This is why Nas is truly one of the greats. Putting ego aside and showing love to those who pave the way before him. Nas ain't money and nonsense. Dude is a rap historian and always pays respect to those who came first. In a genre where most just care about the next best thing he shows genuine love for hip hop in a way few rappers do now a days. Shout out to the Beasties too. They showed the world hip hop wasn't the color of your skin, where you're from, or how hardcore you are. It's a way an expression of who you are.

[@grantprice4456]

Thank you for this info. Awesome!

[@modelcitizen1977]

I was at this show. I went expecting a great show from the Beastie’s and the headliner Phish. Phish was great, as expected, but the Beastie Boys stole that show. Mixmaster Mike, that set, that energy. Literally the best live show I’ve ever been to. And then they brought out NAS. And dropped this absolute monster of a debut. I cried like a baby. They went out with a bang, man.

The whole verse is literally mocking rappers who pretend to be hard by rapping about gang violence. The whole point of the song is everyone wants to be a rapper and rap about tough shit, but they have lost the love for the actual music. "To many rappers not enough MC's".

It was supposed to be the first show on their tour that summer, but unfortunately MCA was diagnosed with cancer soon afterwards, the tour was canceled, and the Bonnaroo show with NAS turned out to be their very last.
