They turning this Nas/Jim Jones thing into something bigger on Twitter now : The Intellectual/Conscious negro vs The Ignorant/Street based Negro.

Nas could easily make club music or trap music if he wanted to. He's one of the few 90s new york rappers that can actually change his flow to match different beats.

we dont want no club or trap music from nas
we want street records

made you look, nas is like, take it blood

not try hard club shyt like summer on smash

That was low-key what this was ALWAYS about with folks on the internet/social media. It's personal with them.

Funny thing is, Jim jines is traditionally a street conscious rapper but later for the logic.

I don't know if Nas is smarter than Jim Jones, but I think his music (I find most of it to be overrated) at least displays a certain level of intellectual curiosity about the world or language (the way we talk about the world) that is just completely absent in Jim Jones' music.

I agree with @Kiyoshi-Dono in that everything doesn't need to be a think piece, especially if it's as remedial as the tweets in the OP. Complete bozo.
