Biggie and Jay on "vacation" in MIA when Pac landed. Leave it to Nas and the QB Bravehearts to hold the city down :wow:

Word rumor has it Nas never had to fight in his life because his brother fought his battles
Okay so this QB rap Veteran told me how one day him, bravehearts and havoc were in QB and beef popped off...first dude to start shooting was Jungle. He doesnt hesitate to display his loyalty. Im just surprised at how he never got bagged...

He was going to rob memphis bleek during the infamous jay/nas beef. He found out which studio bleek was in and had him shook...few calls were made and Young Jung let Memphis breathe.

Just ask some QB nikkas how NAS is being held down by Jungle.

Q&A: Nas’s Brother, Jungle, on Life in Queensbridge and the New Doc ‘Time Is Illmatic’ TRIBECA FILM

A lot of people couldn’t believe how different you are from your brother. He comes across as quiet and pensive; you seem forthright and more candid. Are you guys total opposites?

We are. Yeah, he’s laid-back and I’m very wild. But if you get around us, you’ll go, “Oh, y’all brothers.” We have the same actions, beliefs, and theories, but I’m way different with how I act and what I say. I like telling jokes a lot. I am way wilder as a person.

[Speaking] as someone who has followed Nas’s career from the start, you guys always had this weird dynamic. It’s like, even though you are the younger brother, you never acted like the little brother.

I am really overprotective of him. It’s almost like he’s my little brother. It’s been like that since we were kids. He was always more laid-back than me, so as kids sometimes I would fight a big guy because [Nas] wasn’t a fast fighter. I would fight at the drop of a hat.


Once his music career [started], I knew what kind of person my brother is. He’s not soft or nothing, but he’s just laid-back. Coming out of Queensbridge, you had all these guys that wanted to be down, or wanted to extort you or take your chain — all of this stuff will mess up your career. I made sure nothing happened. I did anything to make sure nothing happened. I would have laid my life out to make sure nothing ever happened. If someone pulled out a gun, I would step right there. That’s my big brother, but I’m his big brother, though.

What are your memories of Nas recording Illmatic? Did you realize how great it would turn out?

I thought it would be something cool that only Queensbridge people would like. I didn’t understand the music business. It took him two years to finish the album. I thought that was normal. I didn’t know he was taking way too long. When the album got bootlegged, I thought that was normal. I thought it was cool for the streets to have it first. I didn’t think it would be this. I thought it would be the little Queensbridge crew on TV real fast and then we’d stay in Queensbridge for the rest of our lives. I never thought it meant this — a future where you can be successful forever. :wow:

That's a great quote.
