Nas Takes His Mic Away

Rapper Nas, proprietor of the excellent single "One Mic", is now furious at someone other that Jay-Z... technically. Nas was rumoured to be planning a mock lynching of Jay-Z during his performance of the song "Ether" at Hot 97's Summer Jam as a retort to Jay-Z’s attacks at last year’s event. And it was apparently this that Hot 97 took exception to. They asked him to drop the stunt and he walked out. "I've been bamboozled, hoodwinked, and the whole nine," Nas told Power 105. "...They've treated me like a crab... treated me with total disrespect." To hear to Nas' entire retort listen to this Real Audio stream, which begins innocently enough, but turns into a dead-on rant concerning the current state of hip-hop. Thanks to snicka.com for the stream.
