Fivio, keeping it 100, shared his perspective:
“I’m not saying that the man is wack, he’s not a legend. I got a song with the n*a—I got a song on the album and the album got a Grammy. But I can’t sit there and say a Nas bar to you or a song.”
He eventually admitted to vibing with “One Mic” from Nas’ Stillmatic album, but his initial comments still raised some eyebrows. It’s a generational thing, maybe?
Jones, stepping in, quickly responded:
“But I can. … Nas was my era. I came up f*ing with Nas. I know the Nas sh*t. … But moving forward, I started a whole new era in a whole new genre and a generation of people. I just be doing me.”
The clip ignited a firestorm online, with fans debating whether Nas’ influence truly transcends generations—or whether younger artists like Fivio just connect more with the sounds of their time. Are the classics timeless, or does each generation need its own soundtrack?
One thing is certain: Jim’s podcast debut did exactly what it was supposed to do – sparked a conversation! And in the world of hip hop, that’s always a good thing. Keeps the culture alive and kicking!
