Is this real lol

I remember I used to see that Nas and Steven Segal movie at blockbuster back in the day but I never saw this


Yes its real. Its a movie that Nas wrote and produced. It was supposed to be a straight to video/dvd release but Nas cancelled it.

Variety published a review in 2002

I think they realized the album flows well without it.
If it was included it would have been in the middle with the "love song/soft side of the album (All Bad, Replace Me) and I think it makes the theme repetitve and maybe is one track too many to the album.
Hit said Nas intitally wanted to make a valentine's day EP and this was probably on those early sessions along with the other 2

IIRC it was somewhere in the middle of the album

Jim Jones talking about Billboard numbers but there are only two rappers tied for the most top ten debuting albums and thats Jay-Z and Nas.

Jimmy is nowhere near that.

Jim Jones is a different level of delusional. Talking about check the numbers.

KD I and KDII would both be Jim's highest charting albums ever. Nas had three Billboard 100 songs off those albums alone. His entire career Jim got two Billboard 100 songs total as a lead artist, the last one was in 2008 :mjlol:

Not even mentioning that Nas got about five individual albums that sold more copies than Jim entire catalog combined.

Bro, ya using common sense. This shyt don’t have anything to do with numbers. Jim is literally upset that Nas has not been his friend and he has made several attempts to link up with him. That’s all it’s about. Son hasn’t moved the needle when it comes to influences in the game on some rap shyt. Dipset did because of cam and juelz. Jim had one big hit his whole career. He makes good albums no doubt but his success is literally from a movement he shared with zeekey. It was all cam and juelz..

Jimmy is absolutely delusional at this point. There’s absolutely no metric he can use to say he bigger than nas.

- Nas gets way more YT views for recent releases. Nas last official video has 3+ million views, both of jims last 2 videos haven’t reached 100k

- Nas gets 10 times the monthly spotify listeners, nas at about 10 mil and Jim barely a mil

- Forget all time, but all of Nas last 6 releases have sold 10x more than Jim latest el capo or church album

- Nas goes on arena tours and sell out 10k+ arenas with ease. Jim not touring like that.

Im not even the type to get into these “who more popular” arguments, but Jimmy is absolutely delusional and anyone saying Jim is more popular.

Man I'm not even gonna give a click. I get brehs don't want to be combative in a media role but I hope Joe or Jada had some type of push back lmao. I'm not a numbers guy rap wise but if we wanna talk numbers lets pull up what Nas' recent albums sold and what Jim Jones' recent albums sold. His last album doesn't even have a wikipedia page. Fitting because it didn't chart.

I been hating on Dipset for 20 years lol. Even thought we were able to declare victory ages ago these bozos still get under my skin doing shyt like this.

Both Joe and Jada gave a little push back, Jada especially seemed disgusted by Jim saying that shyt.

That's what's so obnoxious, it's obvious they both knew what he was saying was bullshyt but ain't check him to the degree they should have.

Jim kept talking over em and Joe matched that energy but changed the topic. At one point Jada was rolling his eyes like this motherfukker is delusional but decided he wasn't even gonna bother discussing it further.

Thank god. The funny thing about this shyt is Jim got less hits than all these dudes! Joe, Jada, Nas...they all have more hits. And if Jim wants to harp on recent tracks Nas can whip out that Khaled/Jay track lol.

It’s what’s crazy is the nikka is like completely wrong. Every hip hop channel on social media pulling up the numbers and everyone cooking Jim Jones in all the comment sections. The nikka literally smoking crack wit that shyt. Nas got 8 platinum albums and Jones got 0. wtf is this nikka even talking about? lol. Nas has charted higher in his Kings Disease run than Jim has in his whole career.
