It makes sense for Simmons to pass on Nas. Fiscally, Illmatic didn't surpass 60k in first week sales. According to the industry at the time, that's a bust. Def Jam was doing far better numbers at the time with any of their '94 releases, and Nas looked like only a shadow of the hip-hop greats at the time. You've got to realize that the album didn't go platinum until 2001. Put your place in his shoes, it's not a financially sound investment. As far as Bobbito is concerned, I now comprehend fully why you're such a respected legend. For me personally, thank you for breaking alot of my favorite artists to date. “Since G Rap wasn’t exactly known for doing big numbers, he passed on him.”

Russell had a chance to sign Nas later, when Serch brought him through, but he thought he sounded too much like Kool G Rap. And since G Rap wasn’t exactly known for doing big numbers, he passed on him.
