I had no Damon Dash as my partner, Just maniacs, wish I had a Damon - Nas

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

I woulda been straighter with that shyt

 

[Cuban Pete]

I used to defend Nas alot but he just as weird as Jigga is when it comes to each other these nikkas are 40+ still on some frenemy shyt

Is it Webster Hall duets or is it subliminals and dropping projects on each others release dates

Hes slighting Jays entrepreneur skills like Hov needed or relied on Dame like that. I had no Damon Dash, just maniacs I wish I had a Damon dash I woulda been straighter = you had a businessman as your right hand and I had nikkas like jungle and horse, if I had a dame I would been even bigger than I am but I still made it. Maybe Im reading too much into but also not a huge diss or nothing but its a love tap, lil nudge if you will

And if Pac and Big was alive those bars woulda been for them 2

They been doing this shyt for years at this point

Edit: Nas also lying his ass off like Steve Stoute hasnt been in his corner for 20+ years but ok

Say what you want about Dame now but in the beginning of the roc and it's prime he was the guy going to war for the label and getting shyt done. He was the one who kept these executives on their toes. The problem with being a pitbull like that is people will go out of their way to avoid a person who will g-check them. Which is why Def Jam was having secret meetings with Jay about Rocafella like he wasn't only 1/3rd of ownership.

You're thinking too deep. This wasn't a Jay sub

If it was ANY other two rappers I would totally agree but nas and hov is arguably the most cerebral longest running rivalry in the history of the game. They take lil shots at each other still just off of reflex, muscle memory. Like when jay mentioned yea im talking me rih b im talking bossy i aint talking kelis

That was another lil love tap in the vein of this. Even at the webster hall show when nas rhymed his part of success worse enemies wanna be my best friend hov adlibbed that shyt loud as fukk like

These are literally my two favorite rappers ive been studied them since I was like 11. I dont think theres the same animosity they once had but at the same time they never hated each other like a 50 ja situation. Its competition

Nope, you are stretch armstronging.

That was more of him saying that he should have had more business men around than street cats.

Steve Stoute was out for Steve Stoute. Dame Dash was out for ROC A FELLA RECORDS, period. Dood gets a bad wrap because of his arrogance but he really rode hard for that label.

Bruh. He’s just reiterating what his brother said about him not having no one really looking out for him like that when he got on. He’s just saying he wishes he had a person like Dame in his corner to do that.

Yea but he specifically mentioned Dame first, then went into Puff and Suge. He tryna say he became a GOAT without back up like the other 3 did God bless the dead cuz why even mention Suge? Suge aint no super saavy business man like Puff and to a lesser extent Dame is. Simon was a big ass bully

It does make one want to ask Nas 'It's it Dame Dummy or nah?'

Nas gets it now though, he needed a Puffy.

and Irv Gotti specifically are two super unlikeable loud ass nikkas but you gotta be fronting HARD to sleep on what they did. Puffy is shadier but hes easier to get on with then them too which is why hes been at the top longer. Game of Thrones ass music industry

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

fukk all that he just need to be straight with whoever is his financial adviser now. they putting him on game

half of anything he made back then would've gone to kelis anyway
