Is she saying that or that she thinks Rae got a better verse from Nas than the Clipse did?

I understood Nas got a better verse on Rae album than on The Clipse album

 

[HNIC973]

I agree with what she saying but that low-key hating shyt . That Clipse album had great promo & they delivered a dope project can't hate on that

This is literally the only place I've seen hate for that verse and that's including real life.

I think she speaking to a certain subset of folks. But the album was dope I'm very happy with it.

If you know her story and how much Nas helped her in career and life you’d understand why she rides so hard for him. She’s basically Nas’s sister at this point. Think of her the way you’d think about Jungle

Incredible show. Out of the 8 times i’ve seen Nas live this one was my second favorite behind his 2014 performance at One Music Fest.

Everybody i’m talking to whose listened to the album loves the verse. I think after the Hit-Boy run the Coli just expects a certain “type” of Nas verse

Yeah think I only read her comment & not the whole thread.

I liked the Clipse verse but I do feel the beat was over powering. I always feel Nas floats best on minimalistic type of production for most cases.

I get it but protecting him from what exactly? That's my issue she just opens herself to criticism when she does that it makes no sense

Agreed. Many of her comments seem personal and emotional. I get she might have a relationship with Nas, but its really no excuse to not be professional. Like that comment for instance: "Unpopular opinion ain’t no one cleared KD3 or magic yet so I’m not impressed I don’t care how good the promo is ." She could have been ok with the comment if she stopped at "Unpopular opinion ain’t no one cleared KD3 or magic yet." but the rest of the statement is discrediting Clipse's effort for no reason.

Like two things can be true, (1) Clipse came out with a great project (maybe a classic?), and (2) the project is also not better than Magic/KD3. But there is no point in trying downplay Clipse's album, especially in the first week of release...comes off real haterish. Do the comparisons when the dust settles on this project and people want to compare the best rap albums of the 2020s, cause all three will be in the discussion.

I've actually not even seen anyone say this project is better than Magic or KD3...but I'm not looking either.

She downplays damn near every big album that comes out with a sub tweet. It's very weird.
