Good interview but I lost just a bit of respect for Rakim when he told Nas to his face how much he appreciated UBR and then turned around and had some type of beef against it
yeah but if i was rakim i would feel a pissy about UBR too...he kinda dissed his career post eric b

Nas said in the song.... "That's the end of the group. Went off to solo. Dropped the
R, then the 18th Letter, and I think, somethin', The
Master."

Sound like he said the bolded with a dismissive :francis:i aint listen to them shyts/they're wack kinda tone in his voice

Rakim has never mentioned it(its my theory) but i bet thats where the saltiness comes from

hmmm.....never looked at it that way. Guess he really did have a reason to feel a lil salty. Rakim aint just gonna dry snitch on himself in front of a camera and say why. He probably said that government name shyt excuse to throw off the real scent. nikkas be sneak dissing even in convos.

any idea why he acted like that?? Tech N9ne mentioned a time on a tour where Ra was high sidin and doin some sucka shyt
Nah..thats not why...Ra even tells his own family its cause of the "privacy" shyt...here's the thing..imma keep it as real as I can..Ra kinda felt a way about Nas since Illmatic..Ra kinda feels like people tried to make Nas the "new him" while he was still a pretty young nikka when Nas dropped...Ra was only like 25-26...its all ego shyt..period..thats all imma say..not tryna slander the God..

Ra had problems with Eric B and Nas is cool with him. That could also be why.

I always wondered about that lol Nas never really took that "second coming" shyt to his head but i could picture Ra like :huh: and that gettin on his nerves hearin that shyt everywhere he goes doin shows...which brings me to wonder if he felt a way about Jigga callin himself God Emcee, and why he ain't drop nothin new between '93-'96 to shut nikkaz up like Rakim Allah still can't be fukked wit
