NYOIL Responds, so does J-Gilla…

Pete Rosenberg got a chance to catch NYOIL before his show earlier this week. He spits some very brief thoughts on Nas, the song, and hip-hop overall. Good sound bites but nothing too substantial.

If Nas doesn’t come correct with an impacting and intelligent response, consider him mercked. Full statement after the jump:
