Nov 25, 2008 - He was young but very smart. He dropped out of school at a young age and educated himself by reading tons of books. Everything from comic books, to history books, to psycology books even the Bible. That's why his music is so deep and some don't understand. He is a deep dude.

Nov 25, 2008 - 'tons of books' huh?

GnarKoober Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - You think you could rap like Nas w/o being educated? Or atleast w/o knowing alot of words?

higashi24 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - 1. 'knowing alot of word' != educated 2. I probably know more words than Nas and english is only my second language.
