Nas got $10 mill for that deal. I'd say he won.
Only on the coli is getting 8 figures an L:lmaonas:
Jay himself said he wasn't NaS boss in that TV interview they did together. Smart dumb nikkas say NaS won the battle but jay won the war. Even if Jay had become NaS boss where's the L if jay didn't cut his budget,sabatoge is album,or push back his release date :jbhmm:
Oh and NaS dissed him on success,walk into the lions den take everybody's chips about to cash em in:naswon:
And on jeezys My president,I'm the realist nikka on the label:umad:
But it was great to see to goats squash the beef and do songs together:ahh:

Y'all nikkas have TRULY lost your minds.

I have no earthly idea how Nas signing with a label that have to date put out THREE straight Nas albums that debuted at Number 1, got him 6 Grammy noms and three Gold plaques, was an L.

Jay-Z has said out of his OWN mouth that he didn't sign Nas, he partnered with him. Nas also said that at the time he was getting a lot of offers to be a top executive (Atlantic) but that he didn't want the responsibility of being in charge of other artists, Nas got EXACTLY what he wanted out of the deal as did Def Jam. There's no L here whatsoever

So Jay-z used someone else to finesse Nas to signing for a label he was president of? Jay-z knew exactly how it would look, threadstarter is an idiot, Nas lost. He doubled up on his L when he started crying about Def Jam after Hov left that sinking ship. Nas seems to have smartned up in recent years so :salute: to him but this was a huge L that Nas collected for no reason.

Yea just like Drake "partnered" with Apple. You think Tim Cook isn't his boss?

Ya'll are taking these terms too serious like Christians take every verse in the Bible literally. Jay was the President and Nas was a recording artist. Nothing wrong with that not is it an L. Nas stans are turning this into an L by pretending they don't understand corporate hierarchy.

I don't think Jay was Nas' boss either. I said it then, but those threads are on the old spot. I think Nas was moreso under LA Reid.

Jay is that you?
If I were Jay Z then I wouldn't be asking you for the inside information that you claim to know, now would I?:usure:

Exactly. Nothing wrong with Nas working under Jay Z. Nas fanboys are just extremely insecure when it comes to Jay Z. They're just like Kobe fans when it comes to Mike and Lebron.
