I had no idea until I saw this, but apparently, A$AP Mob’s Nast was accused of biting Pro Era’s style following the release of his Method Man-assisted visual ‘Trillmatic‘. The original story that we spotted in AllHipHop’s Community Section is below (you might want to read that first); above, A$AP Mob addressed the so-called rift with Hot 97.
Last night (Dec. 4th) A$AP Mob member A$AP Nast dropped his new song “Trillmatic” featuring the legendary Wu-Tang member, Method Man. The song and video has been well received, but not everyone is feeling it all the way. Various members of Brooklyn’s Pro Era crew took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the song and the whole A$AP movement, in general. First, A La $ole took to Twitter and he had to say this: “Love to see more rappers bite the pro era swank. Good shit Nast. Smh lol whats new with these “New York” negus?”
La $ole quickly followed up his first tweet with some more harsh words for the fellow New York crew: “I got love for new york rappers but word is bond them asap negus is WACK. #Straightfacts. There are rappers then there are mc’s. You choose.”
Pro Era member Kirk Knight also had a mysterious subtweet at around the same time which could be pointing towards the same opinion: “Bravo bravo I’m so impressed.” Soon Pro Era rapper Rokamouth also weighed in and accused Nast of style jacking: “i don’t like that a.s.a.p. style jacking shit”
This did not sit well with Nast, who fired back, saying: “@rokamouth1 style jacking who my nigguh. 1990 born up you got us fucked up my g need to talk whatchu know” Nast then tweeted his thoughts on the Pro Era crew: “I GOTTA SHOW DEZ LIL NIGGUHS HOW TO REP THE 90’s FOR REAL”
Things got more tense when Rokamouth took shots at A$AP Mob’s stomping ground, Harlem: “You gotta come to Flatbush to get the real fronto not Harlem”
Read all of the tweets during this Pro Era/A$AP Mob exchange above and let us know where you stand on this. Are you Team Pro Era or Team A$AP Mob? And should the two young NYC crews beef after what Trinidad James said about NY?
