I've heard mixed stories about Nas. When I lived in Albany I hung with some cats in his age group who were from The City. The general impression I got was that Nas from the turf, grew up and hung around shooters, but he wasnt no dealer himself and didn't have the reputation of knocking shyt down like other QB nikkas of his era...

Just my impression, plus his raps always came across as a nikka who was "around" but not with the shyts himself. I could be wrong but I think at the very least, when you think about street rappers from NY, Nas ain't one of the nikkas you really think of...
Nas really shot nyggas bro.. He is one them. He just saw the bigger picture.

Not a goon, but really did some shyt. its a difference. He got more street cred than somebody like Jim Jones who really just hung with nyggas that did shyt

Maybe you're right. I swear this board the only place I've heard that though, and this is by FAR the most pro-Nas space I've ever been in. Most people I've known from NY don't dislike Nas, but the d-riding nikkas do for him on here, from his background, to his music, to his business moves, etc. This board magnifies literally every detail about Nas, unlike anything I've ever seen...

I take everything I hear about fam on here with a grain of salt, as a half-truth. But you may be right...

What I was always told about Jones was that he was really in the activities, so basically the reverse of what you've said about Nas. The general read I got on Jones was, wasn't no real nikkas fearing him, but he was really active. Who knows though, I've always leaned on the feedback I got about NY rappers, when I was living Upstate around mad Borough cats...

i don't think you really be listening though because dave rarely raps "kill-a-nikka" type ish.
mostly about money, growing up rough (not necessarily violent), money, his kids, haters, fly ish, girls, rap.
i'm not the type to listen to gratuitous rachet or violent ish and dave is my favorite rapper.

This “you not from Harlem” shyt as the ultimate insult is comedy :russ:

What are the official qualifications…unbroken birthright citizenry from the maternal line tracing back at least two generations?

All kidding aside I’m sure it’s birth to like high school graduation and if you’re coming from some place else you better be wherever you’re closing by like 1st grade because it won’t take long at that point for nikkax to start forging bonds.

All that coming around at 15 ain’t going to cut it

Funny how Loon never was spoken about in that way and he went to high school in California

One of the stories was from Curtis Sc00n from Queens about Nas shooting the stick up kid outside the barber shop.

He is what he is I don’t think anyone thinks he is a Lake The Kidd or Sherm but he probably ‘buss his guns’ more than Jeezy ironically:russ:
