Nas said “Pay me back like 40 acres to blacks” and mf said he sold out 😂😂 my son was conscious on his club tracks 🔥💪🏽😂🤯

[patchbaggins]

Nas ripped that shit! And it was HEAVY in all the clubs.

[tbetters]

That was a damn hit!!!😂😂😂 Ginuwine was singing his mf ass off

[codedee]

NaS, Tim and Ginuwine kilt that shit. 20+ years later and it still bangs

[Dabridge]

He said "owe me back like 40 acres to blacks!!" What?!! sold what?!! foh!!

[swiffmatic]

The crazy part is, even with this "selling out" song, he was STILL dropping gems!!!

[JamesWilliams-wssj]

Nas was showing RANGE with that record.

[JayFingers]

Nore isn’t lying tho! When Nas started making more “commercial” songs, working with Puff, Timbo, Trackmasters, etc., people grumbled that he sold out. It’s easy to look back with 25 years of hindsight and see how brilliant it was to have a line like “Pay me back like 40 acres to Blacks” in a massive club song, but back then, some folks couldn’t see it.

[mohadmohamed]

I love that song till this day. Nas made a timeless music.

[ramonhaskins]

Sometimes stuff just goes over regular people's heads..he used a club song to again educate his people and listen to the hook...Nas timeless

If there's a guy who didn't sell out in rap, that was Nas. Coming from QB, clawing to the top in the 90's while Pac and Biggie were going at it, came into the 2000's a star, bodied Jay Z who's arguably the most entrepeneurial rapper ever, helped some young bucks like J Cole be noticed and never EVER stepped down his game.

Just released an album yesterday and he doesn't even sound outdated like most of the old heads. Still on top of the game. Nas is just an everlasting prodigy

Nas was judged the harshest in hip hop history just because of how pure his art was. The people forgot he was an ARTIST though, who wanted to express his art in many different ways. Luckily history will be in his favor when the people realize he was still keeping it pure and true to the culture and his people, even on popular songs like You “Owe Me” and “If I Ruled The World”. Even “Black Girl Lost” gave a voice to young women in the hood who were misguided. Nas was brave enough to take it there, even if it sacrificed temporary success.

[illestclip]

He didn’t sale out, he started evolving

[strorandompage]

He showed another level of versatility and the hood said he sold out.

[petemichaels]

I still listen to that joint...shits still tight...forreal forreal.

[ralphpinkins]

1. The record was fire 2. I’m from nyc, I never remember anyone looking at nas like he sold out from that song.

[tileon]

He was more than the prince of the hood. He spoke for the hood!

[jaysco]

"You Owe Me" was a banger tho

[juanjerez]

I aint never heard anyone say he sold out because of this record that jawn was fire

[FleetDaFly]

How could you not like dat song… that shit went hard
