Jay-Z & Nas Interview Pt.1

[@hateurfate1]

i love the ending,jay says you can't sign a artist of nas stature,you can only can partner with him,thats dope!!!

[@daystar73]

Yep. Respect 101 102 103.....

[@carlosortizrivera9866]

Jay z jus keep it real wih the God son

[@eyereallymiss2pac]

Not enough respect on Nas name to be honest, but I love the intelligence of Jayz saying what he did about the East Coast Legend...you can only partner with him

[@charlesbutler1721]

Wow

[@samuelngadi373]

But he signed him though. He showed respect to Nas here but it is what it is.

[@Bamfism]

"I didnt sign NAS, I partnered with NAS...You cant SIGN an artist of NAS' stature" DOOOOOPEE!! Jay-Z giving the ULTIMATE respect to NAS! Gotta say my respect for Jigga just jumped up a couple a notches. "This is bigger than what petty sh*t people going to say" Grown ass man handling their biz. Dope. Thanks for upping this!!

[@jamesdawny1855]

Sounds like bowing down to nas. Or sounds like something staged

[@vversusv1364]

Nas is an introvert. A lot of people also say he's socially awkward (not making fun of him; I actually prefer him over J).

[@Tbatbatba88]

both are introverts

[@ALtheelectrician]

Funny you say that because Nas reminds me of me. I'm the same way, introverted and a lot of his music speaks to me

[@redfrostgaming4056]

Lol most of us are

[@unbornak47]

"It was Written" reportedly sold 2.5mil in two months, was number one on Billboard 200. If that album sold 2.5mil in two months, that album is definitely at the 3-4mil U.S sold mark. So Nas ain't lying when he said that. LOL at how Jay-z looked at that nigga though. Priceless.

[@buffalobillsfan48]

Yo Nas always has the cleanest fades i need to get put on to his barber foreal son

[@OmarScruggs]

i would say the opposite. Nas is more lyrical and Jay is more fluent flow

[@ch.illmatic]

Finally a man with sense

[@nwidumporolo5291]

I noticed too

[@clandestinedarsehole4558]

agree. Nas is the better rhymer. jayz is the better flower its like big n pac. Biggie gonna win hands down when u talkin flow n rhyming. but PAc shit is most potent, his subject matter had a bigger impact. but come on ....biggies a mc. i mean he will eat thru another rapper. long kiss goodnight biggie was really putting it on him i mean...pac lyrically couldnt sustain wit big. bigs a MC but i prefer most pacs shit over bigs even tho i think biggie is the more skilled rhymer. big was battle rapper that was first nature to big. so to rip u in a rhyme, is sum big can do real good.

[@ThumbsUpMike]

Jay Z does not seem comfortable sitting next to Nas......i wonder why......

[@calebhenderson6507]

The damage is done. His soul is still burning slowly.

[@almuslim2346]

Ettthhherred Syndrome Side effects Nas looking comfortable in his skin n seat

[@breadbreaker500]

And vice versa. This is a man that was smashing Nas’s baby mum, for a number of years!

[@dalastdon1432]

Jay-Z and Nas was a true lyrical hip hop battle, thats what its all about!!!!!!!!

[@Kevon420]

They're so different from everyone else. Like it's crazy. I can't describe it, these guys are legendary.

[@MsBayyinah]

Nasir as a man and artist is just so fucking Noble, Humble and EPIC. That is so attractive. He a KING.💋

[@NuggiezVEVO]

the last thing jay said in this made me gain alot of respect for him

Damn. Mad Jay Z hateration in the comments. They both sick. What the hell jay do to yall?

[@trizzmatic413]

Be a phony his whole career. Be a biter his whole career, be a industry snake his whole career. THAT'S WHAT HE DID! The dude stole the creative ideas of damn near everybody he's had contact with. There's so many references that I can add to this comment if you'd like.

[@Supes97]

@@trizzmatic413 He stole Big Daddy Kane & Biggie's rhymes and altered them a bit, his song "Bonnie & Clyde" has a stolen sample implemented in it, it's toni braxton's from Tupac's song "Me And My Girlfriend"

[@emmanuelmoses7249]

He's still huge. That's what he did. Never fell off, nostalgia doesn't hit the same for Jay like it does for Nas and other artists

[@GetRichAndDieRich]

"you can't sign an artist of Nas' stature; you can only partner with him"

[@JAYLOVE4777]

I like how Jay-Z said you can't sign an artist of Nas stature you can only partner with him... that just shows how much respect he has for Nas even though he's much more successful

[@whostolemyTV]

In the end you got two greats, each with their own style, each made great songs from this beef

[@Owula]

Nas was still on form around that time. The only time Nas didn't do a good job was Nastradamus. THAT WAS IT. The rest of his albums were great. So cats saying "Nas fell off" and "Jay-Z is more consistent" needs to get their ears checked. Nas is more of a poet than Jay-Z. Plus Nas speaks the truth.

[@200cc9]

Owula Hesse nigga shut the fuck up

[@Maal7432]

[@damnthisuser]

I wasn't crazy about Street Disciple either but all in all Nas discography is strong. Illmatic takes away from the brilliance of the others but just look at KZbin, youngins are starting to discover Nas brilliance.

[@jirrellj]

Dj Bruhxal Nas has a ton of respect still

[@joshuaa901]

This aged terribly 😂 Jay is now seen as a living legend. First rapper to become a billionaire & the way he’s helped other rappers when they were in trouble like Wayne, meek mill & 21 savage

[@mr.montana1384]

Love how he said Jay partnered with Nas because that's what it felt like. But people look at the negatives like Jay won the war it wasn't a war at this point once the dudes squashed it.

[@TheDavidbeckham7]

Fake.. Nobody thinks Jay won

[@justsarah3812]

If you from new york u know nas won that rap beef

[@samuelngadi373]

@@TheDavidbeckham7 he didn't win the battle but I think he definitely won the war. And it's not even close.

[@sarasonsalas3472]

Respect to both these icons, honestly during the battle I thought Ether ended it, and when Nas signed with Jay i thought career wise Jay won it, but after watching the interview and how Jay is so humble and has respect for NAS and how they explain the decision I got nothing but respect for both.

[@unbornak47]

Nas second album blew up & sold 3mil while B.I.G & Pac was alive, & dominating rap. Not too many of the current hottest multi selling rappers can say they did that. Besides, Nas has seven solo platinum albums, three of them sold 2mil or more. Dudes resume is thorough.

I mean C'mon guys Jay Z is oldschool as fuck. He kicked it with everyone. From Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie to Big L and Notorious B.I.G to Kanye West and other acts. And he still release one platinum album after another!! As a rapper, not a producer. And thats just absolutely amazing!! You gotta respect this Guy!!
