This scene is from his daughter's third birthday and her innocence in the scene is being contrasted by Nas's lyrics about her during her awful phase.
This scene shows Nas out with his daughter while he flirts with some random woman. He accounts this with why his daughter is so attracted to gangstas because her dad was one.
In this scene, Nas's daughter is coloring while he is in the booth making music The distance between them in this shot represents them actually growing apart.
Even though he is arguing with his wife in this scene, he is able to put all his anger aside and go to his daughter when she needs him.
His daughter is older now and the scene suggests that their relationship has changed. She can only see her father now through tv which explains her later actions.
Since Nas isn't really there, she continues doing bad things with the bad boys she's attracted to. The climax is when she and her friends get pulled over.
