It looks like the end of a hip-hop rivalry.
A couple months ago Kanye West pulled off collaborations with both Jay-Z and then-nemesis Nas on Late Registration.
In an interview with MTV’s Sway, West admitted to putting Nas on the track behind Jay’s back.
“Good music can break through anything and maybe start to break down the wall between two of the greatest MCs that we have,” he said.
MTV News detailed the event, noting that “this is what Tupac and Biggie never had a chance to do.”
The fans in East Rutherford roared like the spectators at the Roman Coliseum after a gladiator finished off an opponent. Although both Jay and Nas maintained their composure and avoided cheese smiles, you could tell that under the b-boy cool, they too were taken aback.And the walls came tumbling down.
Makes you proud to be a hip-hop fan. Now we have to see if Nas signs to Def Jam and whether they finally do an album.
