This was a good interview. Some one actually interviews him about a critique. His response is well taken. It seems like if he was a completely independent artist his album would be pretty hardcore.

Yeah, but he should just admit he doesn't like Ja Rule. He should of just said "I hate that nigga. I did what I had to do to get him out of my way."

Not only did he fuck his bitch but he ended being his boss. Additionally, Jay's life is arguable much better than Nas's - he's married to Beyone and he's super fucking rich. Nas is divorced, in debt, and paying huge sums of money to his ex.LOL @ Nas losing cuz he signed to Def Jam. U reaize Jay paid him $10million up front to sign? On top of that he got a huge budget and they gave him pretty much complete artistic control there. The Def Jam label was a pioneering black owned label and a complete iconic label to any real MC, especially in New York when Nas was coming up. And he put out really dope albums there. Nas wouldn't have found a better deal anywhere. Nas continued throwin little shots at Jay well after Ether and Jay never responded. Then after Jay became prez one of the first things he does is go after Nas.So saying that Nas lost cuz he signed to Def Jam is pretty illogical.Whatever Nas was paid is minuscule compared to what Jay made.

What I don't understand is how money figures into the equation when comparing the two. Because if you want to go by those rules, then Jimmy Iovine and the real heads of the hip hop industry are winning. They have been milking rappers for all they are worth all these years. If you want to look at the hip hop industry as a "business", then yes, Jay-Z is winning compared to Nas. Jay-Z is involved in all these business ventures and companies, while Nas has focused more on releasing quality music and establishing his strength as a music legend. Nas will always be the better rapper. Jay-Z will always be the better businessman. Whoever "wins", depends on what your definition of success is. If its all about making money, then Jay-Z won. If its all about releasing meaningful music, which imo is what hip hop is all about, then Nas won. Not to say that Jay-Z doesn't have a decent discography, but his music has always been more pop-oriented and he doesn't have the same lyrical ability as Nas.
