    I honestly think he’s kind of a child or childish. I had always suspected it from some odd bits and pieces in lyrics gushing over the Cuban cigar in Jiggy, then feeling the need to point out that he won’t light it, it’s just for the look. I love that the rumor mill thought Nas wrote the lyrics in whole. The slap kinda sinched it, It looked like a grade schooler defending their girlfriend.

    I mean, props that he did something about it, but he should have at least tried to act like he was a badass. He’s a fucking actor for god sakes.

      Becoming rich and famous at a young age is probably terrible for one’s development.

      He became a successful recording artist at 18, became a TV star at 22, and had a wildly successful run in both music and acting throughout his entire 20’s and early 30’s.

      He never had a normal life, and it probably baked in a lot of things that one would normally outgrow by the age of 25 or 30.
