Death Row was still active just not no where near poppin. They tried to revive it with Lake The Kid being the main artist and Nas for Death Row East but Nas aint like the arrangements or some shyt like that…which kinda led to the rift with lakey and nas


Yeah that line he's talking about Lake and Mike Deloreon.

NaS gave lake about 6-7 looks. Mixtape tracks helped him make an album called 41st side which was lake version of an finest.

Brought him to the radio.
All types of shyt

lake never appreciated it he just expected more and more same way he had issues with prodigy. Lake has no accountability for his own actions.

In retrospect and comparison. AZ needed ONE look from NaS to get on. Bravehearts had a decent push an a album. They got paid what they did with their album I’ll never know but I know there are about 30 braveheart songs out there. They got a good push todo their thing.

quan gave NaS a hit record. A small minor hit but a hit so he got a push when it was his turn. But as usual these nikkas get around NaS and the problem is they trying to compare themselves to a legend instead of just putting work in the studio and being useful productive.
Jungle is NaS brother he always gonna be down and good regardless. Lake had an opportunity and instead of making songs with NaS, for mega, and prodigy. He beefed with prodigy, tried to USE NaS then looked like a sick rider making an album with corners over mega’s OLD beats he already rocked over. At the end of the day Lake misse just shot.

Eric B was with Death Row at the Pac meet in NY allegedly and a part of Death Row East... Eric B was moving like Suge before Suge allegedly in the industry. Not really Ra's producer just taking credit from an uncredited Large Pro and even Rakim himself. Nas used to be at Rakim sessions as Erics lil man. Eric rolled with Paid in Full Posse... Gooned Up taking Publishing before the row.
I heard Eric B bankrolled Rakims career..

Thank you this “Lake extorted Mega” shyt is the dumbest shyt spread online. Lake CANT extort Mega. First off, at the time they were extremely close friends since childhood, and Lake needed him and Mega tried to help his friend. Secondly, this whole Lake extorted Mega shyt is people overanalyzing a video clip during the album promotion where Mega look disinterested. And then nikkas turned it to “Lake made Cormega do the album”. Lake can’t make Cormega do shyt.
It's not entirely dumb. There was a rift and it's rumored that Lake extorted Mega indirectly because he was using his name to get beats from people like Alchemist and not paying. Putting dirt on Mega rep.

Alchemist also had issues with 41st side.

It's dumb if you know who Cormega is. Lake can't extort Cormega in anyway on some street shyt. If you even know Mega's background and who he's connected to, especially in Brooklyn, it's laughable to even think Lake can strongarm Mega.

Now childhood friendship shyt and abusing your relationship with someone because you know they love you, is another thing.

you taking it there because you feel a ways about people saying mega got extorted, maybe he was coerced... it doesn't mean he p*ssy. he didn't want to do that shyt or promote it... and it cause him problems what his mans did to get it done. Mega stood by him and didn't say nothing but he wasn't happy either.

I'm just saying bro, extortion is a very specific thing. That's the only reason I'm saying it sounds crazy thinking Lake can extort Mega. That's all.

I finally listened to that Death Row east song

Once again I was lied to

That shyt Kris Middleton. It’s like Nas lost his most impressive skill (detail).

Seriously what happened to Nas Lyricism? He never was overly complicated. But man his bars be type simple now

6/10

Sometimes the simplest lyrics are the best

Quick unrelated example
