Nas Fans Come For His Head After ‘Cryptocurrency Scarface’ Lyrics

Posted by

Nas has amassed generational wealth and flipped it into his bars on numerous occasions. After his much-anticipated collaboration with JAY-Z entitled “Sorry Not Sorry” from DJ Khaled’s Khaled Khaled album arrived on Friday (April 30), fans found themselves upset with one particular Nas bar.

Over a flip of Bobby Glenn’s “Sounds Like A Love Song,” the Queensbridge legend stacks his newfound wealth and boldly proclaims himself to be a one-of-one in the cryptocurrency world.

“‘Til we all on, never fall off, hear a boss talk, you don’t hear me? That’s your loss. Winner in life, fuck a coin toss, I’m coin-based, basically cryptocurrency Scarface,” Nas raps on the single, alluding to his massive investment in the cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. However, the bar was deemed not only “lazy” by some of Nas’ staunchest fans but a head-scratcher.

““Cryptocurrency Scarface” is the corniest flex of Nas’ career,” critic Justin L. Hunte wrote.

Nas and JAY-Z trading massive flexes no songs together has become a common theme since the former foes squashed their beef in 2005. In 2006, the two traded bars on the song “Black Republican” from Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead album. One year later, the pair did it again on “Success” from Hov’s 2007 album American Gangster where Nas famously told the world, “Google Earth Nas, I got flats in other continents.”
