Nas: "I Don't See Enough Emcees Who Are Brave Enough To Be Honest"

[Meta_Conscious]

Put it in a Rap™

no really...

 

[_Goldie_]

Nas been sayin that shit in rap for years.

Most of these young niggas dont give a fuck or are even knowledgeable enough to drop jewels on anybody to begin with.

 

[Big James]

95% of these young rap niggas and bitches are a disappointment.

 

[Stew]

The honest are usually in the underground.

 

[L.O.S.T.]

Isn't Future being honest?

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

The problem with Nas and other vets/legends is they co-sign bullshit tho. I mean nobody told him to do a songs with the "superfriends". And those are the niggas who aren't being honest just making the same lame bullshit. Nas been saying this shit but still co-signs bullshit bummy ass rappers. And not just him Jay and Kanye do the same bullshit co-signing and collabing with wack rappers.

 

[Ear2DaSt]

[MrCrookedLetter]

I knew someone was going to say this,this has been the typical predictable response on the IC whenever NAS speaks on the state of hip-hop.

The same "buh buh but Nas did songs with Ross,wayne,etc" cmon that's such a cheap shot as long as Nas continues to stay true to his music that's all that matters. And when he does reach out or collabs with these artist yall throw stones at its not on some party and bullsh** type record its on some "accidental murders","champions","kings and queens","my generation(wayne killed it),etc

Not to compare Nas to JESUS but its no different than when he use to sit with sinners or talk with prostitutes and people started questioning him. It's 2014 and some of yall still havnt learn that everything isn't black and white. You cant put yourself on a pedestal like "oh im too good to rap with such such" cause than you become self righteous and thats one of the biggest contradiction of them all. Get out of that hiphop purist mentality cause I grew up on the golden era and I don't even think that way. Talent recognize talent thats how good music is made.

are you really using a Jesus analogy on the IC

this is beyond nas this is the biggest issue in hip hop point blank. you got niggas talking about the game ain't the same but they don't wanna name names. nas needs to call out who he thinks is not being honest. for the last 15 years people have been saying the game is wack or copycatting or these rappers don't respect the artform yet they never challenge to status quo and call out niggas.

part of being honest is actually challenging your peers to step their fucking game up. Nas does not do that. those rappers do one song with nas then go back to the same old bullshit. Its like when there is a stop to violence rally and 10 hours later someone else is getting killed over stupid shit in that same hood the rally was in.

 

[Rahlow]

That's why I listen to Blu, he is one of the most genuinely honest cats out there.

Nas did that already and all it did was create beef unintentionally cause some rappers are too sensitive and can't handle the truth

Plus every artist like NAS,CUBE,COMMON doesn't have to play the 2PAC role, calling out rappers doesn't necessarily bring about change but continuing to push the envelope within your own realm can inspire more kendrick's,coles,krit's,etc.

but thats my point excatly who cares what ties is severs they need to handle the truth. Just like these kids who grow up where teachers cant tell a student their flaws without getting in trouble them and everyone gets a trophy in little league, these rappers are hurt because nobody is challening them or beefing with them to raise their music quality. The 90's was so dope because every top rapper had to overcome odds, be competitive and be held to a standard. Music sucks now because thats gone. Everyone is your friend. Shit even Jay Z has been wack rap wise until drake made those comments and he pulled out that we made it verse. Competition honesty and accountability breeds great things.

not to mention ye in the late reg era on "bring me down" said most niggas didn't deserve his beats. Flash forward to 2014 and hes producing for lil wayne's last album and tyga as well which are at this point waste of beats.
