Irv Gotti said something real true a few weeks back. He said that all the fans these days, instead of asking their friends, "how is that new album?" it's, "How many did that sell the first week?"
^^A lot of you are talking like Nas really gives a flying fuck about album sales. He's been in the game for like 15 years. As a rap star. Do you really thinks he needs money at all? Do you honestly think that he would sell out his art for a fucking $ or even notoriety (which he already has, MTV loves Nas)? That's disappointing and I think a lot of people talking don't have his albums and don't know what he's about. Nas signed to Def Jam because he's been with Columbia for 12 years. It's not like he wasn't happy there, but everyone needs to leave and move on, like graduation.
As far as Fat Joe, he never liked Jay at all, so I'm not surprised. These guys need to understand that Carmen as nothing whatsoever to do with either the beef in 2001 or the Def Jam signing. She is irrelevent.
