What's That Rhyme Mean? Just Ask The Rapper - @rapgenius on @buzzfeed

Nas was the first rapper to get a verified account. And Nas, as it happens, does know exactly what he's doing. His first explanations are a masterclass in talking about meaning without damaging it. Nas is with Barthes; that is to say, he seems to believe that once you create art, it's not yours to define. Once you've set it free it belongs to your audience, not you.
