]

He ain’t gotta acknowledge shyt

He should

 

[The Fire]

the fact that this is a top search result when you google nas

 

[Lotto]

"Nas, you're cancelled!"

It's not Forbes, its Forbes Contributor. They basically got bloggers on the site working for free and write whatever they like.

Most of them aren't even accurate on their reporting or post opinion-pieces so there's not much editorial consistency and almost zero oversight.

So they letting any amateur blogger run around "reporting" "news"? Forbes really shameless


took the link outta the op, these guys shouldnt be getting clicks. and fukk google news for havin it as the top result for nas last night.

My gosh







Repped.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

The accuracy!

The difference is, while fans and critics still want to crucify West for his asinine public behavior, they haven’t bothered to hold Nas accountable for the allegations levied against him.

How can you hold someone ACCOUNTABLE from allegations?

It’s crazy. Now that everyone has a blog or some way to slander you, it’s all court of public opinion. Accusations are enough and that’s all they care about. It’s bullshyt. You can’t be accountable for allegations. If you fight too hard you look more guilty. If you stay quiet they think you have something to hide. It’s a double standard. Hopefully Nas is such an out of the spotlight artist that this doesn’t bother him too bad.

He had a few bars about gossip on the album. that's about as much as this deserves.

Jungle said Kelis was lying when the news came out so you can stop expecting any apologies. This will continue to be ignored as it should.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Remember this is Forbes contributors, not Forbes itself. Their contributor articles are terrible shyt random bloggers write. The article also falsely claims Kendrick attacked Spotify's former policy on "hate music" when it was Top Dawg.

 

[Mowgli]

Why hasn't he been forced to deal with that hairline and gay dashiki tshirt

Yep, even says under the author's names "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own."

I have no clue why they do this because there's so much half-assed stuff in there ruining their brand/rep, but I guess the clicks help to turn a profit, and legally they can claim it's just a blog and they have no control over the opinions expressed.

How Being A Forbes Contributor Works

What the Forbes model of contributed content means for journalism

Two years ago, Forbes.com was a news website like most others.

Today, it is less website, more operating system -- an underlying layer of technology that hundreds of contributors use to publish independently.

Lewis DVorkin, who kickstarted the model at True/Slant and since 2010 has honed it for Forbes.com as chief product officer, calls it “incentive-based, entrepreneurial journalism.”​
