This.
I remember a cat sayin' on SOHH way back, that none of these kids cared about Nas until he had issues with Jay. Their hatred for Jay made them love Nas. If you were a SOHH vet back then, you remember Nas used to get shytted on daily in there.
He became this champion for so many kids who wanted to go against what they saw Jay standing for. They resent that, and they assume Nas does, so they've pledged allegiance to Nas. It's corny. The stans don't realize that Nas himself said a couple years ago, that Hov can't be stopped and that him takin' over was inevitable. I fukk with the true Nas fans, the ones from way back. Not these new ones.
