If Nas Wrote Gettin Jiggy With It.....

[5 Grand]

It's easier to write towards a persona than it is to write for yourself if you are a honest person

Yeah but Rap is all about hyperbole and talking about shit you don't have.

Ooochie Wally like the one tolerable Nas “reaching for a hit” track.

Oochie Wally was Jungle and the Brave hearts song, Nas jumped on the remix to make it go further..

Will Smith got waaaaaay more charisma than Nas. Look at a song like Switch, I don't think Nas could make a track like that and have it come out decent.

Cuz Will Smith was the biggest star In the world

That's my point, how come Oochie Wally was so bad?

It's not bad.Song banged and remains a party go to record in 2020

Nas is a wealthy man and made music how he wanted to so why does it matter?

Every artist doesn't want to be a pop star and if you think Nas wants to be a pop star you clearly haven't paid attention to any of his music or interviews.

Some ppl either don't want to or shine with album cuts and underground tracks better than singles.

But over Nas' career he has had many records that charted high.

Nas is respected in hip hop more than Will lyrically so that's the trade off.Will is novelty act more than a serious MC.
