Jonny Fastlane report: 21 Savage & Nas squash their beef and drop a song TOGETHER
If you want to get into contact with me, the best way to do it is on Instagram. If you want to say what up, if you want to tell me you love my videos, you can tell me that you hate my videos but the best way to do that is on Instagram. Peace y’all, Jonny Fastlane here. So, Nas and 21 Savage come out with a song together. Let’s talk hip-hop!

So, Nas and 21 Savage come out with a song together. Let’s talk hip-hop!
Peace y’all, it’s your boy Jonny Fastlane. So this situation is dope man because Nas and 21 Savage just dropped a song together called ‘One Mic, One Gun.’ As you guys know, Nas and 21 Savage, they kind of had a little beef.
The whole situation was 21 was feeling himself. He got a new album with Drake so he challenged Kodak Black and said he would beat him in a Verzuz and he also was on Clubhouse and was talking about JAY-Z and Nas and said yeah Nas has a core fan base and good music but he’s not relevant in today’s rap conversation.
A lot of people were like yo that’s crazy, you’re wilding, and even Jungle, who is Nas’ brother, came out on Twitter and said something crazy toward 21 Savage. And 21 Savage didn’t respond to any of that.
What did 21 Savage did respond and say though was that his comments got all misconstrued. He said, ‘I would never disrespect Nas or any legend who paved the way for me y’all be trying to take stuff and run with it.’ So I guess ultimately Nas and 21 Savage must of got on the phone because 21 Savage and Nas got a new song called ‘One Mic, One Gun’ and it is fire.
I think that Hit-Boy produced it because there’s a video of Hit-Boy in the studio wilding out to the song after they recorded it. The whole situation is 21 Savage starts the song off and right there in the first verse, 21 Savage is rapping saying when it comes to legends, we don’t talk about relevancy. You forgot I was a rapper with integrity. He said I’m never trying to disrespect any rappers and he said I got King’s Disease but I move like a Knight.
So really 21 Savage was talking about the situation in the verse and giving Nas his flowers and addressing the whole situation.
It was pretty dope. The song is fire and maybe it’ll be one King’s Disease deluxe album. But they went and did the shit quick. Let me know what y’all think in the comments.
Kodak Black comes at 21 Savage over Nas comments
There’s no questioning legacy when it comes to Nas. The hip-hop icon will definitely go down in the history books as a legend so with buzz about Atlanta rapper 21 Savage going at his place in the rap game for 2022, Florida’s own Kodak Black felt the need to speak up.

Sub-Zero rapping as Nas to 'Street Dreams' is all types of Throwback Thursday
It’s a Throwback Thursday but there’s no way you saw this one coming. The legendary Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat fame getting meshed into rap icon Nas’ ‘Street Dreams’ classic? Way too epic to ignore.

This absolutely had the power of a ‘Video of the Day’ placement but there’s just something special about getting the shine right here.
“Sub-Zero as Nas rapping the classic, “Street Dreams”. Big shout to @nas and @trackmasters . I’m still on an unofficial mission to do all of Illmatic, but Nas has way too many other jams that need to be done as well. Also Sub-Zero was clearly the best Mortal Kombat character, and don’t you dare @ me. We still got 2 more nights till the Knicks are back, and I still have no clue what to do with myself when basketball isn’t on! Keep the non-garbage requests coming in the comments...

Directed by Emmy and Grammy Award-winning music legend and Mass Appeal partner Nasir “Nas” Jones (Survival 1), VIDEO MUSIC BOX (w/t) will premiere Friday, December 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. RICKY POWELL: THE INDIVIDUALIST, directed by Josh Swade, will premiere Friday, December 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. And ROLLING LIKE THUNDER, directed by Roger Gastman, will premiere Friday, December 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
HIP HOP 50 will continue to run over the next three years and will encompass unscripted series and features, podcasts and digital shorts by and about some of the foremost names in the genre, culminating with the 50th anniversary of the genre in 2023. The initiative is driven by Nas and Mass Appeal Chief Creative Officer and Emmy-nominated partner Sacha Jenkins (WU-TANG CLAN: OF MICS AND MEN, BITCHIN’: THE SOUND AND FURY OF RICK JAMES).
VIDEO MUSIC BOX (working title) chronicles the longest-running music video show in the world, Video Music Box, launched and hosted in New York City by visionary DJ and MC Ralph McDaniels. Since its debut in 1983, Video Music Box has remained a Hip Hop mainstay, with McDaniels (or “Uncle Ralph,” as he’s known to legions of fans) serving as a leading Hip Hop influencer, tastemaker and documentarian, showcasing and debuting Hip Hop videos and introducing viewers to future stars like Nas, Jay Z, LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj and Fat Joe long before they were icons of the genre. With four decades of never-before-seen footage from McDaniel’s packed vault, the film spotlights the series’ global influence on Hip Hop, along with his professional and personal triumphs. VIDEO MUSIC BOX is produced by Mass Appeal for SHOWTIME.
RICKY POWELL: THE INDIVIDUALIST tells the against-all-odds-story of New York City photographer Ricky Powell, who rose to worldwide fame while capturing one of the wildest, most electric times in popular culture. From the Beastie Boys to Run DMC to Madonna to Warhol and Basquiat, Powell documented the music, fashion and art scenes of the 1980s and ’90s in downtown New York. Powell became known as “The Rickster” – a man who wasn’t just covering the scene, he wasthe scene. RICKY POWELL: THE INDIVIDUALIST is directed by Josh Swade and produced by TIME Studios and SWADE Films.
ROLLING LIKE THUNDER plunges into the secret underground world and history of freight train and graffiti culture, uncovering stories of myth-like artists, remarkable romances, competitive graffiti crews, and battles with the institution. As street art’s widespread integration bursts into the mainstream vibrancy via posters, books and high-end galleries, the film takes viewers back to the origin of the art, in one of its most extreme and risky forms. The film explores the train graffiti subculture from turn-of-the-century markings to modern-day masterpieces, forever linking the art form with America’s landscape. ROLLING LIKE THUNDER reveals the anonymous outlaws of freight writing who put life and limb on the line for an obsession to share their voice through their artwork. The film is directed by Roger Gastman and produced by Mass Appeal for SHOWTIME.
