(News) Nas Writes Scathing Letter To Def Jam, L.A. Reid & others - "Put My Sh*t Out!"

Via AllHipHop.com

From: Nas
To: LA Reid, Steve Bartels, Steve Gawley, Michael Seltzer, Joseph Borrino, Chris Hicks
Subject: PUT MY SH*T OUT!


Peace to all,


With all do respect to you all, Nas is NOBODY's slave. This is not the 1800's, respect me and I will respect you.  


I won't even tap dance around in an email, I will get right into it. People connect to the Artist @ the end of the day, they don't connect with the executives. Honestly, nobody even cares what label puts out a great record, they care about who recorded it. Yet time and time again its the executives who always stand in the way of a creative artist's dream and aspirations. You don't help draw the truth from my deepest and most inner soul, you don't even do a great job @ selling it. The #1 problem with DEF JAM is pretty simple and obvious, the executives think they are the stars. You aren't.... not even close. As a matter of fact, you wish you were, but it didn't work out so you took a desk job. To the consumer, I COME FIRST. Stop trying to deprive them! I have a fan base that dies for my music and a RAP label that doesn't understand RAP. Pretty fucked up situation


This isn't the 90's though. Beefing with record labels is so 15 years ago. @ this point I just need you all to be very clear where I stand and how I feel about "my label." I could go on twitter or hot 97 tomorrow and get 100,000 protesters @ your building but I choose to walk my own path my own way because since day one I have been my own man. I did business with Tommy Mottola and Donnie Einer, two of the most psycho dudes this business ever created. I worked well with them for one major reason....... they believed in me. The didn't give a f**k about what any radio station or magazine said....those dudes had me.

You know I'd really like to see Shyne succeed after all is said and done but I'm really having a hard time with this new "voice". I'm really starting to think somebody did him dirty up north. Maybe a C.O. slid some battery acid in his soda or something....idk I can't call it. The funny thing is I fux wit this joint, its real chill, some laid back cruising music but I have to fight these images of the cookie monster away. May I dare say this almost sounds like a Sesame Street song LOL...Fuck it....I'm about a dollar wtf is 50 Cent!!!
