yeah read this and i believe it's a terrible move. Nas is a bad business man, i've noticing this over the years but it's cool. i just don't understand the reason in this move. he's giving them to much hand in his pocket. he's establish with a devoted fan base. he could have indie and atleast sold 500,000 and still made more money. i'm scratching my head right now really....but i don't know still support him tho, i have to he had me woke since i was 11 you know...1..
