Nore on Ending Nas Beef: First Thing He Said to Me Was 'Sorry'

"At the end of the day he was a friend of mines, f**k the music. When you're friends, and you stop being friends with a person it's just weird."

Nore came to VladTV a few weeks back to share photos of his reconciliation with fellow Queens native/rap legend Nas. Stemming from Nas' beef with Jay Z and Def Jam as a whole, the two hadn't spoken for over a decade until they came together for Nas' 20th anniversary celebration of "Illmatic." Now that the two have banded together again, Nore couldn't be happier. "You're supposed to progress," he expresses. "It's Hip-Hop -- what the f**k are we beefin' for?"

"The first thing the man said to me was 'Sorry'," recalls Nore, who always felt that he "deserved a call" after Nas called him out on Power 105 years ago. Nas - who wanted to hang a Jay Z-like figure by a noose during his 2002 Hot 97 Summer Jam performance - blacked on everyone once he was denied his request, Nore included. Years later, the "Superthug" says it was an old photo of the two of them that made it possible for him to try to make amends with Nas despite both of their stubborn ways. After Nas pulled him on stage at Liv in Miami and told him "yo we're gonna perform," Nore felt like his little brother again.

"He still paved the way for me and he still helped put me on in the game as a solo artist," says Nore, who also adds that "if it wasn't for Nas there might not have been a Mobb Deep, and if wasn't for Mobb Deep, there might have not been a Capone-N-Noreaga."
