My dear old friend Art Barr, it is both amusing and saddening to read his posts. As he slips further and further into dementia his hate for Nas only grows stronger as it is the only thing from his former life that remains. His b-boy skills have long faded, his ability to backspin is no more, he is no longer a welcome guest at open mic nights at the YMCA and he cant even get a guest spot on the new Vakill or MC Juice mixtapes.
His mother recently moved him into a home of his own in hopes that he would find peace in his twilight years, unfortunately he is just becoming more and more bitter, angry at the world for his own failures and projecting this anger at Nas. Of course Nas is the obvious choice, he is everything Art wished himself to be, he is the last pillar of true hip-hop culture in the mainstream, he has had a successful 20 year career as a hip-hop artist, he is respected by his peers, by the younger generation and by the great pioneers of hip-hop and of course, KRS One is a Nas stan and dedicated a song to the GOAT Nas.
Art, I am saying this not to upset you, but because I want you to understand that it is ok and that you are not alone. You are just like the rest of us normal everyday people. There is nothing wrong with that. We are not hip-hop superstars who you need to impress, we are just like you, we love hip-hop and we love to share our views. Please join us
