DJ Khaled dropped his star-studded Khaled Khaled album on Friday (April 30), which featured Nas, JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone and several other notable acts. Of course, “Sorry Not Sorry” featuring former rivals JAY-Z and Nas set the internet ablaze following its release.
Khaled wisely capitalized off the buzz and shared a behind-the-scenes moment on Instagram when Nas and Hov had a little FaceTime action in the studio. During the conversation, Nas jokes hearing JAY-Z’s bars made him want to revise his own.
“Alright, I’m just here tweaking lines and shit,” he tells JAY-Z with a smirk. “I’m in here, curating, rewriting four bars here and there … oh no no no. I gotta come back [laughs]. Yo bro, this is one. The queen at the end, the harmonies, that gave me chills … this is definitely one for the books.”
JAY-Z, who is nothing but smiles, nods his head and says, “Now that feels good. It feels great.”
But according to DJ Khaled’s caption, Nas didn’t actually rewrite anything.
“JAY and NAS on one record has been a lifelong dream! And I’m so glad it happened the way it did!TRUE brotherhood! Amazing energy! And love! God was in the booth, on set, and all over this ALBUM! By the way no lines were changed it was PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL. I hope this inspires everyone to come together, celebrate each other and to be the LIGHT!”
Nas Fans Come For His Head After ‘Cryptocurrency Scarface’ Lyrics
“Sorry Not Sorry” elicited some strong reactions across social media, in particular Nas’ line about being “cryptocurrency Scarface.”
“‘Til we all on, never fall off, hear a boss talk, you don’t hear me?” he spits. “That’s your loss. Winner in life, fuck a coin toss, I’m coin-based, basically cryptocurrency Scarface,” alluding to his significant investment in the cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. Many felt the line was lazy with former HipHopDX Editor-In-Chief Justin Hunte tweeting, “‘Cryptocurrency Scarface’ is the corniest flex of Nas’ career.”
The “Sorry Not Sorry” video has still managed to amass over six million YouTube views since its Thursday (April 29) release. Check it out below.
Hahaha, see, Nas stans? Baby money Nas had to redo his verse after hearing King HOV’s, meaning King HOV has the better verse and is still the GOAT of this rap shit. Now go ahead and cry in the comments about it. It’s the ROC in here!
You need a medal or something for your Nas hating career bruh! That’s some real dedication ??. To be honest though, Nas really shoulda changed some of his lines. He really phoned that one in.
Haha! You must be gassed up on yo own supply homeboi. LMAO! These cats are just having a laugh and complimenting each other. Its easy for your so called “Nas Stans” to say that the simple fact that Jay put together a Nas playlist is an acceptance that he know Godson nicer than him and he’d year his ass out the frame like he did before! You buggin B!
Who cares about the past beef both are grown enough to know it’s money to make Fuck hating…
That ROC sank. Those Ether bars were too heavy.
Nas is just trying to big up his brotha. Jay’s best bars were picked off of someone else’s plate. Thank the chef. Not the patron.
100’s of millions = baby money. Shit, sign me up….
Black lives matter
DJ Khaled Life Don’t Matter Tho…Fuck That Talentless Blowhard… he’s a curator not a producer.
Black crimes matter too
I just realized I ain’t sh*t and will never be sh*t
MC Shan,is that you?
Nas got baby money? Since when was tens of millions of dollar last baby money? And yeah the crypto line was a weak filler bar but I thought Jay z’s “B” was garbage as well. Big deal. Go listen to the “EPMD” song by Nas that came out this year it was pure fire plus his whole “King’s Dosease” album was better than anything Jay put in 20 years….
The two are the Godzilla and King Kong of this rap sh**. There not many rappers out right now who can touch them. These stupid A** rappers could learn a lot from them.
Song blows
the new mach hommy album is out.
He got 1 upped by jay and had to switch up. Honestly, both verses were trash. They time has passed.
Both of their verses were lazy and tired. Time for both of them to exit stage left and leave the spittin’ to the yougsters…. oh, and my man Busta Rhymes who still got it good. Straight talk, Nas has been trash on everything following his debut album. Jay has been straight trash on everything since Blueprint…
So, going by the logic of the last two sentences, you think King HOV is better than baby money Nas and would choose him as the GOAT if you were asked. Noted. It’s the ROC in here!
On Meek Mill What’s free Jay-z confirms he is the best rapper hands down with his verse
I think bars from both were really cool. They giving y’all that grown man rap.
Can see all these kids talking shit here.. When lyrics go over their heads, and they dont understand it, they say trash.
