Faith Evans Says Jay Z and Biggie Were Not Really Close Friends

Yesterday was Biggie's 20th death anniversary, so a lot of talk of one of the greatest rappers ever has been going on on the Internet.

Jhene Aiko Gives Childish Gambino The Green Light

Childish Gambino and Jhene Aiko have been friends for a while now, and it seems she wants to be more than just friends with him. In her new Complex Magazine cover story, Jhene Aiko gave Childish Gambino the green light to take things to another level with their relationship.

Speaking of her friendship with Childish Gambino, she said...

“We have the same publisher. One of his best friends, Fam, went to school with my brother who passed away. We have the same sense of humor, very sarcastic and dry. It was automatically like, ‘I like you! We can be friends.’ He’s an actor. We’re both creative people. We are friends and we hang out. We’re just friends but I’m also single, so you never know what friendships can develop into. We like each other as people, so you know, who knows?” (Complex Magazine)









Hahaha! Dude better do something after this, or he will have Jhene's heart shattered. It's very clear she likes him very much, and wants to be more than just his friend. But it's funny she had to express her feelings via a medium like this, where the whole world gets to read it. lol! I'm sure she didn't know her words would come out like that.

Is Jay Z a Nas Stan?

So, do you think Jay Z is a Nas stan? By the way, a 'stan' stands for an obsessive fan. I have always known, even when they were beefing that Jay was at least a fan of Nas's music. Nas would probably never attain the level of commercial success Jay Z is currently enjoying, but people shouldn't forget that Nas was selling Gold and platinum with two albums before Jay dropped his first album. Anyway, while reading the comment section of hiphopdx, I got this very interesting list of reasons why Jay Z was and still is a Nas stan. Peep them below...and yea, I did the background check on them, and they are all accurate. I knew most of them for years already.

1. Jay-Z begged Nas and AZ to be on "Bring It On" song (in 1996) off the Reasonable Doubt album. But Nas turned it down.

2. Jay-Z begged Nas to be on Dead Presidents, Nas turned him down so he sampled him.

3. Jay-Z sampled Nas voice AGAIN on Crack Game/Rap Game or whatever the fuck.

4. Jay-Z used to rap like the fu-schnickens but tried to switch his shit up when he heard Illmatic

5. The fact that Jay even knew Nas' child's mother is stalker-ish

6. Jay-Z said "Who's the best MC, Jay-Z, Biggie and NAS" before the beef

7. Jay-Z admitted to listening to ALL of Nas albums in Takeover

8. Jay-Z randomly showed up at the recording of "Black Republican" and put himself on that track (No, it wasn't a planned collab)

9. Jay-Z had AZ in the video for Dead Presidents. (AZ is Nas's long time friend, and rap partner from back in the mid 90s)

10. Jay-Z started working with people like Frank Ocean and Jay Electronica after NAS shouted them out and worked with them first

11. Jay-Z tried to get Nas on the Empire State song AND REMIX but Nas refused both

12. Jay-Z invited Nas to perform at the Carnegie Hall show recently
