This interview caused Sauce Money and Nature to diss each other.

Wasn't Nature living in Marcy at this time?

 

[DAT NICCA KELSO]

This must have spawned the line "Haters at an all time high comparing me to Nature"

Yup. Then Nature released Look Whos Talking. Then Sauce released and bodied Nature on Banned from the TV freestyle.

I know you love Gone In 60 Seconds just like your career

the interviews were comedy..no way Nas wasn't dabbling in some coke back then.

"Nas also recalls a recent conversation with Jay Z - It was about a year ago - at Steve Stout's party. "We were kickin' it and he told me that he's better than Biggie now. I looked at him like he was crazy. Then, he started telling me how Memphis Bleek was a fan of mine and that I shouldn't go at him. He predicted that Beanie Siegel would never sell more than 600,000 copies. He said that Source Money was to him what Nature was to me. Then, he really got crazy. He said that Tupac and DMX were not lyricists - they just had the hungry, starving street nikkas coppin' their shyt - but me and him had all the money nikkas buying ours. I told him that I disagreed with him - that Tupac was the greatest ever - period, and that DMX really brought that street shyt back into the game. Then, this slithering snake goes and does that Summer Jam bullshyt."

Anyone heard that Hov was shouting out The Firm? I wonder if that's true because if so its another case of Hov big upping Nas shyt, while claiming he only got one hot album.

not really shout outs, just references.
one on Can't Knock The Hustle isn't a really a reference to the rap group but intrepret how you want.
