In comparison, Nas makes music for the sake of making good music. He stays true to the art form by choice, and he knows the results of making pro-black, grown people music. He knows he's not going to sell as much as the artist who rides the "what's hot now" wave, so you can't feel sorry for him when he doesn't get the level of commercial success that the guys who are trying to get commercial success get.
Put Nas in the KRS-One, Lupe, Mos Def, Black Thought, Wu-Tang category. Not the major label, attention seeking list.
Yeah Nas gives his albums away for free so Africans can listen to pro black music while they starving. You know Nas worshipers kill me with this bullshit. Everyone one in the music industry is out to make money. KRS signed that Nike commercial deal or whatever and I guarantee that every cent went right into his check and he did not give a dime to charity like Jay has done several times. You treat him like a God but this is the same guy who left both his own moms and Ill Will moms in the projects while he drove around in expensive cars and lived in mansions. Get off the guy's dick already geez. Also the Wu-Tang has made plenty of commercial music, the RZA is scoring movies now and it get's no more commercial than that.
