On Wednesday, Nas sent out an interesting tweet about Kanye West. In the tweet, Nas compared working with Kanye to working with Quincy Jones, the legendary figure who executive produced Michael Jackson's three greatest albums — Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad.
Here is the tweet:

Nas has become quite the polarizing figure. And this comment was met with some disbelief:
\u201c@Nas This is too far. I love all you but don\u2019t disrespect the GOAT Quincy Jones like that man.\u201d— Nasir Jones (@Nasir Jones) 1529523403
\u201c@Nas A sampler. Compared to Quincy Jones.!\ud83d\udde3 ARE YOU CRAZY!!?? Quincy Jones would definitely ask what instruments Kanye plays, and what original instrumentation he has composed and arranged. Kanye stands on the shoulders of music giants, then brags about how tall he is.\u201d— Nasir Jones (@Nasir Jones) 1529523403
\u201c@Nas You tripping he no where near Quincy Jones or the Young Quincy that is ludicrous\u201d— Nasir Jones (@Nasir Jones) 1529523403
