Glad he set the record straight. If he was doing Nas dirty Nas would've been vocal about it over the years. But Nas has never talked ill about Serch. You have to understand when Nas came into the game he was heavily protected by Queens dudes who had skin in the game including MC Serch. He was/is a once in a lifetime talent & was shepherded thru the legal/corporate realm in a manner to ensure the business aspect of the industry didn't corrupt his craft. Peace to Serch, LP, Akinele & the others who watched over him during his infant stages in the biz. Even Steve Stoute who's known to be on snake time did right by Nas.

No what he described is the difference between being an employee and an entrepreneur.

This is about wealth buying you the time needed to STUDY THE BUSINESS. There is NOTHING inherently wrong with our people. Our circumstances have us in the same choke hold it would have any group subjected to it.

[@pipedreamism1]

[@kevm243]

The 1st half of the interview is on Spotify already 2 hours of it... its only sound though no video

[@MrSirvere]

The legend Serch!!! Absolutely a legend and certainly served the culture the right way since 3rd Bass days. Respect.

[@JayFingers]

I don’t care what industry you’re in, you need someone like Serch to have your best interests in mind.

[@enomfonantai927]

You're doing great Math and team. This is just the beginning of greater things to come.

MC Search basically helped Nas keep getting the bag off Jay-Z

[@Dolla410]

Search just shut the room down, hov fans in the room was shocked 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HARDOBREAD1]

They went quite, all of a sudden Takeover don’t hit the same 😂😂😂😢

[@kg6987]

They looked hurt 😂😂😂😂😂

[@HARDOBREAD1]

@Aaron9 facts 😂

[@lwandisovelem682]

When he said Nas owns 50% of Jays the room when silent for a minute 🤣

[@kingpinstatus916]

I agree but it was because they thought he was saying he owns 50% of Jay's over all publishing or for the whole Reasonable Doubt album. Artists have done deals like that for year's because if the song is going to become a mega hit they'll be able to perform it forever. Dead Presidents was an underground joint but when people like Puff in the early 2000's was sampling like crazy those artists being sampled where like go ahead your about to feed my Great Grandkids!!!🤴🏽✌

[@jerroldpeden9136]

It's only dead presidents song that get 50%

[@Mic-100]

Broke their little hearts.... but somehow in their mind, takeover was all facts smh wtf

[@Biggbobb]

Jay only own like a part of RD anyway. He was begging Dame for the rest. He mad Dame has more share than he does lol

[@kingpinstatus916]

@@Biggbobb As the kids say that's 🧢❗ Dame, Jay & Biggs split everything into 1/3rds. If you are a Jay hater then at least own up to it & speak facts NOT 💩!🤴🏽✌

[@coolblack1]

I love a good search interview. The man will casually give you the ENTIRE game.

[@immafoodlover6412]

Thank you Search for introducing Nas to the game. For all who don't know check out Live at the Barbeque. It's when Nas made his rap debut on a Search track. The rest is history. Much Respect to the Godson. Top 5 dead or alive.

[@TCOHHL]

This is going to be a great interview! Thanks, Math.

[@stephenjackson2912]

Jigga tried to take advantage of what the fans didn't know or understand, and MANY believed his lying ass too. Now it turns out that Nasir was far from broke, stupid, and used all this time., bravo to Search.

[@sq1ne]

Math: "What was that 2% worth?" Now Math 😒... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know Serch wasn't doing that shit!

[@weshouser821]

Not much really. 2 percent of 100 million listens per year would be about $4000-$8000 dollars per year from spotify they are robbing boys.

[@bagtalk9739]

Right. Serch still a Jew 😂

[@romulus_]

@@bagtalk9739 it's none of our business. why even bring jew into it? what if he said "yea I don't talk specifics about my money and business like black dudes do, just to flex and have fake cred." you'd have something to say about that shit. niggas, I swear. our own worst nightmare.

Salute to my brother making great moves 💐🙏🏾💯

[@lapalma7520]

Yo, Serch is a f'n legend. I met him at an after party of a Davenport, Iowa concert in '87. That man was a good man and prolly still is. He was the only artist there that night that chilled in the hallway of the hotel with fans. He was prolly jus keepin us kids from going in to the rooms because they were smoking an all. My cousin and her friend went in, but I was too young. Either way, he is the first rapper I ever met and talked to. He worked too hard to get a chance to do something that he loves to do. I'm sure he wouldn't mess it up by f'n over the culture that gave him an opportunity to express himself. Serch has shown nothing but love and respect to hip hop and the Black community. Us as Black people are too hard on the ones that are down for us. That's why so many people bail on us. Serch is an exceptional man to still be rockin wit us after all these years.

[@topnotch9972]

I salute him for treating a artist as such. Respect!

[@Simmons0979]

This may be the best interview Math has done Great job
