You knew Nas had to be getting some paper to make this deal happen. As long as he stays true to himself, i'll support.

I don't really understand the deal. Nas is starting to get old. The timing just doesn't seem right.
Hold on a sec. Nas is getting himself a "Jones Experience" imprint, which means he can basically turn into a label owner now? That's dope, because I believe Nas knows how to find talent. Let's just hope his Def Jam albums can live up to the hype. After the mixed feelings people had after Street's Disciple even though I loved that album, he's sorta back to where he was in 2000 after dropping Nastradamus, except for his legend being certified this time around. The status of his career should motivate him to make another comeback like he did with Stillmatic.
I don't really understand the deal. Nas is starting to get old. The timing just doesn't seem right.I think his next album will probably have some big budget glossy beats by the Neptunes, and some fine video hoe's up in the video's, and Jay-Z guest appearances, and in the end the album will flop. It will flop both commercially and critically. Nas is one of my top 3 favorite rappers of all time. However, I don't support him getting down with Jay-Z. Jay-Z puts so much into marketing albums, but I'm of the opinion that sometimes less is more.
yes b/c most people would turn down a great deal finacially to get pimped by another record deal. And some you guys have a deep seeded hate for jay. The man is a great rapper but after the nas/jay beef nas stans took it personal lol. Nas is at a point in his career where he makes most of the decisons musically. No one really knows what direction jay will take with other artists and the lable in general but most people assume he'll turn nas back in you owe me nas.
As for me hating Jay-Z cause of his previous beef with Nas, no way man, you got to understand, I'm an old-school hip-hop head. I've disliked Jay-Z ever since he came out. I didn't even like his first album, and it came out in 96' when I used to think everything on the radio was hot. I still hold the opinion that Jay-Z is an average rapper with zero charisma, who is the product of a great marketing team (and he also knows a thing or two about marketing). Even his beef with Nas didn't inspire me much because even it seemed like another marketing strategy.
