      I’m a Jew and I should feel bad because I’m smart and have business sense? What kind of dumb racist stuff is that? Look at what MC Serch did for Nas and how Nas has repaid him. (And I’m a Nas fan also but damn!). Don’t most rappers say: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game?”. But only if it’s in their favor, huh?

And just because he said “ I couldn’t be the Jew benefiting from the black man .” does not mean that mean every Jew in the business world is doing this. He is saying this because he knows there are some that are doing shady business, just like I know as a black man, that there other black people in business (like Puffy) who do shady business with their own people aka “Don’t hate the player, hate the game".

      A P most modern jews are russians. Not the real jews from the Bible. The word jew doesnt even show up in the bible until a few hundred years after it was written. Modern jews believe in jewish supremacy and that one dau everyone will be slaves to them when their messiah comes. Their messiah is the antichrist. Don’t believe me? Look it up in the Talmud and Kabbalah. The jewish books that were written after they rejected Jesus. Jesus is the butt of many jokes on TV because jews hate him and they hate Christianity.

      Diane V + OC came up at a very cramped time talent-wise in NYC. As good as he was/is, he was never very marketable, particularly when you had the likes of Nas and Wu-Tang. For example, as good a DITC was lyrically as a collective force, they didn't sell big. I agree that Jewelz was okay, despite Premo on the boards. Word...Life has more punch. And yes, Big L bodied Dangerous.

      He did a solid for NAS man!!! I bet that original "deal" was a rape deal and he knew that shit wasn't going to fly. Even Nas lawyer was in for the quick cash SMH!!! Damn the industry real shady for all that BS!!! The fact that he stepped like that is ULTIMATE RESPECT!!!

    • @rashaanrobertson2509
      @rashaanrobertson2509 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Tim Davis I totally agree. That’s what you call having integrity. To be honest I don’t think a lot of people would do that regardless of what race or religion they are. It’s sad that his own people didn’t look out for him but Serch did. It’s a dirty industry. Also I like how he named drop Lyor lol

    Search was the goofy member of 3rd Bass. Behind the scenes, he was a business man. Looking out for Nasty Nas. Jay-z thought Nas was getting jerked because Jay sent checks to Search's publishing company for Nas's The World Is Yours Q Tip Mix sample that was used on Hov's Dead Presidents song. But Search was only administering Nas's publishing rights for a mere 5% 10:44
