I can't but to think "if the result of my hard work isn't as profitable nd/or as impactfull as Nas's" hard work", does it mean I don't really work that hard? I say this based on the principle that if I worked harder ("smart work" included in this term) I would get a profit/outcome/reward/impact as big as his.

When you walk out on of the restructure hip hop meeting and don’t release music according to the new rap conglomerate 1%’ers guidelines, after they offered to make you a and Jay-Z rap “legends”.. but you decline and said you’re Gods son who makes music FOR the people. And that they don’t have to convince you how powerful music and lyrics are just like the two recent legends Pac and Biggie who had just fallen after they declined but kept making music…… in short they couldn’t buy pac and biggie’s soul to use their music against their people so they murdered them after they continued to make music… next candidate was Nas and Jay-Z… Nas Tipped off by Biggie about a meeting him and PAC had with a dude and to beware of the music entertainment Devil. A year after BIG’s death, and found himself in that meeting, this time in a bigger group to be more persuasive. Yet it didn’t work and walked out opting to not only make music that they wanted, but also opted to not finish terms on his contract. “Hence he said he leaves with their soul”. Leaving them to take Jay-Z and Puff as their master puppets. Other artist walked out of the meeting also to name a few, Bone thugs n harmony, Missy Elliot, X-Zibit, and Mary J Blige were part of a few other rappers/r&b artist who did not follow through with the meeting. PAC, Biggie and Nas are real rap legends! Nas being the only one still living… music hasn’t been the same since the 90’s

@@socalrunningback my interpretation of that verse was Nas addressing the women he dealt with in his past and basically just describing their negative reaction after he ended things with them.
