19th Nov) New Nas Interview From Scratch (Speaks on 50)



Interview from Scratch Magazine

Ok, so with all this peace talk is "Ether 2" coming? "Don't Body Yourself" seemed like a tease.

To Jay-Z's credit, I respect him lyrically. And to 50's credit, I respect him lyrically, but not on a level of Jay. 50 will never be on a level of Jay so it's kind of a shift for me to switch up and do something comical, even though to MC is to have fun. But you can't just leave all that sh*t out there 'cause if you let it stay too long they think they got one on you.

You have a lot of history with 50 Cent. Is this more personal than your average rap beef?

What's crazy is that the ***** never gave me a phone call after he blew up, and as much as he was around me I never knew how angry he was. I used to have him with me and I'd see him get mad at the crowd back then, but I liked his determination. I thought it was something that would go away once he made it happen. I've seen him do things you can't come back from. Once you deal with telling the cops something, you can't come back from that. And I saw it years ago. And I had a lot of love for that dude. I ain't gonna lie, even today I wish I could get on the phone with the ***** and laugh about how you was with the Trackmasters, Jam Master Jay, and in videos with Onyx on hockey sticks, now look where you at. Any ***** that can come up deserves it, but I don't respect how he gonna be mad at everybody. I read an interview where he dissed his grandparents. I think he need to know that there's real *****s out here he can clique with and he don't gotta think it's him against everybody. There can be redemption.

I can't keep track of who is beefin' with who anymore. There needs to be a flowchart.

What 50 Cent does not understand is that Tupac was real. And I don't mean the way hip-hop *****s, industry *****s, or Internet *****s say real. I mean mind, body, and soul warrior real. Pac was younger than we are now and you still got a ***** like 50 trying to imitate him when he ain't gotta do that. When Biggie and Pac died they were younger than all of us! And 50 Cent's name will never be amongst real *****s and that's killin' him right now. But the baddest *****s have to humble themselves sometimes. From Jesse James to Jesse Jackson, the baddest dudes have to come to some humility in they life. Humble yourself
