Jerry Yang should not be mentioned in the same line as the god (Nas).
Nas is like Mark Cuban. Hot back in the day; picked some fights with chumps, called them out, continued to be on fire.
Jerry Yang is like Vanilla Ice or maybe Milli Vanilli. Did it big in a new way, everyone loved him, then clearly slipped and was exposed; not a one-time thing, but perpetual like the Oyster rollie.
What I wonder: who is the Suge Knight of the VC world? Steve Ballmer? The Skype guys?
Sequoia is EMI or Universal. Been in the game since the beginning, play in multiple genres (they invested in a bunch of restaurants, life sciences, etc., not just rap). Their hip-hop/tech business is Def Jam.
Paypal is the Wu Tang Clan. Awesome as a team, split off to do awesome solo projects too, but still linked up through the 36 chambers and able to form like voltron.
