Lol Nas just playing cool, plus he's in hov's house. Remember Nas got him with Ether, made peace but they kept slick dissing eachother until Jay threatened with his "I declare war concert. They made peace again and later Hov signed him to Def jam. They both know each other catalogue pretty well
Well Nas was rapping along to Jay Z’s lines in that video for the song with Dj Khaled “sorry not sorry.” They have very high respect and admiration for each other. They’re the goats. And it’s kinda sad that’s what u deducted from this iconic video…just appreciate greatness man.
Jordan Sharpe it depends on how you look at it bc they both have different ways of approaching lyricism. I specifically used the word “poetic” bc that’s the best way to describe Nas as a lyricist. Nas is more abstract than Jay Z is bc he uses more imagery to paint pictures with words and explores different concepts of storytelling. Jay Z is a more subtle lyricist bc his lyrics take more to understand. That’s bc Jay uses wordplay, wit, and powerful metaphors to create double/triple entendres. So it really depends on how you look at it bc there are different types of lyricist.
A true full circle moment for those who know. Jay was inspired back in the day from that one verse “I’m out for Presidents to represent me” off Nas “The World is Yours” track. Nas was the biggest thing alive at the time. Jay’s career actually took off from his first album “Reasonable Doubt” featuring his hit “Dead Presidents.” These two had major beef but were actually really fans of one another. I’m seeing great maturity and forgiveness on both sides (those who know, know…) from my two favorite artists of all time…👀💕🤗🙏
This is beautiful. Once young rivals, now they are grown men performing this Dead Presidents/World Is Yours mashup together. There's enough room for both of them to get money and be great. Instead of ending like Biggie/Pac, they showed folks another way. Kudos to these 2 black kings.
This is super super dope. Hip-Hop will always be so dear to me. And..and uhh are those supposed to be loaded clips in the background?? That’s super hard
If Jay-z ever mentioned someone on a song that means he respected them. To challenge some or to accept a challenge it means that you acknowledge that they are worthy of your time and vice-versa. He said “who’s the best MC biggie, Jay-z, and Nas” that was a shot and a compliment.
He predicted the future quite rightly. I'm sure if there was no "east coast,west coast beef" at the time, he'd have found a way to add 2pac to that list.
Oh Shizit i thought this was a Classic Performance. Old grainy footage the kid from Marcy. CLICKED on to the Real billionaire S.dot Carter!!!! $un sum of Brooklyn!!!!
My Favorite Rappers of All Time! Truly Beautiful to see 2 Black Men End their Fued and Unite + Build a Bond for Life and Rock the Mic 🎤🎼🎷🎺🥁 #NaS #JAYZ #LEGENDARY #LEGACY #HIPHOP #NaSJayZ #PleaseCreateJointAlbum
@@BoomSkwad47 not really. People fall in love with the past. Especially when dope MCs pass away. That's just a fact. I love L.... Hov is better in every way. That's a fact.
You can see how much this moment means for the band aswell! That’s pretty dope to see. Young Guru loses it when Nas starts spitting his verse! Peace to the OGs 🙏🏾
