Nas didn’t succeed over Jay in business in any capacity. And standing 10 toes down on it sounds corny as a talking point - I truly hope you don’t do this in real life. You @L. Deezy co-sign each other’s weirdness about this ish. I don’t get it. You’re a Nas stan and it clouds your otherwise rational brain.

New York City is allowing three licenses for casino projects in New York. 6 or 7 different companies put up bids. A Brooklyn group (which Jay Z could’ve been a part of and chose not to), a Queens group (which Nad chose to be a part of), a Bronx group (which originally denied but was overridden by the mayor and is still competing) and three different Manhattan based groups. Jay Z chose to go with the most ambitious and potentially profitable but ultimately most difficult one to get approved - the Times Square project. It was rejected 4-2. Know what else? EVERY SINGLE OTHER MANHATTAN BID GOT REJECTED BY THE SAME MARGIN. So there will be no casino in Manhattan whatsoever.

It wasn’t a rejection of Jay Z - it was a rejection of the very idea of a casino in Manhattan. Theater groups protested arguing it would add congestion and takeaway attention from Broadway. Basically, the city sided with established groups that didn’t want a casino in the area - ANYWHERE. The Queens bid and other bids are in much less densely populated areas and did not have the same pushback or landscaping changing effect. In other words, Jay Z went for a home run when he could’ve hit a single. The Queens bid was never competing directly with Manhattan and had completely different arguments. A Nas “victory” over Jay would be if he was attached to one of the other Manhattan bid but they all got rejected. Salute to Nas on a successful business venture but leave all that other corny shyt at the door.

Nas was a background figure via his investing group - damn near a silent partner. He is being mentioned solely because Jay Z was the actual face along with Caesars of the other project.

I think the funniest thing about this whole thing is Jay fans spent decades making up some false “Jay won the war bs” that has never been used in any hip hop battle before. Jay Stan’s proudly regurgitated that talking point and Nas stomped that talking point right out :mjlol:.

Not reading this thread but hopefully it's not a bunch of dikkriding over Nas profiting off addiction and degeneracy

This thread is embarrassing on multiple levels and it being sticky'd says a lot. Casinos are bad. They siphon money from working people, and they do more harm to black people. Celebrating this because your favorite rapper or celebrity is involved is just odd to me. I said this in the Hov casino thread, I said it in the Nas casino thread....I don't respect this on any level. This has nothing to do with being anti-capitalist or Marxist. I'm not anti capital, I'm not against owning businesses or making money. I just don't fukk with making money off exploiting poor or working class people, including a lot of black people. There are no community benefits to this. Don't let them fool you.

Also the weird Jay attacks. What are we doing. I remember the SOHH days when dudes would outright dismiss or ignore Jay's obvious advantage on business deals/money/etc because that shyt has nothing to do with rap. But now that Nas got his finances together and has some level of involvement in a casino brehs wanna flip and talk shyt about Jay's business in relation to Nas'? When do we grow up. Jay is a billionaire. Nas is not a billionaire. And guess what...who fukking cares. This has no bearing on any of our lives. This isn't sports or something lol.

:hubie:

nikkas gonna be mad but whatever, I just don't fukk with this shyt.
