I love Jay Z and personally I didn’t think he lost but the fact that he was hurt about the diss was his Karma Fr for fucking with Nas chick and tryna rub it in his face
I actually got into a fight when this interview was going on, i was working at a sneakers store and one of my coworkers kept talking over the interview and i was trynna hear what jay was saying cus i was fully invested into this beef, i was a huge nas fan back then and i just started liking jay cus he took that L lol...long story short i told homie to stfu and let me hear the radio, sun walked up to me and started swinging and from then it was on lol
I don't think Jay thought he was losing until some time went on. Ether comes on now!!! Jay can't say shyt but respect it and be glad he was the reason the God Emcee unleashed such a game changing song.
7:20 50 Cent talked about that before too, he said that he thought Jay-z was going to respond later, he didn't know that Jay-z was going to respond to him right away like he did on the stage.
NaS was one man against Hov in his prime, a whole record label, and a super biased radio station. I love Jay but this was some biblical shit, "sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is".
FACTS!! "I was scarface and jay was manolo and it hurt me when I had to killed him and the whole squad for dolo"😂😂. Then the rocafella empire broke up soon after this interview.😅😅.
The worse thing about this is that bas didn't even want to battle with jay-z, he even rang rakim and asked if he should do it. This will always haunt jay
All these jz stans don't get it. Jay was rapping for the hood. He wanted the hood to think he won and he knows the hood thinks nas won so he took the L. All u herbs buying the albums, he didn't care what u thought.
Great interview I remember listening to this on my Walkman in prison 💯 I’m happy to now hear this at home & Jay-Z & Nash are making music now 💯 God bless them both 💯
One absolutely beauty of being distressed is it brings out a very very super sincere side of us. There's still alot of "Jay-Z" in this interview, but he's VERY cut n dry at the same time. Gives alot of insight into how he really thinks with no reverb.
97 never been the same since. Because they couldn’t stay neutral they would eventually lose their number 1 spot for hip hop music in NY as well. After listening to this a lot of memories came back to me and I still hate Angie Mar. Nas is a better man then me cause she would have never gotten another interview from either at Hot or Power 105.1 (the station Nas helped build).
@@fatxbull6259 With all respect, they didn't give a flying fuck about the stunt itself, but rather WHO was behind it. Especially when every other verse in that era was murder, death, kill. Think about it. LL Cool J literally ended Canibus' industry career. Proving that these labels can give a shit less about you as a human being. In a similar fashion. Jay-Z could have been behind that SAME stunt Nas had planned, and I'm almost sure they would have celebrated the end of Nas' career. Just look at what he did to Prodigy!
@Mr. Enigma 💯 They never played Ether again after it Won the Nationwide Live Poll, but they played Super Ugly and Takeover for a while after the Poll, especially after this Jay-Z. It's why NaS went on Power105 and dissed Hot97.
Because it dropped on his B'day and he has to remember it every Born Day! It's why NaS said Ether burn your Soul Slow, because it will until his end of days.
@@RAakaCHI-191 lmfaaaaaaaaao no one is thinking of this silly ass irrelevant beef today JAY Z IS A BILLIONAIRE with a career that is LEAPS AND LEAPS above nas's both in critical acclaim, commercial success and relevance......no grown mad is worried about a diss from 22 years ago lmfaaaaaaaao
34:19 Can I Get A... is not your record either Jay-Z lool. It was originally Ja Rule's record, that he was going to do solo, Ja Rule wrote the hook and gave Jay-Z the flow for the song too. Ja Rule said when he was working on his album, he got the beat and began jotting down his thoughts and putting them together. Jay-Z heard it and was like, ‘This is dope. Let’s do it together.’ So Jay-Z got on it, put his touches on it and threw Amil on it Irv Gotti said Jay-Z was in his office at Def Jam recordings vibing to the song and Jay-Z said 'Yo what's this' Irv Gotti said Oh it's a record I'm doing with Jah and Jah gotta hook, Ja Rule then rapped the hook. Then after Jay-Z left the office he calls Irv Gotti five minutes later and told Irv Gotti to let him get the record. Irv Gotti was like, 'What record?' and Jay-Z said "The record y'all doing niggas, this shit hot" so Irv Gotti put Jay-Z on the phone with Ja Rule and Ja Rule gave Jay-Z the flow and hook of the song. Irv Gotti also agreed to let Jay-Z have the song if he kept Ja Rule on it
He actually got weaker when you look at his music, post-Kanye. While Nas been on an unprecedented run lately… 5 top tier album s, in the last 3 years. Nas is single-handedly running Hiphop right now. Nas is the greatest alive… Jay’s whole career is artificial as a mf. His whole persona is a copy & paste job, when you pick it apart & examine it, and that’s exactly why he lost & Rocafella’s whole ship sunk.
The Nas Jay-Z battle made me a day 1 Nas fan. I was convinced after hearing Ether being played on phillys power99 station that Hov lost and that hurtled me cuz I was a HUGE Roc fan at that time. I still was, but I had to respect Nas and I’m happy I did cuz he made some fire ass albums and music.
@@jameskent2925 I mean at first looked like Jay won the war cuz he signed Nas, but Nas is his own boss and got mad businesses under him, so I agree with u.
Here's the kicker: Jay never signed nas. LA reid signed nas north of 10 milly in bonus money(Not advanced). Jay had nothing to do with that deal. The public truce btween nas and jay was for publicity. They weren't really cool like that until around 07.
At 7:00 he describes himself. He had beef with Mobb Deep and ran into Prodigy at the club when he came into JD. He saw Prodigy across the room and JD took off while Jay walked up to Prodigy with his hand like waving a white flag lol ask Kiss “don’t want no apology from your two way “
it would've been a dumb move in the "art of war" as nas spoke about in his interview. Basically letting Jay dictate the terms and conditions of the battle
Man that woulda been legendary for hip hop. It woulda went down in history PERIOD it woulda went down in history to a point where other great artists would be putting up 6 Figures to see big 3 round battles. Do a show and then a 3 round battle and let the audience decide. That would of been legendary and amazing!!
@@nmarigna umm no I'm 34 and I was 18 when this dropped. Our generation didnt smoke crack we sold it. Yall on the other hand play wit ya nose and wear skinny homo homo jeans
2:23 When Jay-Z was saying "What I'ma say no" if Irv Gotti asked him about signing Nas. Wasn't he the one who had Irv stop Vita from being in the Mobb Deep video Burn, even tho she's on the chorus, because he had beef with Prodigy. So yeah he probably would have said no since he stopped Vita from just being in a music video
WOW! I knew the story involving Hot 97, or least I thought I did. I listened to Nas interview he had with the rival radio station, he had the same day that Hot 97 fkd him. He was mad HOT! Because they tried to tell him what he can & can not do, in which they told him he couldn't do Either. So he left there & went straight to the rival station. I didn't realize just HOW bias Angie Martinez & Hot 97 really was. They were basically 🍆 ridin Jay. Actually named the show take over. Almost make you think that Jay was hittin that or he paid them off, because this is not kosher.
Nah it had nothing to really do with hov def jam had hot 97 in their back pocket …you see hot 97 stopped playing nore’s records until he signed with def jam
Yeah, anybody who was around at the time and who's honest knew this. They literally didn't spin records which paid for airtime basically on Jay-Z call. Hot 97 was the worst. But, this just shows people how great Nas was and how powerful Ether hit. Because Nas had everything against him and still they had to concede he won. But, this battle was deeper looking back on it because Rocafella was on its way out and Jay-Z already had one foot out the door. Or, he at least was "looking at the front door" Main Sorce style
Geneva Son ! That’s not what he meant he says nas been rapping before irv came into the picture so how is it a good move to sign with murda inc when nas should have bossed up and had qb records popping
Jay Z Cut A Lot of People Off Because of The Nas Beef. He Cut Off Irv Gotti, Amil, DMX, Ja Rule A Lot Of People Because of What He Lost During That Bout
@@shonharris6950 lol at believing anything that comes out her mouth, she been exposed as whore that was getting knocked down by nas enemy , no wonder why nas have a failed history with chicks, carmen,kelis,nicki minaj
I'm a Jay Z stan but I always felt like Nas won that battle. That beef made me respect and listen to Nas. Jay remained my favorite rapper and Nas gain a new fan in me after that. The debates become so boring over the years because both sides been using the same talking points forever 🙄
Just because Eminem never dissed Nas doesn't mean it's because he didn't "want it" with Nas, because by that logic you could say that Nas never wanted it with Eminem.
@@PronounceGaming "What happened to rap?, where the thugs at? Wheres the passion?, rappers battling none rappers" - Nas , that's a Shot at Eminem for battling Mariah Carey. No one wants it with Nas trust me. What is Em gonna Say bout Nas in a Diss song? Make jokes??? You can't come at Nas like that
@@adamandeveaae8406 Except Eminem and Mariah weren't even going back and forth like that in 2004. Furthermore, Eminem had both produced a track on Nas' previous album and gave Nas a spot on the 8 Mile Soundtrack, they weren't beefing at all. Subliminal diss tracks are equivalent to not saying anything at all, so I still maintain that Nas never wanted it with Eminem (and vice versa), because they have mutual respect for each other.
@@PronounceGaming Eminem and every other rapper knew Nas was talking about Eminem at the time, don't act like Eminem didn't know. Nas wouldn't just call Eminem by Name for what? But he had a good r.ship with Mariah and so he hated what em was doing but Eminem never did shit. Now if Eminem had said something subliminal bout Nas ,Nas would ate him up 🤞🏿
Nas took Jay’s soul with Ether, for real, for real. 🤦🏽 I forgot how out of character & shaky he was in this interview. 😂 Before Ether Rocafella was sitting high & mighty. After Ether, that shit was an empire in ruins. I don’t buy the narrative about Camron coming there was the reason for the split. Nas did that. Idgaf what anybody say.
Goes to show you never say never cuz just 5years after this interview Hov and Nas did a song,go figure or figures,and to show you Hov ain't Jehovah cuz he never lies,or say anything that's contradictory his word is his bond,ijs. Cool interview tho
Honestly if Jay had this war with anyone else, nobody would even remember it💯 NaS is at the top of the food chain & he's the only reason this battle was so legendary cuz even tho Jay was a multiplatinum artist, his beef wit NaS is the only reason he's held in such high regards cuz nobody was calling Jay no goat back then but folks was calling NaS one including Jay himself 💯
its funny how Nas fans declare him the winner of this battle back in the day, The silver lining i give to those that love Nas is that he didn't take the battle lightly. He attempted to hold his own and for the most part as an emcee he did that. Jayz is on a different mental level than Nas a different street level. Time has shown this on every level. Nas is the neighborhood kid that a lot of people that wanted to make it can identify with on a personal level. They relate to him. Jayz represents a different echelon of hustler and business. NO room for the Dames at a point. A person that recognizes he grows past a rocafella group. And takes a solo career while lifting up the Kaynes, Rihannas, Beyonces< J coles, jay electronicas. There is no equal conversation. bosses know bosses. From the streets to business you cant compare the two. It's not personal, its business. Wishing nothing but the best to Nas in closing
Like the old boxing 🥊 saying goes...... Styles make fights....... JZ got hurt feelings....... you can hear a defeated fighter that just loss his first fight and he got knocked out ...... his voice is very lackluster and he is shocked NYC voted against him against Nas then he starts babbling all over the place
@@humblebragger500If you understand business protocols Jay have to co-sign Nas paper work. Plus, Jay introduced Nas on stage show and doing music with him. Jay lost the battle but won the war, because he became more successful even after Ether. The fact Jay was sleeping with Nas baby mother is the most disrespectful thing in that beef and speak about leaving condoms on your baby seat. That’s extremely personal and nasty. Look at how 50 cent destroyed Ja rule and become more successful than him. Jay is a multi billionaire with more music success and business compare to Nas.
@@eetv7840he's more successful in business not in hip hop. I'm sure Eminem could've Nas been clear is everyone with business not he not that type just like Nas. IN HIP HOP nas is clear
@Clockwork did you even listen to ether facts? Jayz practically begged nas to be on all his classics..Jesus the jayz stans on here only listen to one side..
Grace Daniels - so real; you got to love it just spilling the truth. If you listen closely there are serious gems 💎 in here. About relationships, business and how things work behind the scenes
I think on a moral level, I have no respect for anyone who took Jay’s side. Jay z was wrong period, he went after Nas’s baby mama, talked about his child and then tried to battle him on record. He lost way more than a rap battle, he lost all his morals.
Jay-Z mother acknowledged this and made Jay-Z go apologize live on Hot97 interview with A gie Martinez, but that apology is no longer in the internet, someone paid big bucks to block it from all Social Media.
So than in that case you don’t like Tupac for the things he said? 😂 this is hip hop man! A battle is a battle! It’s evolved! Tupac was going for BIGS head
It’s always dope when the music louder than the conversation.
No other person make Jay feel insecure like Nas does. You can hear the hurt in his voice. Ether really does burn your soul slow🔥🔥🔥

Left overs. She said they wasn't in relationship, her and Nasty was over. Out of spite she messed with big lips. He happened to be a Stan..NAS Fan.
@@shonharris6950 lol at believing anything that comes out her mouth, she been exposed as whore that was getting knocked down by nas enemy , no wonder why nas have a failed history with chicks, carmen,kelis,nicki minaj
@@shonharris6950 you might be a bigger simp than nas if you believed anything that came out carmen mouth
Jay love nas, nas was always one of his favorite rappers but he will never admit it
He definitely admits that now and has for some time
A B think he did admit with the use of his vocals on songs
“Who’s the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas” - JAY-Z - Where I’m From, 1997
Sampled him on his first two albums. That's love lol
When Jay-Z sampled NaS Voice for his 1st record Dead Presidents of Reasonable Doubt, it basically says I'm a fan of NaS!
I'm a Jay Z stan but I always felt like Nas won that battle. That beef made me respect and listen to Nas. Jay remained my favorite rapper and Nas gain a new fan in me after that. The debates become so boring over the years because both sides been using the same talking points forever 🙄
@Healthy Hustla You might've misunderstood me here
Nas definitely won, no debate
When Ether came out , it let cats know that Nas is the GOAT. Even em don’t want it
Just because Eminem never dissed Nas doesn't mean it's because he didn't "want it" with Nas, because by that logic you could say that Nas never wanted it with Eminem.
@@PronounceGaming "What happened to rap?, where the thugs at? Wheres the passion?, rappers battling none rappers" - Nas , that's a Shot at Eminem for battling Mariah Carey. No one wants it with Nas trust me. What is Em gonna Say bout Nas in a Diss song? Make jokes??? You can't come at Nas like that
@@adamandeveaae8406 Except Eminem and Mariah weren't even going back and forth like that in 2004. Furthermore, Eminem had both produced a track on Nas' previous album and gave Nas a spot on the 8 Mile Soundtrack, they weren't beefing at all.
Subliminal diss tracks are equivalent to not saying anything at all, so I still maintain that Nas never wanted it with Eminem (and vice versa), because they have mutual respect for each other.
@@PronounceGaming Eminem and every other rapper knew Nas was talking about Eminem at the time, don't act like Eminem didn't know. Nas wouldn't just call Eminem by Name for what? But he had a good r.ship with Mariah and so he hated what em was doing but Eminem never did shit. Now if Eminem had said something subliminal bout Nas ,Nas would ate him up 🤞🏿
@@PronounceGaming Em didn't want it with Nas. He respects him as an artist and knows not to mess with him.
Nas took Jay’s soul with Ether, for real, for real. 🤦🏽 I forgot how out of character & shaky he was in this interview. 😂
Before Ether Rocafella was sitting high & mighty. After Ether, that shit was an empire in ruins. I don’t buy the narrative about Camron coming there was the reason for the split. Nas did that. Idgaf what anybody say.
I’m frm New Orleans and I remember this shit
Jay, was kinda hurt lol
red Pool yea it was like he had something to prove.
Kinda? Lol. Nigga had that lump in his throat you get when you bout to cry.
@@mr.enigma4475 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kinda hurt?? Ether dropped on his birthday. Kinda hurt is the ultimate understatement😂😂😂.
@@mr.enigma4475 lmfao
“I know that mind-state” 29:42
Goes to show you never say never cuz just 5years after this interview Hov and Nas did a song,go figure or figures,and to show you Hov ain't Jehovah cuz he never lies,or say anything that's contradictory his word is his bond,ijs. Cool interview tho
Julius Barber ruclips.net/video/JTYaXUxN4vY/видео.html
He knew he had to do a Song with Nas, Coz Nas is the GOAT.
Angie was always jayz rider jeez didn't know she rode this hard.
Background music to loud, cant hear shit!!
Fr man lol. Was it originally like this or youtube's sound quality made the background music louder than what it was?
First of all Jay won the battle of the songs and album sales Hellloooooo!!!
Nas last 5 🔥 albums in the last 4 years has sealed the deal on who’s better.
Honestly if Jay had this war with anyone else, nobody would even remember it💯 NaS is at the top of the food chain & he's the only reason this battle was so legendary cuz even tho Jay was a multiplatinum artist, his beef wit NaS is the only reason he's held in such high regards cuz nobody was calling Jay no goat back then but folks was calling NaS one including Jay himself 💯
@32:30 Foxy Brown
This was a great interview
Jay with the Tone of Defeat and the Sounds of Bitterness.
jay mad emotional ...
I remember when Ugly came out that shit was so weak bro.. its like why even respond after Nas Ether
It definitely wasn’t weak that’s your bias showing it was brutal
nas got him..end of discussion
So cringe when she said "watch ya moff boy" like bitsh. Lollomao
Where is the nas and angie interview during the beef cant find it
its funny how Nas fans declare him the winner of this battle back in the day, The silver lining i give to those that love Nas is that he didn't take the battle lightly. He attempted to hold his own and for the most part as an emcee he did that. Jayz is on a different mental level than Nas a different street level. Time has shown this on every level. Nas is the neighborhood kid that a lot of people that wanted to make it can identify with on a personal level. They relate to him. Jayz represents a different echelon of hustler and business. NO room for the Dames at a point. A person that recognizes he grows past a rocafella group. And takes a solo career while lifting up the Kaynes, Rihannas, Beyonces< J coles, jay electronicas. There is no equal conversation. bosses know bosses. From the streets to business you cant compare the two. It's not personal, its business. Wishing nothing but the best to Nas in closing
He added extra EMBARRASSMENT upon himself. He was hurt .... Ether got all up in the dudes epidermis, under the skin of him.
Even til this day Jay STILL has a secret disdain for Nas over the L he took.
True story
Nas bodied jay
And 1yr later, this is still true
@@joeljoseph9017 and I'd rather be in jayz position than nas. Jay got Beyonce nas got kelis tattoo
@@stinga_ u hurt over my comment 😂 get a life
You Ashanti now to me 😂😂 💀
Like the old boxing 🥊 saying goes...... Styles make fights....... JZ got hurt feelings....... you can hear a defeated fighter that just loss his first fight and he got knocked out ...... his voice is very lackluster and he is shocked NYC voted against him against Nas then he starts babbling all over the place
Ether rocked Jay to the core. If it was in this era he would’ve been finished
Jay's tone never changes
Nas is a smart dude... take that little win and run with it... Hov is a bastard he would have destroyed nas in that battle...
I have this interview on cd…
I don’t say pause no more 😂😂 Jay was done with dame
Nas won the battle Jay-Z won the war because he later signed Nas to def jam
Def jam was owned by Queens dudes... not jay... I never understood how you folks found nas signing to Def Jam as a victory for Jay lol
LA REID signed Nas. Not jayz.
@@humblebragger500If you understand business protocols Jay have to co-sign Nas paper work. Plus, Jay introduced Nas on stage show and doing music with him. Jay lost the battle but won the war, because he became more successful even after Ether.
The fact Jay was sleeping with Nas baby mother is the most disrespectful thing in that beef and speak about leaving condoms on your baby seat. That’s extremely personal and nasty.
Look at how 50 cent destroyed Ja rule and become more successful than him.
Jay is a multi billionaire with more music success and business compare to Nas.
@@eetv7840he's more successful in business not in hip hop. I'm sure Eminem could've Nas been clear is everyone with business not he not that type just like Nas. IN HIP HOP nas is clear
Good looking out for this; 🙅🏾♂️🎁👏🏽✅✨👌🏾🙌🏾
Stop playing Takeover was sic🤦🏾♂️
Jay Z looks up to Nas
Jay is a better business man
Facts !!!!
Facts. Jay obsessed with him..why else would he even ask his baby momma what sex positions Nas did on her? That's weirdo shit
@Clockwork did you even listen to ether facts? Jayz practically begged nas to be on all his classics..Jesus the jayz stans on here only listen to one side..
@@ChronosJGand you believe that
Jay Z still got the same Voice and he rap the same in 2021
His rap voice definitely changed
@@derekduram9177most definitely. These jay fans r the biggest d riders I swear
Angie a groupie I see why Nas aired her out
He was talking so greasy 🤣😹
Someone stole this idea and came up with Verzus
I read dis comment as he talked about it and i was thinking the same thing lol
In between this, 50 Cents pops up 😊
Angie was so biased towards Jay lol
Yo it's Crazy. Jay was Seeing Bey During @ this Time
Brooklyn Panther 2019 you must be a kid....the rumors started in 2001
Gangsta Braze literally a year before this. Give dude a break
Glad this Beyonce stuff clear about this age thang
It’s all fun and games until Ether dropped
I love how real Jay Z is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Grace Daniels - so real; you got to love it just spilling the truth. If you listen closely there are serious gems 💎 in here. About relationships, business and how things work behind the scenes
Who here after D vs K ?
38:55 they waited too long to do that song but it was beatiful to see
JayZ is a BILLIONAIRE like if you think he ever lost you’re CRAZY
Aint about money, champ.
Nas at McDonald's lmao 🤣😂
How funny would’ve been if nas was cool with the payperview thing and nas knocked jay out smh lol
Jay would’ve probably committed suicide after this
14:00 - 19 dame
J...you looked weak on here.... lol
I think on a moral level, I have no respect for anyone who took Jay’s side. Jay z was wrong period, he went after Nas’s baby mama, talked about his child and then tried to battle him on record. He lost way more than a rap battle, he lost all his morals.
jayz was mad because nas didnt show up to record his voice for dead presidents
Jay-Z mother acknowledged this and made Jay-Z go apologize live on Hot97 interview with A gie Martinez, but that apology is no longer in the internet, someone paid big bucks to block it from all Social Media.
Jay want to fight him, then do ppv battle. He couldn’t let it go, that Ether was something else lol
So than in that case you don’t like Tupac for the things he said? 😂 this is hip hop man! A battle is a battle! It’s evolved! Tupac was going for BIGS head
What typa sht you on its all fair in love and war pac was talking about killing kids bro
Does anyone know the song at 3:26?
best of me - mya
"Best Of Me (Remix)" - Mya ft Jay
Wait...isn't this what chris and soulja are doing? (except boxing) maybe they think they're jay and nas...
Daylin Jones Brah ? lol. not even close.
Everybody wanna be like Nas & Jigga
