I saw that clip a long time ago Steve. That's nothing new. Rakim said that way back when the song was made. It's all gravy though because no beef ever came from that.
Rakim was just saying that Nas should have talked to him before making the song, and I actually agree with that. They've worked together since then on that song "Classic" with those two, KRS-One, and Kanye so there's no beef between them.
