Fortunately jasper Gongzilla doesn't share your opinion lol.
Point being nas didn't try and be anything different than what he was...and plenty rappers out there love to jafake it, jay-z, Kanye, mos def, lots...
Nas and jr gong approached their collaborations respecting each other from where they were coming from and didn't put on any airs. Snoop doesn't need to put on the name "lion" and try and rhyme in Patwa he could have done his tribute album same way plenty of artists would line up to work like that as hip hop history shows.
