Times certainly has changed.

Once upon a time JAY-Z and Nas were bitter rivals in the midst of one of the biggest rap battles of all time which gave us tracks such as “The Takeover” and “Ether.”

Today, the two are cordial friends with much respect for each other and their skills on the mic. With the release of 4:44, many artists and fans gave their input on the project.

This includes Nas, who congratulated him on the project.

 

Thank You Holland tonight was Crazy!!! ( Pic is from Denmark, Holland Pics soon come ) Say what u want, but music is what’s helping people unite and stay cool in these times, American music about the last thing keeping USA in good standing. Congratulations to Jayz for pushing the Culture forward with his new album 4:44 !
