Queens niggas run you niggas, ask Russell Simmons

from Nas – Ether Lyrics on Rap Genius

Nas is from Queens, as is Russell Simmons. Russell Simmons is the hip-hop mogul who started Def Jam. Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella records was a Def Jam label, so Jay-Z’s boss was, like Nas, a guy from Queens

Ironically, Nas ended up working for Jay-Z when he was signed to Def Jam under Jay’s presidency.
