After almost 30 years after his debut, this question is being asked? I think if this was raised after It Was Written then it might be something. Right about now, I think dude is just putting out music just to do it, dont think its about sales or impact. Really its about who, though, ofcourse it has impact to Nas fans, but to top 40 radio listeners probably not. Since dude worrying about impact, though, that album or whatever he doing with Jim Jones better have the streets of fire and all over the radio
