I COULD GO ON AND ON. LIL WAYNE COULD NOT SEE NAS ON HIS BEST DAY, THOUGH HE WISHES HE WAS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE. EACH AND EVERY NAS ALBUM HAS GONE PLATINUM OR MULTI PLATINUM, HIP HOP IS DEAD WENT 1.2M.
THIS IS A DUDE THAT DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO BE HAVE A COMMERCIAL APPEAL. YOUNG JEEZY WAS A ONE HIT WONDER, SANTANA AND ALL THOSE FAKE GANGSTERS WILL NEVER GO PLATINUM. CASH U A FULL BLOWN IDIOT- AT UR AGE NAS HAD THE WORLD IN HIS PALM. CONTINUE UR PIPE DREAMS, U'LL BE 35 WITHOUT HAVIN SOLD 500 RECORDS. U KNOW WHY? CAUSE U AN IDIOT.
NAS HAS PROPERTIES ALL OVER THE U.S AND CARRIBEAN, HAS FLY WHIPS. CASH THE IDIOT HAS NOTHING EXCEPT A BIG MOUTH LIKE A LIL BITCH THAT HE IS.
I'LL B THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT NAS HAS NOT BEEN AT HIS BEST OF LATE, BUT LIKE I SAID HIS WORST RHYMES WOULD BE LIL WAYN'S BEST
