Asked him how he felt about Nas writing UBR, Rakim sttated he had a problem with it in the beginning but after he got over him putting his kids names in there he felt honored that Nas would take time out to write something about him also said he views Nas as his little brother so it is what it is, typical charlamgne trying to stir shyt up.


Its funny because it seemed like Rakim felt the REVERSE when you look at the timeline.
