Man, this was the most promising Nas career has been in a long time. A Yeezy x Nas album had people full of hope.
Now this
Now this
kelis probably gets more from her Milkshake checks than whatever nas has. please fuck outta here
Never meet your heroes.
Yeezy got a new album coming out next month.
Probably gonna skip it now.
Everyone who was tweeting out "at least we have Nas" yesterday after the Ye stuff…you guys need better heroes.
Goddamn it. That's too much. I can't fuck with domestic abusers. And I believe her.
It's disappointing. Ye I didn't really look to for a while now but Nas is someone I had respect for.

I'm one of the biggest Nas fans in this board and I can't even condone this shit.
First Ye, and now this. I need to reevaluate the rappers I listen to

Anyone treating Kanye or Nas or anyone famous as their heros are stupid as hell. Take the music and leave the celebrity behind.
I saw Nas at a grocery store in Boston once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
when the music and persona are as intertwined... how to you separate the two?
Don't pretend like everyone has domestic abuse-level skeletons just to draw a false equivalence that makes you feel better
Thats not how this works...until today there wasnt much reason to not fuck with Nas. He made solid music and had a somewhat positive Persona.
Expecting us to behave on information we dont have or stuff we couldnt possible know is weird.
This isn't something to dismiss because you may or may not like his music. If you abuse women, you're a piece of shit. Nas is a piece of shit.
I won't do this. I won't listen to (or certainly not give cash to) personally-reprehensible artists. You have to hit celebs in their wallet. It's the only way that people learn.
A significant portion of hip hop lyricism is interwoven with the man (or woman) speaking the words, hence the value placed on authenticity
Calm down Sasuke, don't pop your sharingan. I was more making fun of how long the tweets lasted.
I feel you. But if you dont use Twitter/Instafram/Facebook whatever its pretty easy. Only interaction I have with famous people is listening to their music or seeing them perform their music. Im not looking to them to be a role model or to educate me or inform me. The music is the persona.
Lets be clear Im not defending Nas or Kanye or any other Emcee here. They deserve all the shit thats coming their way. But if you just take the music and leave the cult of celebrity/personality behind, its easier to deal with these revelations when they come out.
The root of the problem is people need better role models. Just cause someone making great music doesnt mean they are a great person. Take the art and leave the rest behind.
Exactly. Fuck outta here with that bullshit and keep the ignorant "won" jokes outta threads of this nature please.
Just sayin...i dont even f with Nas. Ill agree that loosing Kanye hurt though.
Even i cant defend him anymore lol.
You arent wrong. But there is a big difference between being unfaithful and physical abuse.
Then again this shouldnt be a dick waving contest between those two.
I feel this way too to a certain extent, but I feel like most of the problems humanity has faced from its early days are the result of men being in charge most of the time. I'm not saying women are flawless paragons of virtue, but man, I feel like men have historically - and continue to - constantly steered the ship of humanity into easily avoidable icebergs. I think it's time we let someone else take the wheel.
When the Ye news came out, everyone should have went to their true savior. Beyonce for guidance in these troubling times. :3
Jay-z use to pick up foxy brown from highschool when he was like 27, dude is no angel.
Is it though? I think the time of authenticity is long dead. Back in the 90's yeah, authenticity was everything. You didn't bite others style or lines. Nowadays its all products. Rick Ross wouldnt have survived the CO thing in the 90's.
Hell its universally known Drake is the biggest rapper on the planet right now and he doesn't even write his own lines.
I treat hip hop like characters on a TV show. Im not getting mad at Idris Elba for killing Wallace.
Nasir Jones is a fucking scumbag yeah, Im not debating that at all.
Oh, for those who may have missed my reference
He can add himself to his own song. And Jay's cheating ass too.
I hope so. Burn it down if need be.

This feels obvious. Question is if anybody will really care.
I hope people realize you shouldn't have idols by now.
