First of all, Nas never told Cole to make that track. Cole was insecure back then and a hearsay thing made him do the absolute most lol.

Sure you can point out a few missteps in Nas' career, but generally he has kept it realer than pretty much everyone else in the rap game.

Taking advice from the man who has maintained a prolific career over 3 decades without being a sellout is the right thing to do.

Matter of fact, he gave Cole the blueprint that made him a respectable artist among the general public.

Sideline Story was full of generic radio tracks + half assed empty punchline bars.

After Nas' commentary, Cole has stepped up his songwriting, started putting more emphasis on substance, and then the going platinum without features thing happened. It's no surprise that Cole has stayed in that lane for the rest of his career ever since.
