Jay-Z ain't better than nas at nuttin and nas didn't kill anyone or dick anyone over to achieve his success..and businessmen aren't considered hip hop artist don't lose focus on what we're talking about here ...and when it comes to spitting Jay is nas bitch
2024 these youngins out here putting weak out diss tracks. This is how it’s done. This was only played a few times on the radio back then, but when it was first played. The whole city stopped.
I will forever remember this time as the era I fell in love with hip hop. Witnessing this battle live is one of my life’s greatest treasures. Nas the true king.
Jay z came into game... hes always a hustler first.. but dont get it twisted.. Hov is a MONSTER with the bars!!! He could have dropped 12 reasonable doubts... but he "dumbed down for the audience".... Nas should have done the rap battle putting his career on the line..
Many people didn't catch this line 1:52 He said stillmatic it was written nastrodamous I am the illmatic That was all his albums he was able to even make into a bar
Nas is SO overrated. Jay Z won this battle with the Blueprint 2 diss. Stepped on Nas with real facts. CAN'T YALL SEE THAT HE'S FAKE? THE RAP VERSION OF TD JAKES.🤣🤣🤣
@@Milehigh_ Ether is garbage. Dude used Tupac vocals to start the song off. That tells me all I needed to know about Nas. One career fell off, the other transformed and grew. There was no coming back for Nas after Jay wiped his azz with him.
Ppl overlook this one. This was the warning a shot. It’s also the reason for the 3rd verse on “Takeover”, but we all know how this ended. Bottom line, Nas’ wordplay on THIS was elite!!!!
Came back here after MC serch said he's doesn't own Nas publishing and he owns 50% of Jay-Z publishing on the Dead Presidents song "I count dough when you sampled my voice I rule you"
While they riding Nas Trying to boost they career Corny as Corn-mega All you Hip-Home queers The Medicine Man even had a stray for Mega in this masterpiece; I knew he was aiming for legacy with this track. Not Ether. THIS track.
Nas Predicted The Future In This Diss. He Mentioned “Memphis And Money Bags 💰” … And The Newer Artist “Money 💰 Bag Yo” Is From Memphis 💯 … Just Take A Sec And Think 💭 About It 🤔 … #CatchemStreetz #SinAndMark #ImOptimusCmD #SinAndMarkEntertainment 🌍
If just one person reads this it will make my day. I'm a music artist from Virginia. So I'm fully aware that folks usually post these comments all the time, but I honestly do believe that I'll be the one person who you'll be so happy that you did hear out. . If ONE PERSON could just give this a thumbs up, you will be a great step closer to helping a person's dreams come true. I swear that I don't suck and you won't be disappointed. I Just need one chance and 3 minutes.
I'll keep saying it. Jay Z had to drop takeover the way he did. Nas set the standard with this diss. He had to maintain it if he wanted to box with Nas. Takeover was a great diss it would've destroyed many careers but Nas is Nas.
I always wondered what the "difficult test" on the stillmatic cover was. Someone should ask Nas about that? I wonder if it was just a line or there was really some "hidden message" there.Cuz there is like a pigeon next to him. Its kind of an interesting cover.
An interviewer asked Nas about the pigeon next to him on the cover and I've copied what Nas said below - I just love birds. It’s funny how I love birds. The way they see the world is like, not even dealing with the bullshit we dealing with. We deal with money and cars and smog and pollution and drugs. You know, walking the streets. It’s like being in the water for fish. The difference between them and fish, being in the sky they can fly and look at the world without dealing with our bullshit. Matter of fact they shit on us. So the way they look at things, I really admire them. It represents life also. On the 'Stillmatic' album cover I needed some life-a plant, a tree. The skys probably looking dark as it's NYC post 9/11
I’m from Brooklyn, born and raised and I just say it, Nas murdered Jay-Z. Point blank, plain and simple! Even though Nas is my favorite rapper of all-time and I think he’s the best rapper of all time, I have to give all do props to Big also. They are 1 and 1a, in anyway you want to see it. Nas and Big forever, NYC stand the fuck up!
Yeap. I usually have Nas as my number 1, Big as my number 2 but, sometimes those positions flip. I’ll put Big at number 1 and Nas at 2. Both those dudes are obviously ill. Rest In Peace Big.
Bro this was eerie I’m born raised in BK in 1970 and Same, Nas 1 , Big 1A,,, both incredible,,,,, Nas just genius STILL Doin it,,,,,Biggie just Unmatched and His Music Bangs Still,,,,,Really been playing his You Can’t Stop the Reign verse last few Months it’s Flawless and Nas w HitBoy are just Magical🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
" clothes fit me like a crime boss the medicine man" sick. Since illmatic it was written I am nastradamus that the answer to the puzzle I gave u now heres the promise... So many quotables in this short track
