Nas and "Raekown" go way back; in fact, nas and the whole Wu Tang Clan go way back. He dropped a killer verse on "Let My Niggas Live", a song that appeared on their third album- The W (2000). Nas was featured on Verbal Intercourse; a track off Raekwon's debut solo album in 1995, Only Built For Cuban Linx. They (nas and reakwon) were also featured on a track (eye for an eye) off Mobb Deep's The Infamous (1995) album. But there was a rumor that nas has declined rae's invitation to drop a verse on Only Built For Cuban Linx 2. The rumors of any differences between them has been "deaded" as Nas appears on Rae's latest album (Wu-Tang vs Shaolin), on a track titled "Rich and Black".It was on the set of the video to that track, that nas was interviewed and ask about the first time he met Raekwon. Read what nas had to say below-
“The first time I met Rae was at a big arena in New Jersey…Continental Arena for Summer Jam,” Nas recalled. “I think it was the first Summer Jam Hot 97 ever had. Rae walked in the door backstage, and popped open a bottle of champagne like it was a movie. And I said to myself, ‘There’s no other way I was supposed to meet Rae.’ He walked in, popped the bottle and was looking for beef. It wasn’t no Rap star shit or no cameras. All of that didn’t exist back then. My G walked in, and it was just strength off the money in his pocket champagne.”
The video for the Rich and Black track is to premier to day- Thursday, July 7. Watch out for it.
