and FYI nobody actually gives a fuck abotu how you feel about it.. but he did go a bit far putting your kids names in there.. your discography is here with us that’s all we need, keep your sour feelings to yourself

DELICATE SENSIBILITIES!

ALLAH WANTS THEM ROYALTY CHECKS

^that album will teach the youth for generations to come. if you’re only as good as your last work, then i have no complaints. there’s so much education on that joint. talk about representing Hip Hop, on some “each one, teach one” shit, Nas gets the applause.

and the raw lyricism and storytelling is still arguably unmatched.

-and after what Queenz posted about the MTV jawn, Ra doesn’t have a leg to stand on. discussion over, he’s bullshitting.

You make a great argument and just to add to that, Rakim is too far of an intelligent MC to possibly take offense to Nas saying “The End” at the end of the song because the entire song was in biographical form, from stating the title “Unauthorized Biography of Rakim”; on to dedications (“my children, my child Destiny Jones, my niece and nephew…”); on to acknowledgments (“first off i wanna thank God…”); on to chapter 1; on to the epilogue (“mother was a jazz singer, nephew to R&B legend….”); on to discography (“paid in full….”); and The End, as in the end of a book. I think that shit is pure genius. Nowhere on there is Ra’s kid’s name mentioned. Maybe Nas’ brother Jungle should be mad too cuz he dedicated the book to his son and daughter. And its apparent that many of the guys commenting on this shit have never listened to Rakim’s catalogue cuz in it you’d hear FeFe’s name all through it so that was no secret. Maybe Rakim should sue Wikipedia too.

Most of the so-called criticisms directed at Nas are retarded internet acquisations or indictments that are somehwhat frivioulous. For example, Cormega saying he left the Firm because forced him to sign a production deal “because it wasnt real”. Apart from “These are Heroes” and the tax situation (which we dont even know is true) I would say most of his so-called “bitchassness” comes from bitchass niggas themselves just being bitter about him (Nature? Mobb Deep? Lake?)

But here’s where your argument is fucked up. You’ve heard UBR right?
Apart from him saying Rakim’s wife is Fifi (which he cautions with “I’mma be easy) what exactly is on the song that was so personal that required a phone call? Was he mad because Nas said he was born 68? The track doesn’t talk about his personal life at all, but just Nas talking about what he knew about Ra that everyone else knew.

There’s a huge different between that and say 50 Cent making a song about Nas’ personal life. For one 50 wouldnt be making a tribute track, he would making a diss track and he would be talking about personal stuff. That is hardly the same as Nas making a track talking about Rakim’s career and how it inspired him.

Here’s the truth: Rakim isnt bitter, he could have said that to Nas when they met face to face for MTV in 2006, but he said he was “honored”. He just seems mad that Nas said stuff that was already there (for example shouting out his album titles and then saying “the end.”. Ra must have stupidly thought that was a diss. Even though he said “until the next beginning” which Rakim said on a 2007 track “I’mm a pick up where Nas left off”)
So the only reason Rakim is saying he feels funny now is because he has an album to promote and him saying he has a problem with Nas is going to give him attention. And it has….

So no, your comment doesn’t make sense, sorry to say.
