Is Nas a smart dumb n*gga?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Still sounds like Nas isn't the wordsmith he thinks he is, even if you lend credence to him adopting Thompson's explanation. Seems like Nas was going for the effect of permanently derailing J, reducing him to a pathetic, crippled mess. Yet Thompson's words convey the temporary insanity of the addict who's deep within the valley of his hit (comparable to "beer muscles" but on a psychological plane that's maniacally deeper).

Nas' use of "ether" is in the form of involuntary slaughter... something you avoid if you're not about that life, whereas Thompson speaks of the user who, while a wretch to society when he is on his drugs, is still a man who will eventually "come down" from his cloud, realize his pathos, yet once the crave kicks in, will once again voluntarily seek his way to his valley of wretchedness.

Either way, I'm with @hoodheronova when he says Nas' use of "ether" is shaky at best, but all in all, yes, Nas completely comes off as a monumental smart dumb nikka. The type of dude who seems deep in the first 15 years of your life, but by the time you reach the end of the next 15, you just wanna at all this so called "knowledge" he claims to spit.

That's my over-analysis and I'm sticking to it... Rant over.

Edit: Getting taken to the cleaners in court after marrying a smut who came onto the scene with a song about hating & killing all men (with a shotgun cocking in the background to boot!) kinda also takes a few points off homeboy's intellectual report card as well ... He also based the title to the song off of an old wives tale... Smarten up Nas :belifam:

You sir, deserve a round of applause for the rest of your life, simply off the strength of this post.

You could say 2pac was dumb signing that contract to death row.
Poor guy died 5 million dollars in debt after selling 60,000,000 records...only a couple thousand dollars to his name

wouldnt u say that's the epitome of dumb?

you don't think 2pac was dumb signing a handwritten slave contract?

He was charged rent on a Wiltshire apartment that other Deathrow artists lived in on 9 separate occasions. He was charged $23,857 for repairs to a Porsche owned by Steve Cantrock and Suge. Suge and another Death Row representative, who were in California at the time, on the phone told him that he had spent $2 million more than he was entitled to receive. He was charged $115,507 for three pieces of jewelry from B.L. Diamonds, Suge said that the jewelry was a gift to Tupac from Suge, but the bills were never paid. On May 2nd, Tupac was charged $14,500 rent for a house in Malibu which David Kenner lived in. He was then charged $100,000 rent for David Kenner, then $12,000 more. He paid $2700 for Nate Dogg's child support and charged $5,845 for jewelry that Suge bought from XIV Karats Ltd. Sept 3rd he was charged with expenses associated with Michel'le Toussa's Range Rover for $1,453.51. He was also charged over $28,000 for a Chevy Suburban Title. It was taken in Tupac's name initially, but was given to Suge's brother-in-law, Norris Anderson. Tupac was charged $51,425 in connection with the cost of transferring the car to Norris. In August Tupac was charged $2,965, for an American Express bill from Suge's wife. Tupac was charged with expenses that he never agreed to pay which were attendant to the production of albums released by Death Row. He was charged $3,421,842 in video production costs and $663,012 in audio production costs. When Tupac died he had no mutual funds, IRA, or real estate. He owned no stocks or bonds, and had a checking account that had less than $105,000. He also didn't own his Woodland Hills house in San Fernando Valley that he had recently thought he had bought.
