Nas Confirms Amy Winehouse’s “Me and Mr. Jones” was about Him October 6th, 2011 - By Veronica Wells If you’re an Amy Winehouse fan you might have noticed that Amy’s “In My Bed” sampled the beat from Nas’ “Made You Look” . But now the rapper is claiming their connection might have been a little bit deeper than just a sample. Rumors had been circulating that the song, “Me and Mr. Jones” was about Nas since 2006. But it wasn’t until recently that Nasir Jones acknowledged that he was the inspiration behind the song. “I don’t really remember if Salaam, who was really close to her, who introduced us, if he told me about it or not,” Nas told XXL. “I don’t remember right now. But, I heard a lot about it before I even heard the song.” In the song Winehouse says, “Mr Destiny 9 and 14.” Turns out that Winehouse and Jones shared a birthday (September 14th) which is referenced in the song and Nas’ daughter is named Destiny… You’ll have to help us out with the Destiny part. People have speculated that Winehouse may have had a crush on Nas back in the day… it certainly looks like it. Source And in case you’re wondering what else the late Winehouse said in this dedication to Nasir, check out the lyrics below. "Me and Mr Jones" Nobody stands in between me and my man, it’s me And Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones) What kind of f*ckery is this? You made me miss the Slick Rick gig (oh Slick Rick) You thought I didn’t love you when I did (when I did) Can’t believe you played me out like that (Ahhh) No you ain’t worth guest list Plus one of all them girls you kiss (all them girls) You can’t keep lying to yourself like this (to yourself) Can’t believe you played yourself (out) like this Rulers one thing but come Brixton Nobody stands in between me and my man ‘Cause it’s me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones) What kind of f*ckery are we? Nowadays you don’t mean d*ck to me (d*ck to me) I might let you make it up to me (make it up) Who’s playing Saturday? What kind of f*ckery are you? Side from Sammy you’re my best black Jew But I could swear that we were through (we were through) I still want to wonder ’bout the things you do Mr Destiny 9 and 14 Nobody stands in between me and my man ‘Cause it’s Me and Mr Jones (Me and Mr Jones)
Damn. Nas is a 'Back Jew'?? I hate hearing about chicks falling for dudes hard and getting dogged out. I knew some brothas had been with her but now it's more or less confirmed. Nas is overrated FWIW.
Nothing deep between Nas and Amy Winehouse in my opinion. She just loves to get high and it got her to the grave.
Yeah now that she's DEAD he'll SAY that's song's about him - like she can defend herself otherwise. Dumbass stupidass player. I hate men trying to make a buck off of dead women. (And I knew this day would come) She should rest in peace. Poor Amy - I love her so much.
wow, thats a lot of interesting coincidences ! I'm a huge fan of Amy Winehouse That's awesome if those really are hidden theme's to Amy's songs ! Makes me like them even more ! pain/sorrow makes for the best music.
damn as if reaching for trailer ass wasnt bad enough, now we got brothas promotin themselves with dead ww mothafuckas dont even need pulses now :shock:
