@@ballingliketheraptors7041 and that makes it sadder. Jay-Z says in 86 he'd be Rakim. They're the SAME age!!! Real talk, if biggie hadn't died, we'd never known about Jay-Z. He is to biggie as AZ is to Nas
It’s almost gay when a dude wanna hit the female that you’re dealing with. I know dudes who’ve seen a girl wayyy before i started dealing with her and never looked at her but now that me and her have a situationship, you find her attractive 🤔😂 Hilarious
Look, ya'll can be mad and say she thinks too highly of herself, but she had 2 legends Nas and Jay legit in their feelings and fighting over her, she is the catalyst of the hottest hip hop beef ever, and she had Allen Iverson, the hottest NBA player at the time. This woman was LIVING. She has every reason to think she was the shit at the time. SHE WAS!!! Her social life was fascinating as hell. She was getting it poppin just like these guys were. Everyone involved in the situation was a hoe, not just her.
If you look back at this interview, and now see how everything came to fruition Carmen told the 100% truth. She was dead on point about a few things especially the battle and everything surrounding it.
What irritates my soul is the fact that she's trying to come off as this voice of reason to try and intervene to keep the beef from going as far as it ended up going. Like really😒😔
Comes across as highly narcissistic I know this is her interview but she keeps inserting herself in the middle of every story lol she’s crazy af is what I got from that
Watching this interview after the Kelis “Hollywood Unlocked” interview and Nas has one helluva personal life. No wonder why he’s extremely distant from the limelight. He got baggage
People stop!! Just because he’s Nas, the things he has portrayed to women left scares and regrets. Now, it’s no shame in making mistakes, however ego, arrogance and insecurity makes him appear a little differently. Ask yourself this, would you want him or Jay Z to date your daughter? Ummm Hell No!!!!
Malcom Bowser you are so right. He dug this negative bitch up, with her trouble starting ass. They could be talking about grass, he will be like "So, Justin Bieber..do you think Nas likes grass?"
A wmn in general has no wisdom and loyalty. That is why you dont find many wmn in the army. They are quick to switch on their loyalty..and only a foolish man can tell a woman all his secrets. I trust a wmn as far as l can throw her..so ja
MerKaBa_318_ I’m sitting here like 😑😑😑 Dorothy Dandridge was Carmen too, was she involved in the beef. 😩😂😂 stay making Beyoncé revelanr in things she has nothing to do with.
I’m thinking she fucked Cameron too. She was way salty about this dude. Like he was that one dude to treat her like the whore that she was and called her on her own bullshit.
She’s very attractive. It’s funny I feel like if you’re not a certain type of “sexy” or “beautiful” peoples eyes and brain can’t even process you lol she’s a baddie and her personally shines.
"Bitches left me ‘cause they thought I was finished Shoulda knew she wasn't true She came to me when her man caught a sentence Diamonds are blindin', I never make the same mistakes" Nas
She wasn't the main reason for the beef but she added gasoline to the fire. Jay-Z is a competitor. He felt like nas was slipping as an artist so he challenged him to come back like he started with Illmatic. Little did he know once u make nas mad lyrically he will show u up.
I agree 💯 , well actually she was & still is pretty to me (see her old pics) Just from hearing her talk about her Spiritual plight , made me think off the back , she probably turned Vegan cause of how small she look IMO😉...
I remember in High School telling people years before Takeover came out that Nas & Jay-Z didn't like each other and people looking at me crazy. I remember when Takeover came out feeling vindicated. Nas took a shot at Jay-Z on his album I am when he said niggas claim to be the King of NY, it ain't about that. Jay-Z said after Biggie died he was the King of NY and Nas didn't appreciate that.
So what? I mean I haven't commented but you really CAN'T make any type of relevant comment if you DON'T watch it. And it's the things that SHE SAID that making people say what they are saying.
Except when she was screwing Jay Z. She forgot all about that part. She actually got mad at Nas for signing with Jay Z. The audacity of her to say that they made up to show the world that they weren't beefing over her.
I disagree on her take on Supa Ugly, the level of disrespect Jay threw at Nas would've had most dudes trying to kill that man. Callin a man gay and ugly an entire song wasn't emotional, but smashing his baby mama, and he actually did which she admits, was emotional? That doesn't make sense, sounds like he baited Nas in takeover with that "you know who did you know what with you know who, we'll just keep that between me and you". Then said Allen Iverson got up in it too, that also makes me doubt her credibility of their friendship/relationship being as close as she claims it was. Jay z saw an opportunity to one up his opponent, and she doesn't seem to think she was a pawn in that. I doubt her and Jay were as close as she claims.
True she was a pawn. The beef started before her. Jay z wanted a feature from nas but has never acknowledged him, even after he gained mainstream success. He knows he’ll never be as good as nas and he’s competitive so yeah…he went at nas because he wanted to, not because of his bm. Nas knew he was trying to bait him with the bm situation, he never mentioned her in ether which I think is genius, Jayz was expecting him to because with most men it would have hit a nerve but he just clowned jay z about his looks, which jay z is sensitive about (no such thing as an ugly billionaire). Ether is a masterpiece because he didn’t play into jay z’s hand. He pulled his card and knocked the deck out of his hand. Kinda like Eminem in 8 mile. Jay released super ugly to try and get another reaction, it still didn’t work. All he really wanted was for nas to acknowledge him in the same respect he had acknowledged nas. Nas knew that and used it against him (calling my crib I ain’t even give you my numbers, smiling in my face glad to break bread with God). Not once did he mention Carmen.
Thank you. She's trying to take credit for starting that beef.... She may have been a tool used throughout the beef, but certainly not the cause. I agree with you, 100%
I thought it was because Jay wanted to use Nas sample from dead presidents and wanted Nas to re-do the sample to make it clearer and Nas declined and declined to do the video
@M Goodness True. Since we all know what most commenters secretly want is to be in other TH-camr's videos. Yeah it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that after getting in an argument with her man, she hit up his direct rival. Yeah that's got nothing to do with it. All these guys just wish they were sitting where she is.
Miserable. Jealous. Haters. Plain and simple. They are picking her apart from her looks to everything that came out her mouth...yet sat and watched the whole video. Move along if she disgusts you so much..why spew so much hate?
Her book title says it all: "When The Child Support Stops". It's a hustle. There are chicks bouncing between NBA plays, bouncing between MLB players, between Rap artists. They consider pregnancy the Nomination, and giving birth the Award. Live nice for 18 years or longer. It's a hustle.
I just love how some people whether you are male or female, have a delusional justification on cheating. Cheating is cheating no matter what perspective you see it on. “Oh it was my circle of people too.” Nooooo its not. Cheating is cheating. Also for all the males out there, you cant be mad when both individual in the couples are doing it.
After the first time I heard "black girl lost" from it was written! I knew that song was about his baby momma!! She actually sounds exactly like the girl from the skit in the intro of that song!!
“I did everything a man would do with his mother, with his niece .....”??? When talking about Jay-Z and what she did with him. I didn’t understand that at all.
@@danajacobs9097 no matter how old a man gets in life, he'll always be at his mother's feet. That was her saying she was above him to the point of knowing him like a child.
She is absolutely beautiful. What my eyes see is waaaaww. She is also very elegant. So nice to see. Her voice is so smooth as she talks. I first heard a short piece of the interview and then went to look for more and then found the whole interview. i will listen to it again later.
I here after Nay Rob book review. I heard about her book years ago. I appreciate her transparency. I think it’s better to never kiss and tell in the long run. Well, tell very little. That mystique keep people interested.
She failed to recognize that Jay is studious and recognized that he would have to learn his prey to claim his spot. He always had a plan and ulterior motive and she was a means to an end. To get the top spot one obsesses over the individual at the top. So the infatuation was a studious obsession vis-à-vis The Art of War. These triangles, insecurities included, have continued to play out in Jay’s life. To him people are actors playing a role in the production of his life. He feasts, gains the fruits of his labor, and moves on to the next prey/goal.
Nas was never at the top though. Yeah he’s respected lyrically but Jay was well ahead of Nas commercially. If anything, the beef revived Nas’ career because people were saying he fell off after Nastradamus.
@@MR12AMAZINGDUMMY WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT NAS WAS THE FIRST OFFICIAL NY RAPPER TO REACH THE TOP OF THE CHARTS YES BEFORE BIGGIE DIDDY JAY AND WHOEVER ELSE CAME OUT SUMMER OF 1996 U DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF RAP THE FIRST ALBUM THAT CHARTED AT NUMBER 1 WAS THE BEASTIE BOYS LICENCED TO ILL WHICH CAME OUT IN 1987 AND THEY WERE A GROUP AND WHITE AFTER THAT NY DIDN'T HAVE A CHART TOPPING ALBUM FROM A SOLO ARTIST OR GROUP FROM NY PERIOD UNTIL 1995 2PAC WAS THE FIRST OFFICIAL BORN FROM NY BUT HE WASN'T EMBRACED BY HIS BIRTHDAY STATE AND DIDN'T CLAIM NO BORO SO NAS WITH COMING OFF OF A MASTERPIECE CLASSIC 5 MIC RATING PERFECT SCORE ALBUM. HE FOLLOWED THAT WITH IT WAS WRITTEN WHICH NOT ONLY TOP THE CHARTS HE WENT MULTI PLATINUM SO NAS ALBUM SALES SHUT JAY DEBUT ALBUM REASONABLE DOUBT OUT BUT RD JUST DIDN'T SELL WELL IT TOOK 5 YEARS TO GO GOLD BUT THE LEAD SINGLE DEAD PRESIDENTS WENT GOLD BEFORE THE ALBUM SO PPL DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY TALKING ABOUT PERIOD THEN JAY SAMPLES NAS VOICE AGAIN ON HIS NEXT ALBUM.
Yeah nas one of the greatest rappers in history but he a lame when it comes to women, first he breeded this ho super early in the relationship then he breeded kelis who rappin bout her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, I think nas a simp
I never Knew who Carmen Bryan was even though I'm in the same age and business atmosphere but I have to say that I respect her candid truth without trying to cause an issues. Great interview Vlad, very informative.
Jay z planned this whole thing. I dont see why no one sees this... He "befriended" nas' baby momma for a whole year then finally smashed. And as soon as he smashed he wrote a song about it lol.. Are people that gullible?.. Jayz was never considered a top 5 rapper until AFTER his beef wit nas. Do the research. He orchestrated that whole thing to make sure his name was always connected to nas. Because jayz knew if his name was always connected to nas, that would elevate jayz to that coveted top5 status
She has a struggle face and a young body. She did a good job painting the picture of how she and Nas survived the hood and how hard Nas worked to put out a great album.
Many times a woman is a man's downfall like Adam n Eve. I think Carmen really loves or loved Nas, but just couldn't keep her legs closed (my opinion). I can see why Nas loved this woman. Nas hasn't found his true queen, he's had bad luck with women (Kelis.)
"Damn, look! There goes a black girl lost You should be ashamed of yourself The way you carry yourself The way you hang out all night long Doing silly things that is wrong Black girl lost"
Carmen Bryan is beautiful. It's really interesting to hear her talk about Nas and how he dealt with her during her post-partum depression. Not a lot of men would come off tour to make sure that her and the baby are okay. Carmen is a self confident woman and I am truly impressed how honest she is about her actions. Definitely a fan of Carmen Bryan due to this interview. Did she write a book?
Her book was actually good. I’m listening to it again for the second time. I felt like I was there. Very insightful. Only compliant is that it’s too low while she’s telling the story. It’s a great book. I hope you read it. She needs to write more books relevant to this.
My father taught me that ANY time 2 men fight, it is because of a woman PERIOD.... IT WAS ABOUT HER.... I don't like it personally but it is what it is. I remember all this very well.... This woman knows how to move around with or without a Nas or a Jay Z.
Good interview. But I think Carmen is giving herself too much credit. Lol Jay Z said the reason why he went after Nas and Prodigy is because they were both the best lyricist in NY. So I’m pretty sure that was Jay Z intention when he started messing with her and in that sense she is right it was about her but by Jay Z’s design. But Nas murdered Jay z on ether. 😂
Who read her book👀 Obviously Vlad didn't cause it really popped when she called Nas about her having chlamydia, only to find out he didn't have it but Jay-Z was supposed to be the only other man she was with😭
Ora Maponyane But he was the president of Def Jam at the time and he had the final say about who gets signed and the terms of the deal. Being the president of a company is a whole lot different than just being an employee.
If the premise was that Jay Z signed Nas to Roc-a-fela then this notion that Nas lost the war because he signed to Jay Z would hold some sort of weight but Nas signed to Def Jam because of L.A. Reid. LA merely informed Jay Z that Nas is coming Jay Z didnt confound that deal he was just a face to attract other artists like Rihanna, Neyo, Teiraa Marie to the label after Lyor left and they needed to take a new direction.
@@oramaponyane4616 I never commented about whether Nas lost the war or anything like that. I just stated a fact that Jay was the president of Def Jam and Nas did sign to Def Jam when Jay was the president. Anyone who holds the position of president of a label always has the power to decide who gets signed or not. Nas has been interviewed about this numerous times and he said that him and Jay talked about him coming to Def Jam months before it actually happened. It would be crazy for LA Reid to sign Nas without consulting Jay knowing that they had one of the biggest rivalry's in the history of hip hop. LA Reid is way too smart to do something like that.
@@DeMonSpencer I never said that you did. I'm highlighting a very boring notion people to tend bring up with the end result of this beef. It's just not a true premise. Lyor Cohen offered Jay Z the Presidency but got caught up in legal drama for torturous interference. When they brought LA Reid there he had all the mandate and powers. He gave Jay the position as a courtesy but Jay didn't do shit for Def Jam. All the signings went through LA. Jeezy Rick Ross Rihanna were all signed when Jay was President but Jay doesn't get credit for those signings. Google Rick Ross signing Google Jeezy signing Google Rih signing, bout how she was discovered by one of LA's guys who was on vacay in Barbados then took her straight to his office. Nas was even offered the Presidency of Atlantic Records before he went to Def Jam but he's an artist not a yes man. After Jay stepped down Nas was offered Def Jam Presidency he still turned it down. Because the position is a puppet show. It's like a political party...the party drafts the policy and the face just enacts and embodies it. Jay was a face.
@@oramaponyane4616 Someone should have told Nas's lawyer that Jay Z had nothing to do with signing Nas and nothing to do with the deal Nas signed, because this is a quote from Nas's lawyer after the deal was made "Def Jam was motivated to share profits, says Nas’ attorney, Kenny Meiselas, a partner with Grubman, Indursky and Shire, “because Nas and Jay-Z wanted to start immediately.” www.today.com/today/amp/wbna11078056 And someone should have told Nas that Jay Z had no decision making power at Def Jam because Nas sure seems to think he does in these interviews. www.billboard.com/articles/news/59903/nas-launching-own-imprint-with-def-jam nymag.com/news/intelligencer/21992/ www.nytimes.com/2006/01/23/arts/music/23rap.html www.mtv.com/news/1521356/nas-signs-with-jay-z-according-to-report/
It's sad the way people profit from our failures it was sad when he went down the list of Nas' friends who died or are locked up. Thank God I never went to the projects with my kids.
...when you can't get the artist, get his baby mama. He asking her all the questions he wanna ask Nas but can't get that interview.

That doesn't make sense, sounds like he baited Nas in takeover with that "you know who did you know what with you know who, we'll just keep that between me and you". Then said Allen Iverson got up in it too, that also makes me doubt her credibility of their friendship/relationship being as close as she claims it was. Jay z saw an opportunity to one up his opponent, and she doesn't seem to think she was a pawn in that. I doubt her and Jay were as close as she claims.
I agree with you on the part about her and Jay's friendship, she can't be that stupid...
Nate come on bro keep it a buck... Ether was a whole lot more than Nas calling Jay ugly and gay...
@@bruceleroy2335 jay z copied his style,biggie rhymes and more
Smashing other dudes baby moms is really nothing special. Been doing it for decades lol
True she was a pawn. The beef started before her. Jay z wanted a feature from nas but has never acknowledged him, even after he gained mainstream success. He knows he’ll never be as good as nas and he’s competitive so yeah…he went at nas because he wanted to, not because of his bm. Nas knew he was trying to bait him with the bm situation, he never mentioned her in ether which I think is genius, Jayz was expecting him to because with most men it would have hit a nerve but he just clowned jay z about his looks, which jay z is sensitive about (no such thing as an ugly billionaire). Ether is a masterpiece because he didn’t play into jay z’s hand. He pulled his card and knocked the deck out of his hand. Kinda like Eminem in 8 mile. Jay released super ugly to try and get another reaction, it still didn’t work. All he really wanted was for nas to acknowledge him in the same respect he had acknowledged nas. Nas knew that and used it against him (calling my crib I ain’t even give you my numbers, smiling in my face glad to break bread with God). Not once did he mention Carmen.
I like how she never spoke bad about Nas.
Because Nas would send half of queens Bridge after her 🤣
What she gonna say did he bone her rival? Get her pregnant?
vlad, you have personal issues with Nas or what? wtf!!
Tk Thierry Mann the same hate jay had for him😂🤣🤣🤣
Tk Thierry lmaooooooooo
This whole thing started because Jay-Z was mad that Nas didn't have him on Illmatic. Clout chasing before it was clout chasing.
Thank you. She's trying to take credit for starting that beef....
She may have been a tool used throughout the beef, but certainly not the cause. I agree with you, 100%
Loki Morningstar Naah, Jay was mad cause Nas didn’t give him a feature on Reasonable Doubt. He wanted both Big and Nas on it, he looked up to them.
Fact
I thought it had to be,deeper than that. Men!! I tell ya,you all are really interesting.
I thought it was because Jay wanted to use Nas sample from dead presidents and wanted Nas to re-do the sample to make it clearer and Nas declined and declined to do the video
Vlad needs to do an interview where he answers questions from us.
Yes that would be awesome! It would be refreshing to do something different
Yes like why is he so obsessed with nas
@@Karmaisabliss215 LMFAOOOOOO
Alexis Skyy looks a whole lot like Carmen Bryan. Can anyone else see it, or am I tripping? They even sound alike to me.
Kenny&Kimmi Strozier Yeah. She does. So does Lyrica Anderson plastic surgery and all!
@@infalliblebeautyandcosmeti6956 🎯
You can't do nothing but respect her for being an honest woman
Honest?...... She was slurping Nas, Jay-Z, Allen Iverson, and who else knows..... 🤣
Far from an honest woman. Wtf...you just 17
She's still a beautiful woman . Shit happens no one's innocent
I hope you get married one day and get cheated on and forgive him as you raise his love child as your own daughter
i mean she may not exactly be a role model but why is she getting THIS much hate? lol
Lord Java because she is a hall of fame groupie that was pillow talking and instigating
@M Goodness True. Since we all know what most commenters secretly want is to be in other TH-camr's videos. Yeah it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that after getting in an argument with her man, she hit up his direct rival. Yeah that's got nothing to do with it. All these guys just wish they were sitting where she is.
Miserable. Jealous. Haters. Plain and simple. They are picking her apart from her looks to everything that came out her mouth...yet sat and watched the whole video. Move along if she disgusts you so much..why spew so much hate?
Her book title says it all: "When The Child Support Stops". It's a hustle. There are chicks bouncing between NBA plays, bouncing between MLB players, between Rap artists. They consider pregnancy the Nomination, and giving birth the Award. Live nice for 18 years or longer. It's a hustle.
Hmm...I'll have to cop the book
🤣🤣🤣
I just love how some people whether you are male or female, have a delusional justification on cheating. Cheating is cheating no matter what perspective you see it on. “Oh it was my circle of people too.” Nooooo its not. Cheating is cheating. Also for all the males out there, you cant be mad when both individual in the couples are doing it.
After the first time I heard "black girl lost" from it was written! I knew that song was about his baby momma!! She actually sounds exactly like the girl from the skit in the intro of that song!!
Wow that is deep
Not that white star
Yes 💯
Xaviour Cammon facts she inspired that no doubt
Facts
“I did everything a man would do with his mother, with his niece .....”??? When talking about Jay-Z and what she did with him. I didn’t understand that at all.
Me either, I was like TF
@@danajacobs9097 no matter how old a man gets in life, he'll always be at his mother's feet. That was her saying she was above him to the point of knowing him like a child.

U get in a argument with Nas and then u call Jay-Z? 😒
That part
He was cheating she wanted revenge
She is absolutely beautiful. What my eyes see is waaaaww. She is also very elegant. So nice to see. Her voice is so smooth as she talks. I first heard a short piece of the interview and then went to look for more and then found the whole interview. i will listen to it again later.
God bless the Dislike Nation.

She was beautiful and still looks nice, just looks like she has hard some hard times, like we all have had...
I here after Nay Rob book review. I heard about her book years ago. I appreciate her transparency. I think it’s better to never kiss and tell in the long run. Well, tell very little. That mystique keep people interested.
shes lookin like some star wars alien with that hair for real
yikes haahaa lol
I think the tight hairdo makes her look more harsh. If she let it flow, it would soften the lines.
I like the hair, its cute
I read her book years ago.. I think she is telling the truth.
Ebony Williams she is..
Great book
I remember the book & still want to read it! I did hear it was a good book...
why id you read her book lol
Ebony Williams but she wasn't so nice to Nas in the book. She made him look like a busta
She failed to recognize that Jay is studious and recognized that he would have to learn his prey to claim his spot. He always had a plan and ulterior motive and she was a means to an end. To get the top spot one obsesses over the individual at the top. So the infatuation was a studious obsession vis-à-vis The Art of War. These triangles, insecurities included, have continued to play out in Jay’s life. To him people are actors playing a role in the production of his life. He feasts, gains the fruits of his labor, and moves on to the next prey/goal.
Underrated comment.
Wow I want to be like Jay. Well at least control my movie(my life)
Nas is better
Nas was never at the top though. Yeah he’s respected lyrically but Jay was well ahead of Nas commercially. If anything, the beef revived Nas’ career because people were saying he fell off after Nastradamus.
@@MR12AMAZINGDUMMY WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT NAS WAS THE FIRST OFFICIAL NY RAPPER TO REACH THE TOP OF THE CHARTS YES BEFORE BIGGIE DIDDY JAY AND WHOEVER ELSE CAME OUT SUMMER OF 1996 U DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF RAP THE FIRST ALBUM THAT CHARTED AT NUMBER 1 WAS THE BEASTIE BOYS LICENCED TO ILL WHICH CAME OUT IN 1987 AND THEY WERE A GROUP AND WHITE AFTER THAT NY DIDN'T HAVE A CHART TOPPING ALBUM FROM A SOLO ARTIST OR GROUP FROM NY PERIOD UNTIL 1995 2PAC WAS THE FIRST OFFICIAL BORN FROM NY BUT HE WASN'T EMBRACED BY HIS BIRTHDAY STATE AND DIDN'T CLAIM NO BORO SO NAS WITH COMING OFF OF A MASTERPIECE CLASSIC 5 MIC RATING PERFECT SCORE ALBUM. HE FOLLOWED THAT WITH IT WAS WRITTEN WHICH NOT ONLY TOP THE CHARTS HE WENT MULTI PLATINUM SO NAS ALBUM SALES SHUT JAY DEBUT ALBUM REASONABLE DOUBT OUT BUT RD JUST DIDN'T SELL WELL IT TOOK 5 YEARS TO GO GOLD BUT THE LEAD SINGLE DEAD PRESIDENTS WENT GOLD BEFORE THE ALBUM SO PPL DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY TALKING ABOUT PERIOD THEN JAY SAMPLES NAS VOICE AGAIN ON HIS NEXT ALBUM.
Its pretty obvious Vlad is infatuated with Nas. Vlad is a lame with a platform.
She's beautiful tho ❤❤❤💯💯💯
I came here only 4 the comments 🐸🍵👀
Same
Corey Marks 😂
We all did, big homie! 😂
he's trying to get Nasir up there
She said her taste of men started changing.
😂😂😂😂
Good one 😂😂😂😂
Yeah nas one of the greatest rappers in history but he a lame when it comes to women, first he breeded this ho super early in the relationship then he breeded kelis who rappin bout her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, I think nas a simp
Exactly, like she some high class somebody
cmon vlad why you doing this to Nas?
Exodus 1831 because he would never get Nas for an interview. So he tries to bait Nas to mention his name. Vlad is a dirty officer 👮🏻😪
Exodus 1831 vlad is a sneaky ass officer
and Destiny has to see this??? smh
True story Carmen was pregnant with Destiny when I produced “One on One” with Nas. She came to the studio with Nas. Great memories
Destiny is so sweet. I hope she doesn't turn out like her mother.
Dam
Kory Green she didn’t nas raised her mainly
That beef was so infamous... until this day it still ruins friendships. 😂
I never Knew who Carmen Bryan was even though I'm in the same age and business atmosphere but I have to say that I respect her candid truth without trying to cause an issues. Great interview Vlad, very informative.
one thing that carmen and vlad have in common is that they're both in love with nas
Vlad is obsessed with Nas.
Jay z planned this whole thing. I dont see why no one sees this... He "befriended" nas' baby momma for a whole year then finally smashed. And as soon as he smashed he wrote a song about it lol.. Are people that gullible?.. Jayz was never considered a top 5 rapper until AFTER his beef wit nas. Do the research. He orchestrated that whole thing to make sure his name was always connected to nas. Because jayz knew if his name was always connected to nas, that would elevate jayz to that coveted top5 status
great point!
Same thing is protege LeBron did in the NBA😂😂😂😂
she's well spoken in every voice can be heard
Ruthye Mcmillan as in every voice in her head???
Let me guess, she’s your role model?
She has a struggle face and a young body. She did a good job painting the picture of how she and Nas survived the hood and how hard Nas worked to put out a great album.
She was evolving spirituality but f*cked with Jayz 💀sh!t makes no sense bruh 😂
I love her..she tells it greatly and honestly...much love from NY to NY...😊
😂
Many times a woman is a man's downfall like Adam n Eve. I think Carmen really loves or loved Nas, but just couldn't keep her legs closed (my opinion). I can see why Nas loved this woman. Nas hasn't found his true queen, he's had bad luck with women (Kelis.)
Just couldn't keep her legs closed 🤣
I can't stand chics like this i feel bad for the dude's that fall for them

Carmen Bryan is beautiful. It's really interesting to hear her talk about Nas and how he dealt with her during her post-partum depression. Not a lot of men would come off tour to make sure that her and the baby are okay. Carmen is a self confident woman and I am truly impressed how honest she is about her actions. Definitely a fan of Carmen Bryan due to this interview. Did she write a book?
Yes and her book is crasy,but one thing that was messy was in her book she said his size was average and jay z was humongous, that was a low blow lol
@@LS-ub1iq Yikes ‼️ I'm going to check out the book. Thanks for the juicy information ‼️
@@verystylishordinarypeople facts I read that whole book and she said she gave nas a std
Her book was actually good. I’m listening to it again for the second time. I felt like I was there. Very insightful. Only compliant is that it’s too low while she’s telling the story. It’s a great book. I hope you read it. She needs to write more books relevant to this.
Yes, but I don't know what changed him or what had happened when Nas met Kelis. Something changed him. He's in a very dark space.
I also agree with her on Cam'ron.
My father taught me that ANY time 2 men fight, it is because of a woman PERIOD.... IT WAS ABOUT HER.... I don't like it personally but it is what it is. I remember all this very well.... This woman knows how to move around with or without a Nas or a Jay Z.
Especially, if he has a kid with the woman.
She's very honest and seems like she's completely over it all.
She's pretty. Its her shade of lipstick that's wrong for her. The right shade would really bring out her beauty even more! Enjoyed Vlad's interview.
Good interview. But I think Carmen is giving herself too much credit. Lol Jay Z said the reason why he went after Nas and Prodigy is because they were both the best lyricist in NY. So I’m pretty sure that was Jay Z intention when he started messing with her and in that sense she is right it was about her but by Jay Z’s design. But Nas murdered Jay z on ether. 😂
That tops Bad Boy Killaz!🤣
I believe JZ has Prodigy 's blood on his hands
"Scoob and Scrap"
"Those are dancers" 😆
i hope she properly thanked Vlad cuz this right here, this is the most relevance (and views) anything concerning her name will ever have
She's really believes it's all about her 👌
☠️☠️☠️ like girl
If delusions of grandeur was a person.
she speaks very eloquently
She rambles
Who read her book👀 Obviously Vlad didn't cause it really popped when she called Nas about her having chlamydia, only to find out he didn't have it but Jay-Z was supposed to be the only other man she was with😭
She looks amazing! Does she not age? And intelligence/personality to boot. I can see why NAS fell in love.
Jay Z never owned Def Jam ! He was an employee! He never signed Nas! Nas signed to DEF JAM not Jay Z
Ora Maponyane But he was the president of Def Jam at the time and he had the final say about who gets signed and the terms of the deal. Being the president of a company is a whole lot different than just being an employee.
If the premise was that Jay Z signed Nas to Roc-a-fela then this notion that Nas lost the war because he signed to Jay Z would hold some sort of weight but Nas signed to Def Jam because of L.A. Reid. LA merely informed Jay Z that Nas is coming Jay Z didnt confound that deal he was just a face to attract other artists like Rihanna, Neyo, Teiraa Marie to the label after Lyor left and they needed to take a new direction.
@@oramaponyane4616 I never commented about whether Nas lost the war or anything like that. I just stated a fact that Jay was the president of Def Jam and Nas did sign to Def Jam when Jay was the president. Anyone who holds the position of president of a label always has the power to decide who gets signed or not. Nas has been interviewed about this numerous times and he said that him and Jay talked about him coming to Def Jam months before it actually happened. It would be crazy for LA Reid to sign Nas without consulting Jay knowing that they had one of the biggest rivalry's in the history of hip hop. LA Reid is way too smart to do something like that.
@@DeMonSpencer I never said that you did. I'm highlighting a very boring notion people to tend bring up with the end result of this beef. It's just not a true premise.
Lyor Cohen offered Jay Z the Presidency but got caught up in legal drama for torturous interference. When they brought LA Reid there he had all the mandate and powers. He gave Jay the position as a courtesy but Jay didn't do shit for Def Jam. All the signings went through LA. Jeezy Rick Ross Rihanna were all signed when Jay was President but Jay doesn't get credit for those signings. Google Rick Ross signing Google Jeezy signing Google Rih signing, bout how she was discovered by one of LA's guys who was on vacay in Barbados then took her straight to his office.
Nas was even offered the Presidency of Atlantic Records before he went to Def Jam but he's an artist not a yes man. After Jay stepped down Nas was offered Def Jam Presidency he still turned it down. Because the position is a puppet show. It's like a political party...the party drafts the policy and the face just enacts and embodies it. Jay was a face.
@@oramaponyane4616
Someone should have told Nas's lawyer that Jay Z had nothing to do with signing Nas and nothing to do with the deal Nas signed, because this is a quote from Nas's lawyer after the deal was made
"Def Jam was motivated to share profits, says Nas’ attorney, Kenny Meiselas, a partner with Grubman, Indursky and Shire, “because Nas and Jay-Z wanted to start immediately.”
www.today.com/today/amp/wbna11078056
And someone should have told Nas that Jay Z had no decision making power at Def Jam because Nas sure seems to think he does in these interviews.

It's sad the way people profit from our failures it was sad when he went down the list of Nas' friends who died or are locked up. Thank God I never went to the projects with my kids.
