But IMO, he doesn't lower himself to make music that has been diluted and tampered with. Nobody has freedom of speech anymore.

The thing is he ALREADY tried to be a commercially successful rapper and put out radio hits, and he was nowhere near as successful as Jay Z was, every album between Illmatic and Stillmatic was him attempting to find radio success. And for all the talk about him being more lyrical than Jay Z, Jay Z has 3 classic albums(at a shit more near classic albums) Nas only has 1.
