NATURE: “NAS DREW A PICTURE OF ME THAT WASN’T TRUE!!!” NATURE ON HIS FALL OUT WITH NAS… 

"There's friends I only see once a year Nothing's changed, love is there Some brothers you outgrow You leave 'em there" - NAS.

“I get p*ssy with my father features, puff heavily/ see me at 6’1 weight a buck 70” idk why I can never get them bars out my head all these years later

“Nature moved to Marcy… nothing left to say man nature moved to Marcy”

Nas put nature on the firm with Dre and gave him countless features. Helped him land a solo deal. How many assists did he need? He said himself, he was moving slow. Large professor gave nas one feature and he did the rest. Like nas said, " I can't hold your hand through this shit, I'm not your father!!" lol

Nature talking like The Riddler

It's kind of unfortunate that Nature isn't taking any accountability for his actions or inaction, and not being forthcoming with what's really real. Situations like his don't just fall apart from nothing! He was in a great position to do some big things in the industry, and I feel like the parts that were in his control, he squandered.

"Fast money fools, it doesn't win". I hear that, I felt that. Best quote so far.

Nature speaking like he don’t want no kinda Nas issues. He doesn’t want to voice what’s really the problem because it will only rehash old wounds and open up more Queensbridge politics. Damn. You can tell he’s uncomfortable talking about it 💯

Nature and Half a Mil is two highly I mean highly underrated MC's ever

Lol Nas embarrassed everyone he dissed in his Slick Rick flow in Destroy and Rebuild. Great track

Nature talking in circles, all these conversations was had and people spoke on this back when it was happening. All you got to do is pull out any copy of The Source or Rap Grid or Blaze or whatever back around the time that nature's album came out and people were saying that he put out a dud. Nas told nature, he told him to wait for him to come back and don't do the album with Trackmasters. Nas said he had a plan for Nature and all he had to do was wait for him to come back from overseas and Nature's album was going to sound like an extension of what Nas was doing and have all hands on deck to make it a classic album with beats from LES, from Preem, maybe one or two from TrackMasters, probably a couple Havoc beats, Q-tip and so on, Nas wanted to do the album the right way. People forget that when Nas took 50 on tour 50 was still on Columbia records, it wasn't about Nas choosing to take 50 over Nature, it was the label making a move to keep the buzz going for their most talked about new artist at the moment. Nas was working with both of them but Columbia records wanted and felt like 50 should be the focis and all Nature had to do was be patient and become the third head of Columbia records three-headed monster (before they dropped 50 and he signed to Shady) but he didn't listen and took matters into his own hands and dropped a dud. He has no one to blame but himself for the way things turned out. Big Noyd came up under Mobb Deep and he didn't jump out the gate and do his own thing, he was patient twice, he was doing his first album and getting buzz then got locked up and the label put out Episodes of a Hustler with little promo but it gave him even more buzz in the streets and he came home anf he waited for havoc and Prodigy to figure out his journey for a second time and to let him loose and tell him it was his time and he put out his second album and found a lot of love and got a lot of play on the radio because he was patient and let Havoc work out the vision the way he saw it for Noyd. Nature is a legend, nothing can be taken away from his legendary verses a d contributions to some of the greatest tracks during the golden era of rap but he also made bad decisions and didn't let the universe take him to where Banned From TV and Sometimes I Wonder and Projects Too Hot and 5 Minutes to Flush was gonna put him. He could have been at least to Nas what Bleek and Beanie was to Jay... But he blew it and never found his way the way the Cormegas of the world did. Salute to the legend though, coming from a Jamaica Queens kid who was rooting for everyone from Queens to win back then but then Nature moved to Marcy 🤦🏾‍♂️

“Ayo regardless of rain or snow, sleet or hail. I kick street tales. Chokin n’s like I’m Sprewell” Effortless. Nature was so damn cold man.

Nas stopped speaking to Nature because he signed to Tone & Poke behind Nas’s back, all the while, Trackmasters trying to use Nas to get Nature hot. So Nas was like , fuk y’all , fuk that & fuk this. I’m out. Now you out.

We ain’t friends came out before Destroy & Rebuild. Nas was responding to it.

“Nature moved to Marcy” -Nas

Nature pen always been crazy despite the road blocks great to see him in good health

I was young durning that era, these interviews are NEEDED. Most people only bring up artist in a music sense, we need to hear these stories from the people up top to those who might have had a small run . Bless y’all for blessing us w/ these. Straight up, don’t ever forget the people cause the people are the ones who push others to the top! The guest and the conversations about life in general and shit are excellent. Don’t ever stop doing that !

I can’t even lie. Nature was and still is one of the nicest dudes that came outta Queens. 💯

God damn…This pod is on a “Hov-level” run right now They pickin’ the guest you didn’t even know you wanted to hear from💯

Prodigy’s Hegelian dialectic album is the epitome of what true hip hop is, everything else is just music and bars

For All Season was one of the best albums out of their collective We Ain't Friends still goes hard

getting goosebumps when you guys talking about this era cause i was there and had to know this. thanks math and the crew

One of his best verses was on AZ's "love is love" track.

Five Minutes to Flush was Underrated tho, From the concept, title and Whodini Sample of Five Minutes of Funk

Nature was on 2 of my favorite songs of all time: "banned from TV" and "fantastic 4 part 2". He is forever goated in my book 🙏🙏🙏

Bro NUFF RESPECT for bringing Nature on here!!

You can tell this is a touchy situation and he’s trying hard not to elaborate. Sound like the wrong statement could re-stimulate old drama…

🔥🔥🔥 Hoffa got the best show going

Nature gives corny interviews while drunk.

Nature ain’t keepin it a 💯 . He needs to take accountability. He dissed Nas first

Nature knows exactly why him and Nas fell out, he was tap dancing, I think everyone in the room felt it..

Keep em coming 💪🏿💪🏿

Man nature had so much potential and I believe it’s the lack of motivation on his part. He ain’t giving no real answers to why he has beef with nas

Nature did have the record “We Ain’t Friends” which Nas felt was directed at him.

Yo math u goin crazy on these interviews💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Yo math 🧮 you coming with the heat 🔥 1st Mero now Nature can't wait for this full interview

It was a few things with Nature. Nas made it clear in a interview. He said when Nore blew up Nature started getting jealous of Nore saying Nore was basically wack.....number 2: Nature got around Dre when they were doing the firm thing and was basically feeling himself because Dre felt Nature was a beast lyrically so Nature then started saying he don't need Nas and he trying to make back door moves....number 3: It was easy for them to fall out and for Nas to cut sun off because they were never people's like that. Nas knew him as a nigga from his hood who was nice on the mic. Not his man who he ran with. Number 4: Nature went behind Nas back and told Cornega that Nas wanted him to Diss mega. He didn't realize how close Nas and Mega was and it got bk to Nas....it's all underline shit...

My friend and I rocked his first album for a minute before it came out. When it came out, he went to the mall and he bought us 2 copies of the actual album. He didn’t tell me. He just took the bootleg out of the cd changer and switched the place so I would see it once I noticed it was out of place. He said “Man, we gotta support”. Shout out to Kam

I ALWAYS wanted to hear his point of view of that whole thing. This gon be a dope one right here

I been waiting for one of these, hope yall get Cormega, please!!!

Why Nature acting like he didn't make We Ain't Friends and Nas Is Not

Nature came into the Firm as a replacement to Cormega. Career started in as a secondary figure.

“QueensBridge niggas must got NATURE SHOOK! “

Can't wait for this one

From what I’m getting out of this convo Nature wasn’t focused on the music aspect more like partying and women

First the song “Dupe - Rutina” drops and now this interview 🔥 I just love the old school

Nature ft. Nas- The Foulness Pt.4 is one of my favorite songs Nature's WordPlay is immaculate!!

Love this Podcast

I feel Math's pain trying to get the unfiltered truth out of this brother seems beyond difficult. He's hiding and harboring certain feelings not realizing that this is also a podcast to help reveal inside 💠 behavior for layman's and fans who might know the backstory. It's like bruh just keep it a bean and speak 🗣️ pure hearted homie. Math and the fellas are not judgmental like that. *They are literally hip hop purist* just trying to reveal the ℹ️ info in a surface way also digestible for fans. If it wasn't for the Latino guy at the end, we still would be lost as to what took place between him and Nas. Nature wtf homie ??? 😂 Too much vodka. Snap out of it bruh.

Nature was one of the nicest rappers back then! Straight up. If he was writing all his verses, he was one of the nicest. His verse is ‘Sometimes I Wonder’ was a classic! And his verse on ‘Time’ was crazy!!

Bruh s/o Math for this show it helps me with my perspective on this whole music thang

I still listens to for all seasons

Bout to go listen to “Band from Tv” right now! 🔥🔥🔥 Nature killed that shit!!

I still like Esso's original take earlier in the conversation... Nature needed a team/staff behind him to PROD and PUSH him... there is nothing wrong with needing external encouragement. ESPECIALLY a street n---ga... Nature needed his own team but he was on some street shht and "this is the homey, we gone make it!" type shht. So I don't blame Nas or Him, the industry has many lanes... he was moving too slow and Nas was rising fast... I am a HUGE FAN of both of them... And like Nature said, he was like the poor mf in the crew surrounded by multimillionaires... Not everyone handles pressure the same... As I said previously... Esso hit the nail on the head, he needed a team/staff behind him seperate from Nas' team/staff...

"Nature, I can't hold your hand through this shid dawg"

Yessssssssss math and the crew got this show ish on lock yes Nature let's go Math 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

grown men always expecting things you was all over a platinum album multiple verses stand on your own 2 feet, AZ had one verse on life a bitch and took it from there.

Dam I remember this fall out and beef back in the day lol.Nature was dope but gotta keep it real. Yes nas definitely got mad when Nate decided to sign with trackmasters and not him. And you also got to remember it was nas brother jungle that brought nature to nas and was semi managing him and nore is well. Then after nas got mad and brought 50 on tour with him instead of him, nature put a song on his first album called we ant friends taking shots at nas. That's why if you listen to destroy and rebuild nas spits "of course we ant friends you never stood on the block." This was basically his response to to nature's we ant friends.

Basically Nature was lazy expecting Nas to hand him everything and he got dropped from the situation he wasn't hungry enough, he seems bitter because Nas didn't hold his hand

For all seasons 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nature up there big capping Math Respectfully!

We gotta get Nancy Drew to find the truth from this guy

People who think he's harboring,or hiding his feeling's,find it difficult to think.He's expressing his self doubt, he's expressing his lack of self confidence,he expressed his thought process as a young kid from the projects.

One of my favorite artist

I really like this content, but get Nature off here he saying a while lot of nothing! He know what happened

I feel nature had a opportunity he just let it slip away by not capitalizing on the moment… He definitely had the skill to have his own following back in the day.. it’s when you realize it takes hard work and dedication that’s what separates success…

finally youtube algo working, i was just in the middle of listening to the gta 3 game fm playlist 💪🏽

Haiti STiLL Here.. Salute to Nature... I loved when He dropped his 1st Tape

Taking into consideration what both Nature and Nas points of view are I have this to say, We all are imperfect human beings nobody is perfect. As we get older we're suppose to evolve being better than we were the year (or years some ppl get stuck) before with that being said it's time to move on and if possible they should have a convo about their past situation and move on. We always holding onto grudges ppl be forgetting this life is temporary and you don't know when your time is up so don't waste your precious time and energy 🙏💯😌✌. Also we all make bad decisions, choices and stupid/ignorant mistakes at some point in life but your suppose to learn from it not hold onto grudges and hold ppls past mistakes against them, that serves no good purpose only pain, resentment and anger😐💯. And I don't judge anyone I'm not qualified that's God's job/domain. I wasn't there when Nas & Nature started beefing so I can't say who's wrong or right. It doesn't affect my life either and I enjoy reading about my fav celebs but I don't get invested in their lives (I didn't know their fallout was that serious) and Nas is one of my favs Hip Hop Mc's from my gen 🙂 I'm to busy living my life......💯% I wish them both nothing but continued love/happiness and success 🙏❤🍫👑😌.

Damn he look unhealthy as hell. Keep yourselves healthy guys. Don't want be looking 70 at 50.

That champion sweatsuit is fire. His man's shortset w/ the bucket is dope, too.

Keep going

Nature was nice as hell with bars but one thing that baffles me years later, is when I remember he has a song about dating a highschool girl.

Nature's verse on NORE'S Banned From TV is 1 of the greatest verses of all-time. He sonned everybody on that song.

That for all seasons album was a vibe for real

Math going in!🔥🔥🔥 great?s

As big as Nas was during his peak, understand that in the late 90s it was still difficult for a rap artist to push another rap artist into the spotlight, and get the attention they deserve. Nature was a dope artist, but didn’t have the same star power, and musical appeal as AZ & Foxy. I still listen to Doe or Die, & ILL Na Na ON THE REGULAR. Both classics. It was gonna be hard for Nature to blow regardless because he hadn’t dropped an album PRIOR to joining The Firm. Whereas Foxy & AZ already had made a name for themselves.

No matter what Nature is a giant in the game! For all seasons is a CLASSIC and definitely still in rotation in my whip. My man said “Sitting in the crib wit one shoe on, getting the mail, nothing but bills and coupons! His flow is one of a kind

I wanna watch the clips but I really enjoy watching the podcast I’m it’s entirety so I guess I’ll wait 😩😭

I'm so glad Nature is getting his just due I'm happy to see more of him definitely a dope rapper his pen is crazy

Always like Nature but, I feel like he's gotta take some responsibility. Even in this clip when talks about himself in comparison to the other firm members, he says he didn't feel on their level in some way or another which he believed affected his progress etc. But, that's where Nas told him "I can't hold your hand in this" "I believe in you believe in yourself" Ultimately, Nature needed more of a grind and competitive spirit to maximize the opportunity he was given. He was a great talent and wish him all the best but, the moment may have been too big for him at the time to grasp.

No disrespect to nature, wanna know what it was like to have to square up with mega on a rooftop in QB

Nature 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Patiently waiting on an AZ interview

Nas Went On Vacation For A Month... He Came Back Nature Was Signed To Track Masters & Columbia... Nature Album Was Done & All & The Song We Ain't Friends Was Definitely Partly About Esco... Cut The Crap Nature & I Rocks With Yo Heavy...

Nature u chose Trackmasters deal over Nas…behind his back

We Ain't Friends No More- Nature!!!

Nature - For All Seasons 🔥🔥🔥

This that 50 Cent syndrome....when Ja or Irv do an interview they bring up 50🤷🏿‍♂️ Hence Nas name

Nas is the 🐐 he basically jus clowned Nature lol..but I would of loved if he went at Nate lyrically! They both nice af- and Nate got one o the only Nas disses that really went in ..! "King Jaffi- the mummy Returns - sshole of the year- maggot running wit worms!" No bias he spazzed lol 🥶🥶💯

Immediately leaving to go listen to "Five minutes to flush"

Nate dropped the ball then realized the opportunity he had in hindsight. The window closed by then. Timing is really everything in RAP music business!

Props To Nature & Nas But Let's Be Real... Look Where Nas Is Now, Even At The Time When The Odds Were Stacked Against Him... And Now Look Where Nature Is... When It's All Said And Done, Productivity And Drive Is Key... Also "The Foulness: Final Chapter" Is My Shit Nature Really Went Off On That!

Nature, nature, nature, d ridin nature. Nature moved to marcy, thats all that needs to be said

Stevie Wonder can see this man is straight frontin'.

Math fix that detector bro... 😆

Some things in Hip Hop desperately need to change. Rappers need to be afforded the luxury of an extended shelf life if you will, just like other musical genres. If an emcee makes something dope we all need to remember they made that hot ish and stabilize their props for the art they introduced. This could make things better for all rappers and the culture and who doesn't like better? This is something we could introduce if we wanted to. Just a thought...

Nature made a whole song dissing Nas before Nas dissed him so why he saying it was a jab out of nowhere? He know what that was for. He was quiet at first when brothers was dissing him and when Jay brought Ether out he got at everyone who through shots at him.

OG Nature!!!! Put some respect on his name ✊🏾💯💯

Sometimes people move on bro. Accept it. Move on. Live your life....
