They never miss. Every time they link up, it\u2019s magic. Honestly, if they ever decided to do a joint album, it could be legendary.<\/p>\n<p>Raekwon just dropped his latest album,\u00a0<em>The Emperor\u2019s New Clothes<\/em>, and it\u2019s\u00a0<em>fire<\/em>. It hit right after that new Clipse release, and it\u2019s continuing the great year for the culture. But you know how it goes\u2026 whenever something dope drops, there\u2019s always a little mess in the mix.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Emperor's New Clothes\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1hI8tHkf2aBl1zgjMblfck?si=LnWB5AY2Tce__ZHmT1s0KA&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>Nas appears on a track with Raekwon, \u201cThe Omereta,\u201d and that song alone is already a standout. When I first heard it, I was floored. But then <em>another<\/em>\u00a0Nas verse surfaced. This one was\u00a0<em>vicious<\/em>, full on fury. It started spreading fast. And as it made its rounds online, people started dissecting it, speculating that Nas was throwing shots at Jim Jones.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Omerta\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0LI7gvHXbBvt6e8EORDzA1?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p>Now, as you probably remember, Jim had a lot to say about Nas earlier this year. That\u2019s a whole other story. But Nas never responded, at least, not publicly. So naturally, folks thought this unreleased verse was a delayed haymaker aimed at the Harlem Diplomat. The internet led with it being a shot. <\/p>\n<p>But let me set the record straight. I\u2019ve got trusted sources who made it clear that this\u00a0<em>was not<\/em>\u00a0a diss to Jim Jones. Nas wasn\u2019t trying to start anything messy. That\u2019s not the space he\u2019s in right now. According to people close to the situation, including Scram Jones and song\u2019s producer <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nottz\">Nottz<\/a>, the innanet is all wrong. The verse was recorded\u00a0<em>way<\/em>\u00a0before Jim made his comments. It just happened to resurface after all that drama, which made it look like a response.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"628\" data-attachment-id=\"6112530\" src=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/rumors\/nas-vs-jim-jones-why-this-beef-is-not-what-people-want\/attachment\/image-2925\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6.png\" data-orig-size=\"1280,1166\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-329x300.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-689x628.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6112530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-689x628.png 689w, https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-329x300.png 329w, https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-170x155.png 170w, https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6-1x1.png 1w, https:\/\/s37284.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Well, because of the perceived beef, that powerful verse didn\u2019t make the final cut. Which is a shame, because what we heard was raw, unfiltered Nas. This is the kind of verse us fans\u00a0<em>live<\/em>\u00a0for. Still, the version that\u00a0<em>did<\/em>\u00a0make the album is dope in its own right. The project as a whole is phenomenal too. Shout out to Rae!<\/p>\n<p>Not everything needs to be a diss. Sometimes rappers are just\u00a0<em>rapping<\/em>. As a community, maybe we need to stop jumping to conclusions and let the music be the music.<\/p>\n<p>Nas knew how things might be interpreted. That\u2019s why he didn\u2019t want that verse out there in the first place. And yet, it somehow leaked. (That\u2019s another story for another day.)<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been a lot of quiet damage control behind the scenes to make sure this doesn\u2019t spiral into some unnecessary crap. And while we all love a good lyrical war, this just ain\u2019t that. So let\u2019s not turn it into something it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Let the art speak. Peace to Nas. Peace to Rae.
