He cares, but you have to remember that Nas is in a different lane than kendrick and the rest of the guys that kendrick mentioned. I think that someone like Nas, with age comes knowledge and I think that Nas knows that for 1:claiming you're the king of something, doesn't necessarily make you the king, and 2:he could careless about who's the king of whereve, he's done his job; he's made his imprint in hip hop and he's became a living legend. What's the need for him to compete? The only thing that is important to him now is making good music, hearing good music, and knowing that hip hop is progressing.
He said multiple times ain't no kings :manny:

Nas my nikka but he always gives terrible interviews
She is asking him questions about events that he has no info or awareness off...What do you expect him to do (in this case)?

Her first question should have been, "have you heard the song Control?" and depending on his answer, formulate a follow up question...

But I do I agree with you, in general, Nas just seems disinterested during interviews...Dude is just nonchalant, he still doesn't fully understand the impact he has had on the game, and that's why the fan base is interested in his perspective of the game...? He doesn't get it...

What did you guys expect Nas to say? He's a boss. Kendrick is performing at rock the bells this year; this means nothing. 'Calling yourself king doesn't make you one' &
'Any man who must say ‘I am the King’ is no true king'.

Dude didnt even look remotley annoyed or high or drunk (In fact hes been more articulate in recent years. His point about streets dictating fashion and different eras)

And he's right, you gotta ask Kendrick what he means when he says hes the king of both coasts. Not even remotley close to looking salty or anything, maybe just playing his cards to the chest which is understandable but I dont think he seemed mad at all in that interview. We obviously interpreting things differently

i love kendrick, but he fast becoming overrated. the idea that Nas should be asked about this lll dude with 1 classic. kendrick is dope, u will never hear me say otherwise, but respect the legends man. respect the architects. msinfo is a hip hop elder, she know better than to as nas this isht. its like the jay z fans thinking they have the capital to get at a legend like harry belafonte.

nikka said "WOOOOOW"

Yeah he hasn't heard it yet :russ:
:heh: These cats live in their own world man. Nas is an mc's mc. You know good and damn well that he's heard the verse, and his reaction was kind of awkward because he probably feels awkwardly about it. On 1 hand Ken shouted him out but on the other hand that kony line had to rub him some kind of way. I have no doubt that Nas will have something to say about this in rhyme form. He's too competitive and arrogant to.

I think the days of Nas ruffling feathers and throwing
shots is over.
