Let's just say for the sake of argument that this is Jay's new way of staying relevant and controversial - let's just say for the sake of argument that he has no ties to any nefarious organizations and believes none of the jive he spits in the booth - let's just say he's doing all this only with the underlying purpose to be talked about on the internet and in barbershops...
...either way, it's **@**+' lame.
Hey not to be the guy that gets on some Nas vs Jay +%%* again, but the fact that I've spent the last couple weeks listening to Mr. Jones try his best to wake his people up on the masterpiece of an album we know as ''Distant Relatives'' speaks volumes in comparison to Mr. Carter play around with this ''Paranormal Activity'' bull +%%*...
...rewind to '98/'99 and you see yungin' wasn't lying - ''much success to ya', even if you wish me the opposite. Sooner or later, we'll all see who the prophet is.''

But a lot of times, cats just don't listen or try to seek knowledge for themselves, just going on with life like robots doing what they're told. Truths falling into deaf ears, people being put to sleep, steadily rocking to the beats. It's quite sickening.Originally Posted by I AM KNOWLEDGE
I haven't had time to post on NT these days, hell I don't have time for much of anything, but Haze, I'm sure you have a lot going on off of NT, but you really need to write a book. Fact or fiction, if you scribed your thoughts on this current situation, the $#+@ would spread like hot cakes g. I enjoy a lot of what you post, and it's obvious that dudes really value what you have to say.
Respect
at least set up a blog...Originally Posted by I AM KNOWLEDGE

I think a lot of these artists are trying to walk a tight rope (word to Janelle Monae's song) between saying what they want and what they are required to say.
With that said, I try to judge people off of their actions and the quality of their work and Nas has dropped a lot of s_ that seems to be genuine and uplifting.

Sometimes we just accept things without giving any thought to why they are there are what they represent.
Remember the Tootsie Pop commercials...
Lil homie went to the owl in hopes that he could answer his question because of Mr. Owl's vast intelligence.
The owl represented something.
If I told you that the owl has always symbolized time and wisdom since ancient times, you would be able to easily accept and come to terms with that but when I tell y'all the back story of a rap line, y'all get up in arms.
Ain't no need to get spooked out over new found info...especially when its really thousands of years old.
Knowledge can take you for a ride on the Wings of Time...
and you too can be a "...man of the HOUR"
