You sir, are full of shit.

Nas is under def-jam now. And jay-z is allowing nas to create his own sub-label within def jam.

If nas isn't a new york artist, that sounds like he's from new york. I don't know who is.

Then the sky isn't blue.

I.G., don't make shit up. The reason why New York artists aren't "running the game" like they used to is because they aren't being signed or promoted as much, true, but it's not because everyone is singing New-York-sounding Southern rappers. :/
