Glad he set the record straight. If he was doing Nas dirty Nas would've been vocal about it over the years. But Nas has never talked ill about Serch. You have to understand when Nas came into the game he was heavily protected by Queens dudes who had skin in the game including MC Serch. He was/is a once in a lifetime talent & was shepherded thru the legal/corporate realm in a manner to ensure the business aspect of the industry didn't corrupt his craft. Peace to Serch, LP, Akinele & the others who watched over him during his infant stages in the biz. Even Steve Stoute who's known to be on snake time did right by Nas.

Salute to Serch and for him getting his flowers.

I'm so glad MC Serch is on My Expert Opinion to talk about the Nas situation amongst other things. Very well said by MC Serch. Salute to Math Hoffa on this.

Yo, Serch is a f'n legend. I met him at an after party of a Davenport, Iowa concert in '87. That man was a good man and prolly still is. He was the only artist there that night that chilled in the hallway of the hotel with fans. He was prolly jus keepin us kids from going in to the rooms because they were smoking an all. My cousin and her friend went in, but I was too young. Either way, he is the first rapper I ever met and talked to. He worked too hard to get a chance to do something that he loves to do. I'm sure he wouldn't mess it up by f'n over the culture that gave him an opportunity to express himself. Serch has shown nothing but love and respect to hip hop and the Black community. Us as Black people are too hard on the ones that are down for us. That's why so many people bail on us. Serch is an exceptional man to still be rockin wit us after all these years.

Queens get the money! Most people would have been bragging at any given opportunity about owning half of Jay Z biggest song, but Esco is too real, humble. So it's not only Ether that makes Jay low keep still hate Escobar. 🤣

Real Nas fans already knew that. He said it in stillmatic freestyle. “you show off, I count dough off when you sample my voice I rule you before, you used to rap like the Fu-Schnickens Nas designed your blueprint, who you kidding”

This interview is above and beyond excellent. M.C. Search just educated anyone who want to learn the publishing and important rules of owning rights to your music. Thank you I appreciate this platform

Serch such a legend and been there for basically all of HipHop from 1980-1999 and beyond! So dope! Truly the Forrest Gump of Hip Hop in that scene where he’s there for so many big events in Hip Hop history.

MC Serch is a stand up guy!!!! Hands down!! I brotherly loved that dude since day one.! Nas is doing it big!!!!

in KD3 nas even mentioned about how he knows serch is looking to sell his shares. nas salutes him on the track and on other tracks through the years as well so you know serch earned his portions of the publishing without screwing nas over in any way.

@@brianjackson3031 watch the full video. He says it clearly. That was not the name of the company that Biggs paid. There was no serchlight publishing until years after takeover. Its not the first time Serch has said it either. Don't be butt hurt cos you favor Jay z. Jay lied. Simple. Get over it. Its not the first time a rapper lied.

@@brianjackson3031 you're confused. The lie is countering "I count dough when you sample my voice" with "I know who I paid, serchlight publishing". There was nothing call serchlight. Serch says it himself. No company with that name. And the counter is to try to make people believe that nas didn't count dough when Jay sampled his voice, like nas didn't get paid and like nas was lying. The people on the pocast are shocked that nas owns publishing on that song because Jay's lie worked. He paid the company that paid Nas so Nas got paid. So why did Jay bring it up as a Diss? Because he wanted to mislead the people to score a counter. Class is now over for the day. I will not be replying

I can’t wait for this whole interview to drop!! Loved 3rd Bass when they came out 😊

MC SERCH has been quiet and in the shadows for too long and underappreciated, I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves as a Hip-Hop legend!

There's a reason for that. Do you think that the "Powers That Be" are OK with perceivably one of their own educating Black artists about the music business??

I never thought Search was shady… Nas never said such

“you show off? I count dough off while you sample my voice. I rule you” - Nas (Stillmatic freestyle 2001) This line is single handedly the greatest diss in hip hop history 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I still listen to his work to this day. I introduced my children to 3rd Bass. Their story should be a movie!

Serch has always been a real one. He had numerous opportunities to snake a young Nas, but his morality, honesty and love of the culture of hip hop kept him pure. Now he's laughing all the way to the bank and has Nas on speed dial.

Big up to Search for being real by speaking on how it was & how it is. 👍🏾

I always love Mc search give interviews. His drink champs interview in classic and amazing. Watched it twice in full. Search needs a podcast and has to call it 3rd bass food for thought.

Oh shit.. Math just went down in HIP HOP PODCAST HISTORY!!! PERFECT TIMING, right after KD3 DROPPED!

Another "Classic" on deck. Serch and Pete Nice were top tier. "Wordz to Wisdom" was the beat! "Pop Gothe Weasel" was another banger for our time.The West had love for 3rd Bass. He giving game on how "real"moves are made. Keep Pushin Math & Crew (Mr.Bigga). Stick & Move✌

Everything I have, I owe to hip hop”!💪🏾 much Respect Search!!

I remember seeing Mc Search in the Latin Quarters. The only white boy in the club dancing and rapping. It blew my mind and me and my crew from Strong Island NY talked about it all the way back home that night. Later on found out he was from Far Rockaway Queens and he grew up around alot Blacks and Gangsters. Reminded me of a cool white boy from my old hood in Long Island we call him Hot Toast. Search is a Hip Hop icon and can't wait to hear the story about the beef with Mc Hammer after they dissed him in that Gas Face joint.
