Rakim returns to the game lying...Upset with Nas

Sooo, even the real God MC (my apologies to those who thought it was Jay-Z), has picked up on the new way to sell records...Beef. Rakim (one of my favorites by the way) has been doing interviews and promoting his new album "The Seventh Seal", which I am looking forward to by the way. Ra's target, none other than Nas himself. Seems Rakim is feeling a little salty about Nas' "Unauthorized Biography of Rakim" off of Streets Disciple. Rakim claims that Nas hasn't reached out to him and that he should have before or after recording this track. If memory serves me correct though, Nas & Rakim did an interview on MTV together with Sway where they spoke about this song and Rakim said he "felt honored", they recorded the "Classic" track and have performed together since then. So Rakim do you now have amnesia or are you trying to sell records? I'm really hoping that this is an old video.






Here is an excerpt from the interview with Sway, where they speak about working with each other. This interview is from 2006 by the way....

Here is the MTV link, just in case video doesn't work (Viacom has a lot of power)...
