This week rapper Nas' casino bid in Queens was approved...
From The NY Post
A Nas-backed bid to build a casino at Aqueduct Resorts World in Queens took a step forward Thursday — just days after a Jay-Z affiliated group was told no thanks.
Aqueduct won a preliminary approval from a state sitting board to move onto the next stage to receive one of up to three casino licenses, a victory that had one Queens politician ready to dig up Nas’ infamous rap beef with Jay-Z, whose Caesars Times Square bid was flatly rejected last week.
“There’s a theme in Queens and I know Nas is a part of it,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said. “Queens gets the money!”
“Sorry Jay-Z. We win again,” the borough president quipped. “I just had to rub it in.”
Nas is a partner in the Genting Resorts World bid for a state gaming license to offer live table games such as craps, blackjack and poker. The $5 billion proposal includes a concert hall and a sports academy involving Queens hoops legend Kenny “The Jet” Smith.

It makes sense, Nas them are basically upgrading an already existing racino. Them folks don’t want more traffic, gambling, drinking and crime in Times Square.
I need to see the same outrage as if this was ROCNation because ya'll full of it.
This Has Me Thinking About Sister Souljah & theGRAND Puba Mentioning Building Casinos On His 'MoreThingsChange' Joint. However, I Believe This 2 Be A Capitalistic $treetDream, Rather Than A Cultural/Survival Endeavor. Folk Might Get A Few CardShufflin' Gigs 4 Crumbs. The House Always WIN$ Unfortunately.
Thats a better place for it
Far away from TS. I didn't know Nas was a part of the bid. No mention of this on the local news. Keep that gambling mess in Queens with Aquaduc horse racing. The good thing is it will bring jobs to NYC. LOLO
Does Nas have a history of being associated with Diddy’s nasty parties? Does he have a history of being with young girls? Does he have a history of playing both sides of the blacksphere with his clout? Does he target others to keep them from getting the bag? Is he buying awards?
No, so he deserves to the approval on the casino bid. Stop playing in our faces.
Black Excellence!
@11:31 he has a history of beating women too but maybe he’s changed and deserves it.
Nas won!
@9:46. Nas has been approved for an already existing Casino.
This isn't about Nas and Jay. It's about the difference between Times Square and Queens.
It's the HAIR style, I tell you!!!!
Nas is foine, that's all I got.

Thousands of construction jobs will be created.
I hope that the workers reflect the same diversity that Queens does.
