Why Did Nas Get a Pass for Dissing Whitney Houston on “I Can”

[Stick Up Kid]

this was vicious.. even had Bobby Brown respond and talk some shyt until Nas’ goons chased him out the BET Studios back in 2002 during the “all access” shoot for Made You Look.... there’s footage of Lake, Jungle, Wiz and them laughin and mockin the nikka


Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person
Gotta astrung off that heroin
Cocaine, sniffing up drugs, all in her nose
Coulda died, so young, no looks ugly and old
No fun cause when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
Cause she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing

Remember when Nas rhymed about OP?

Yo, dude is 31, living in his moms crib
Ex-convict, was paroled there after his long bid
Cornrows in his hair, still slinging, got a crew
They break his moms furniture, watching Comicview
Got babies by different ladies high smoking L's
In the same spot he stood since, eighty-five well
When his stash slow, he be crazy
Say he by his moms, hit her on her payday
Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared
They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds
So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years
Sitting on, different benches like it's musical chairs
All his peoples moved on in life, he's on the corners at night
With young dudes it's them he want to be like
It's sad but it's fun to him right? He never grew up
31 and can't give his youth, he's in his second childhood

He didn't get a pass, twitter wasn't around an no one could do shyt to him.

Was he wrong?

Her life should be used as a cautionary tale. Putting it above criticism will only increase the number of fools who have to try and learn from their own mistakes before getting put 6ft under.
