Nas has used his latest album to address a multitude of controversy from his past, including a lawsuit from Pete Rock and the sale of some of his catalog by MC Serch.
On the King’s Disease III track “30,” the Queensbridge MC offers his first response to Pete Rock’s planned Illmatic lawsuit. In January, the legendary producer revealed plans to sue Nas over unpaid royalties from the rapper’s seminal debut album.
“30” hears Nas express how surprised he was by the legal move, rapping: “I wonder why Pete Rock would act like that/ That type of behavior make me give rap right back.”
While its unclear whether he moved forward with the planned lawsuit, Pete Rock originally alleged that he had never been paid his share of royalties for the classic single, “The World Is Yours.”
