Hell Will bought Illmatic (or at least a Nas single) on the Fresh Prince episode where Ashley had the one-hit wonder song.

who in the fukk would think the God had a ghostwriter?!
Serch has a story about being approached to ghostwrite for Ra for the Follow The Leader album. Apparently Ra was having writers block. Ra didn’t know anything about it though and when he found out he was furious (just like his lyrics
). Serch was going to give him Stepping to the AM.
wikipedia was out. you can't doxx someone with public information
apparently paying homage is frowned upon and people don't know what an autobiography is, there's nothing in that song that wouldn't be on vh1 behind the scenes or a biography on film
And Ra keep saying Nas said his kids names which is a lie... Fefe being his wife is the most personal shyt Nas said. But Ra put that out there himself waaay before then.
Ol flip floppin ass nygga
The leader don't follow
So what??
You want him to rock Skinny Jeans and wear Chocker neclaces and put a tat on his face???
How about you let his wife worry about that if at all and focus on the music fam, on some real shyt it's non your damn business how somebody dresses anyway like wtf, here you have an opportunity to hear a pioneer speak and you're more concerned about the clothes on their back
Was blessed to witness this man rock the mic at the Wu Tang show back in June. Ra motioned like he was opening a carton of juice and started downin that shyt....
Eric B dropped that instrumental....."SIP THE JUICE!!!!!!
We lost our muthafukkin minds...the entire place was exploded...
We was in the 3rd row....Rakim performed right before Wu closed out the show...bruh, you could see GZA in the wing on stage damn near in the set...the look of excitement, respect, that man had on his face witnessing hip hop greatness....arms folded lookin like a kid on Christmas morning....
How can you NOT STILL be in love with this hip hop shyt....respect the architects.
And yeah you muthafukkin clowns...he was rockin a 4x white T, track pants, iced chain and some muthafukkin shell toes and STILL had white boys in they 60's , millenials with their parents, sistas in church hats on they muthafukkin feet losin they voice.....WHAT?
This mans whole aura was ill!
Its weird, cause it seemed like as soon as he stepped on the scene he was like an NYC treasure.
He was just the embodiment of this city.

The God has always seemed salty towards Nas after he became the lyrical center of attention with illmatic.
Nas has always shown nothing but respect though because that generation actually respected their elders.

Rakim is that dude, arguably The GOAT, but I have a hard time believing that if it came down to it, Kane wouldn't have served his ass on a silver platter.
He explained it best in that interview he gave with Ed Lover where he said he knew he'd bring it to Ra if it ever came down to it cuz Ra's bread and butter wasn't being a battler, where that was Kane's forte. He said KRS was the real battle he was looking forward to having, not Rakim.

Lyor Cohen was allegedly using a coaching trick to get Eric & Ra to turn in the project. I thought Serch was making the story up, but when he later told the story about the bounty and hit on him out in L.A., he said Def Jam tried to call Eric B. to step in because he had affiliates and a little pull out West.Serch has a story about being approached to ghostwrite for Ra for the Follow The Leader album.

Def Jam " Eric, do you know anything about this alleged hit that's out on Serch in L.A.?
Eric "Yeah, let it happen." CLICK ....................dial tone
Trackmasters were working with Will. They had everyone they were working with down in MIA recording in one studio/mansion. It was Nas, Nature, Nore, 50, Will, Ali Vegas...etc etc

Before then. Nas as a teen was around the Paid In full Posse and in the studio with them before he got a chance to blow. Eric B was like this kid got next. He was telling Ra that and Ra was like he cool but Ra was in his in and out durig that time. So Large P started giving Nas those beats to spit on. Ra and Nas seem cool. With rappers, y'all gotta understand, it will always be competitive
