Nas来到Zane Lowe的Relentless Ultra presents Soundchain节目，这位嘻哈界的传奇被问到东西海岸之争，Tupac和Biggie的争执，以及2位传奇离世后对他的影响。

Nas说：2位传奇离世，甚至让他觉得说唱历史已经结束了。

“Those two things hit me real hard, because I knew both of them. I knew Biggie more, but what they meant to the art form can never be redone, can never be replaced, And when those two guys passed away I thought [it] was the end of rap.”

Nas同时谈到了他和Jay Z过去争执，并指出如今的Hip Hop行业已经改变，如今的行业更多是为了金钱：

Today’s music industry it’s really about money now and back then during that period, when you talk about me battling with Jay, it was about something else. It was not just about being the top guy in rap. It felt like we were leaders of nations. Not that we were egotistical as, “I’m the leader.” No, not in that sense. I mean what you felt surrounding us was – there was an importance in what we were doing that mattered more than just success.

It was more than just, “Oh my record’s going to sell,” or… Yeah we need the records to sell to make money. That was something we thought about, but put that aside. When Pac made “Dear Mama,” and these records and then he had to switch up to get in war mode, these were chess moves. This was real… today it’s a whole other world. I’ll just leave like that.
