NATURE: “ I WAS ROBIN AND HE (NAS) WAS BATMAN… “ WHERE DID IT GO WRONG??? 

On mixtapes, Nature was Robin. AZ didn’t really hop on mixtape joints cus he already had a deal. Nature was tryna make noise cus he didn’t have a deal.

@@mearllee3511 that’s a fact AZ was signed to EMI

I always looked at it that way too, maybe AZ was Nightwing and Nature was the 2nd Robin

Nah Nas had nature everywhere and on everything at the time.

Same

called him the maintenance man 🤣

😂😂😂 very true. Glad Math found his footing with the podcast game and battle rap before it, but his music is complete trash.

Crazy they is the only claim to fame. Surprised he didn't go the love n hip hop route. He got gassed on his potential. Should have secured a bag 🎒 fuck all that pride shit

True

✈✈✈

* yawn *

That’s y dame was really the guy… HE MADE SURE EVERYONE GOT THE LOOK THEY NEEDED TO BLOW UP

@@pabloguevarra2227 FACTS!!!💯

So basically Nas needed a Dame🤷🏿‍♂️ but the ROC broke up too lol

@@thefreakyrobber0 You are missing the point. Nas came in as an individual artist where Jay came in with two partners with a business model! And they turned that business model into a very lucrative company! Nas did not have a Dame Dash that was a visionary,business savvy and made sure that the artist they were signing were getting maximum exposure. Nas didn't have that at all when he started and that's not his fault....Yes years later Roc-A-Fella fell apart but look at the success that MANY of 'THEIR' artists had,not associated artists! AZ was an associated artist that got signed to a deal,Nature also was an associated artist of Nas that was signed...truth be told and it is a uncomfortable truth: If you have a talent,you are responsible for the outcome! You are only worth your weight in gold and the amount of work that YOU put in.

@@jaycavalli600 thank you

..|| 🤦🏾‍♂️ bruh! I think I’ve watched 3 clips & they all have Nas in there .... then again his story is very closely linked to Nas .... but still the homies could’ve been more intentional about not making it about Nas ....

Anytime Nature gets interviewed, Nas comes into the equation 💯

If it won’t for Nas we wouldn’t be watching interview. He ain’t come out on his own . Just like AZ will be asked about Nas forever . But his success wasn’t based around Nas . He was on his own unlike this bum

It's a Vlad interview tactic. Invite a guest on and ask them about someone else the entire interview.

Your breakdown needs to be the official explanation across the internet whenever folks search: "Why didn't Nature sign with Nas?"

Valid point

Correct.

He's not blaming Nas for anything. He doesn't even want to talk about Nas. People just want to know if Nas is a funny acting dude because all of the greats that were coming up with him got shelved. Nature, Az, Cormega, even Quan corny a**. Talkin' bout that was his protege. 😒

@@mirumotsuyasuke8327 I never said he blamed Nas. I said "succeed or fail on his own merit (than) years later blaming Nas" so I’m basically saying he took his destiny in his own hands and made the best move given the resources he had at that time. He didn’t wait but capitalized on the opportunity while it was there. For better or Worse.

I mean wouldn’t you be? Lol

Correct. Son was in position but fumbled it. This is Memphis bleek losing Jay-Z cosign. 😭😫🤣

@@heybuddy7789 only difference is that Bleek still part of the camp just going a different route by being involved with Jay Z's liquor brands.

@@BrotherMan1969 F A C T S

@@BrotherMan1969 facts that's what I meant by it

Frfr bro

That’s what people fail to remember. Nas didn’t have his own “label” situation until the 99-2000.

Exactly forget about that when they say Nas held everybody back. He was artists himself wasn't ready to have artists under him. Worse thing rapper do is sign to another artist who's still bubbling you getting pushed to the side

@@354allday Rubbish, Nature has already admitted how Nas was teaching him the game, showing him how he was going to help him make long money, but Nature wanted the quick cash and wrote a album quickly so he could get the bag quick. Nature's problems are all his own making not Nas.

@@ChiChi-jg1ch What exactly does your comment have to wit what we said? You're talking about Nature's faults we're talking about Nas youth in the game which prevented him from handling another artist has a label head.

Facts

He had beef with Mega and they knuckled it out.

nas already spoke about this

Nah, Nas is good, Nature is living with the consequence of words and actions. Leave the past where it is.

I'm From South Florida But Peace To You For The West Coast Shout Outs!

😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ask Big Noyd how that played out

It would have been but it wasn't gods will. Plus QueensBridge is divided into 6 blocks, different gangs/clicks, many different big opposing families etc.

The crazy part is just as QB was blowing up- the stupid execs at that time would be telling them to change their sound and go commercial. Case in point: The Firm album. EVERYBODY wanted hard body mafioso music. Instead, that album was all over the place & sounding CRAZY. Lol

At the time mobb deep had a lot on their plate. Establishing them selves and trying to put their artists and affiliates out.

@@mearllee3511 True. But Nature had a bigger buzz. But a few of Noyd tracks was hard.

Right

AZ and Mega was already solid fam. Nature was still on the porch

Nas dropped the ball with Mega. AZ basically did what Nature did and went his own way. He dropped the ball with Quan. Bravehearts was a bad experience. Nas music CEO resume is trash.

@@halfamic 50 was under Nas too and left cause he saw Nas didn't want no artist under getting more spotlight or the same as him. It's also why he did gunit the way he did in pushing banks and Yayo to go big and get platinum records themselves. He ain't like how Nas hindered jungle and them growth in the brave hearts which could have been bigger if Nas gave them the space to grow instead of been all on them. Az, mega, nature not been big or as big as they could have been is not a coincidence. Lol. And they weren't wrong in going their own way. Mobb deep did more for QB artists than nas lol.

@@crazykenbei Form watching Nas' demeanor and interviewing, he's not much of a leader; which is okay. He seems too passive. Even though he has had success through business, it probably was most likely as in investor and face. Nature did the right thing, he just didn't have the drive and heart to get through it.

@@halfamic nobody want to say it cause of the caliber of an artist he is but Nas is a snake of a businessman. “Nas is a great artist, but he’s not a great businessman,” said Quan. “This is where different fallouts happen.” Quan’s deal with Atlantic was worth $2.2 million and entitled Nas with at least $220,000 from the signing. Afterwards, Nas gave Quan a 7-album deal and attempted to walk away with 50% of his publishing. The deal also charged him $50,000-60,000 for a Nas feature, even after he “just sold him a hit record for almost little to nothing.” “I remember us beefing over that,” Quan added. “‘No, you’re not getting 50% of my publishing. You shouldn’t get none of my motherf**king publishing. I just sold you a hit record. I didn’t cost nobody no money. I made money for everybody. The f**k you mean you want 50% of my publishing. N*gga, you crazy.’” It's also why he was mad at nature cause they wanted a cut of that deal. Papoose almost signed with Nas but kay slay told him no cause he was mad Nas ain't appear in a music video for a song they did together after promising to which I'm sure cost in business opportunities haha. Nas greedy with the money 😂. Don't forget he was heavily trying to blackball cormega but cormega was making serious paper independent and could not be filtered which used to piss Nas off heavily. Haha. Prodigy also had a bunch of stuff to say in his book lol. But yes Nas is very curated about his imagine and he comes about.

No doubt

Nas was not ready to put anybody on back then,he had Mobb Deep living next door but he didn’t even help them

Too many Chiefs not enough Indians

@@Am77-007 they blew up around the same time. He wasn’t far ahead of them

@@Am77-007 mobb deep had a deal before Nas

You sound like Nature was supposed to be Nas little man like bleek to JayZ. Nature has more talent than that. He took a chance and it just didn't work. I respect it.

I’ve never heard a soul say math was lyrical lol

@@blackjesus4525 deadass lol

Puff was just gassing him up. Nothing serious. Gotta butter niggas up first to get em to sign over all their publishing, royalties to Justin Combs Publishing lol. Puff's a master manipulator, obviously.

Nas is a great artist Not a great leader Hes like how Durant is w basketball

Str8🔥 🔥 🔥

out of those 3 Nature was the one that couldn’t deliver at hot single Nore had super thug summer 98 Nas had hate me now early 99 Nature had nothing Nas even threw him a solo slot on the QB album the song was ok but wasn’t IT

As a Brooklyn nigga i must admit Queens had the city on fire 🔥 lol

@@Synchronite factz...i was a big QB, Queens head back in the late 90z/early 00z and I'm a B-X dude

@@MrWARBUCKS24 Nah "Ultimate High" Although A Single Is Hot Though So He Did Deliver Again... Image Is Everything....

@@fairplayterrific147 ultimate high was trash and by time it dropped the anticipation for Nature was pretty much dead

The arguments were over the contract so if the contract got Mega put out and Nature the contract couldn’t be the cause of the problem like they’re to say

Exactly...its Easy For people to sit back and judge but nobody knows the truth 100% and all the details of 25 years ago when these Men were young guys ALL unsure and being taken advantage of.

Roc Marci is a different breed

Who didn’t fall off in Nas’s camp?

@@Am77-007 Dave East 😂

All of them were shady slimes like Nature that weren't trying to build long careers but get rich quick. That's not a Nas problem, that's the smash and grab mentality of QB. Quan admits that he was from the rural South, listening to flashy big record labels buzzing in his ear about how Nas wasn't going to help him and so he got himself out of the Nas contract. You don't know what you're talking about.

That's not true. The Bravehearts weren't rappers they were his friends that he put on.

Actually Fall Of 2000 But Agreed....

He might not have the bread or insurance to get them fixed.

i been saying that, he is looking crazy!!!!

Nature's problems are all self inflicted, not Nas at all. He's not taking responsibility for how snake like he was moving for years, going behind people's backs. Trackmasters weren't calling him non stop, they weren't trying to ruin their relationship with Nas one of their biggest clients. Nature's selling y'all twisted stories, he's not a victim but the perpetrator.

@@ChiChi-jg1ch well, yes, it was obviously all Nate’s decisions and choices , but Track Masters were still calling him, and tried to persuade him to do his own thing

Nature had that gift of gab

Hindsight 20/20, Nas ain't really have the team in position to push and I bet nas would say he couldn't have pushed nature the way he needed. Idk if the business savvy was there at that time because he still was a active artist himself.At the time Nas was established in rap but he wasn't mogul status like say puff or Russell Simmons. Who knows what would happen. But it's obvious nature didn't have proper representation so it is what it is.

Nas ain’t have no damn money to sign him!!

It’s not about the money.. Nature was supposed to smoke a L with nas and ask him what he think so he not in the dark.. but he a weirdo so that nvr happen

@@Cr1ngeK1ngs man you weird if you think a man suppose to not think more about his financial situation but more only another man’s thoughts. Tf ?

Nas didn’t have anything for him to sign to

Lmaooo💀

Nas has no explaining to make. The fuck is wrong with you. Nature has no explaining to make about his past decisions neither ! It is what it is. Nobody knew how things will turn out. Everyone tries to do the best for their career. Sometimes you get it right sometimes you fuck up. It's called life

Nas ain't got to explain a dude fumbling his opportunity. Nature needs to take accountability for his actions. He should've never signed to Trackmasters. That was his decision.

@@heybuddy7789 Signing with Trackmasters wasn’t the problem not putting any effort was his problem

@@MrWARBUCKS24facts too

Very apt comment 👌
