Everything Nas said is facts.. Nas made Nastradamus in 1999, his next album wasn't until the end of 2001, during that 2yr span Nas was basically chilling with his sick mother, eventhough Nas did respond to Memphis Bleek in late 2000 on the QB Finest album on a song called the bridge 2001.. But up until Jay Z released the Takeover it was mostly just jabs back and forth between the two groups, Jay went for the knockout with Takeover.. When Nas talks about his baby mother with another rapper he is talking about Jay Z, Jay Z slept with Nas's baby mother.. Lake is Lakey the kid, he is a rapper from Queens bridge, he say I was 18 when Lake seen the island meaning Nas was 18 when Lakey got sent to Rikers Island prison, Lake was supposed to be on some of Nas's earlier albums but he was locked up and wasn't released until 1999.. He is featured on a song with Nas called Revolutionary Warfare which is a good song to react to in the future if you have time. The Fever is a night club in Bronx that alot of rappers used to try to perform at in the early 90s to help them get noticed, it was like The Appolo for rap artists Raekwon and Ghostface felt like biggie was fake and was putting on like a fake Don Juan bravado personality,the purple tape is Raekwon first album called Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, there is a skit on there where Ghostface basically calls out Biggie and says that he bit Nas with his album cover, on Nas illmatic album he used his baby picture as the cover and then Biggie did the same thing for his album cover on Ready to die Yes Nas was talking about Foxy Brown when he says he had Fox, Foxy Brown was in a Group with Nas, Dr Dre, AZ, Cormega, and Nature called the Firm, while Biggie had Lil Kim and Junior Mafia.. Jungle is Nas's brother Side note edit: If you've never heard Takeover by Jay Z or Nas's response to takeover called Ether then you absolutely must do those reactions on your channel..
Let's take a moment to appreciate the rhyming, mic skills, narrative abilities, cohesiveness and journey like rapping in this song. No words wasted, no time wasted, no pauses. Just pure MC skills. Poetry in rap motion. Nas is unrivalled.
There’s so much history with nas . You wanna know about nas and all the situations just listen to his catalogue A to Z . You don’t need a documentary with Nas . He spits his life in his bars. Much love
Facts, dex has to understand the Bronx vs Queens war and how krs one killed Queens bridge. Then how Nas started going to rakim’s studio sessions and was rapping at his sessions as a yougin while learning the game. Then how he help brung queens back to prominence after MC Shan lost the Bronx Queens war. Not only that their were so many rap pioneers that lived in his neighborhood or came to his neighborhood or he ran into when he was young. Nas is really the prince of hiphop.
There is a skit on Raekwons Cuban Linx album called “Shark Biters” where Raekwon and Ghost mention people biting Nas’ album cover they were talking about BIG
The Nas and Biggie riff (not really a beef) started when Nas said, "there's one life, one love, so there can only be one king..." on The Message, which was the lead song on It Was Written. Big took that as a shot against him, because he was calling himself the "king of NY" at the time. That's what his alias "Frank White" was about. Frank White was the main character in the movie, King of New York, played by Christopher Walken. It was just friendly competition between those two. They were friends before they got signed. They used to come to each other's hood and rhyme together.
@@DexTVReactsThe backstory is even crazier….Im gonna let the chat break it down but a real quick version of the Nas & Jayz beef. 1. Jay admired Nas before he became famous and wanted to join forces and get Nas on some songs with him. 2. Nas didn’t see Jay as his equal and declined. 3. Jay took it personal 4. Both Nas and Jay threw subliminal at each other for years 5. Jay hit Nas baby moms when Nas broke up with her. 6. Nas dropped I Am and Nastradamus in the same year after I Am got bootlegged and the music industry chose Jay and tried to blackball Nas. 7. Nas mom was diagnosed with cancer and was dying so Nas was gonna quit the music business. 8. Jay saw that Nas was vulnerable and plotted to end his career and kick him while he was down. 9. Nas mom passed away and Jay dropped the song Takeover at Summer Jam and put a diss towards Prodigy and Nas at the concert. 10. A month later Jay drops The album Blueprint with the whole diss track up there thinking this would be the nail in the coffin for both Prodigy and Nas. On December 4th JayZ birthday Nas dropped the album Stillmatic with the response track to Jay called ETHER‼️ 11. Last Real Ni$&a Alive is the checkmate and it pretty much ended the battle between the two
Puff was working for Andre Harrell at Uptown Records…. The Purple Tape refers to Raekwon’s first release under Loud RCA “Only Built for Cuban Links”. The cassette tape was actually the color purple.
Now you see why we say he is truly and sincerely, The greatest of the greats...Nobody fuckin wit this man and it's that simple...50, nelly, jay, eminem, Hammer , vanilla ice etc lol all sold more records and it's means nothing....none are better, none have more reverance and respect than the king poet...verses, songs, albums, catalog incredible and untouchable..
Everything that Nas was spitting was Facts... I watched this sh*t unfold. When ever Nas did a song, Jay would do another song on that topic, but he never tried that Rewind sh*t. Nas The GOAT
It's almost incredible that you don't know the Jay/Nas story. This is why I love reaction videos. It's the closest thing there is to going back in time and experiencing things for the 1st time again. I kinda envy you in that aspect. The 90s was the best, man! Rap, Wrestling, Outside, everything was the shit in the 90s. No other decade ive lived has been close.
Definitely was during Hov vs Nas days. Jungle is Nas younger blood brother. Lakey The Kid is a Queensbridge legend that ended up having beef with Prodigy. Foxy was in a group with Nas, AZ, and Cormega..then later Nature joined...they was called The Firm. Foxy 1st appeared on LL Cool J's I Shot Ya, then she appeared on Ain't No Nigga on Hov's 1st Album.
@dextv yeah he's saying he tried hustling but knew immediately it wasnt for him. Jungle is Nas' younger blood brother. lake is lakey da kid from queensbridge. he had beef with prodigy and did a lengthy bid in prison. nas also put him on a song on his God's son album called revolutionary warfare
“Rip the freeway shoot through Memphis with money bags stop at Philly order cheese steaks and eat beans fast” Nas killed that whole crew on wax and in life 😂 and that’s a fact… they all knew it after Ether
Nas called Rakim to ask him if he should go at Jay when they were beefing. R told him to pull the trigger ONLY if he wanted to. Not cuz his crew was gassing him up. We got Ether after that.
Nas illmatic album cover had him as a little kid on it. Then Biggie album cover had Big as a baby on it... Ghost & Rae clowned Big for biting(copying) Nas album cover
Jay-Z smashed Nas's BM. Jay was a snake. He wanted Nas on his first two albums. Nas stood him up twice. Puff and Steve Stoute beef was over Nas's Hate Me Now video. There was a part in the video showing Nas and Puff being crucified on the Cross. Puff wanted his part cut. Stoute released the full version to MTV. Puff didn't want to be seen he was portraying Jesus. And I was the Cashapp donator for this. Can't wait for you to do the other Nas video.
3rd verse also aimed at Nas. “It’s ill when rappers used to be on cruddy shit took home ready to die listened, study shit now they on some money shit” Getting Rae/Ghost and Nas where all acts started on some NY grimey shit to some mafioso big money shit.
@@cibida1 right but i think that was more about rae and ghost cause he said successful out the blue Nas was already successful and rae and ghost was all on that cruddy shit on the first album now all of a sudden they wu gambinos
Lake was a QB goon and dealer that started rapping later on. He put out a dope QB Compilation album called 41st Side. He ran with Cormega, one of the nicest QB rappers. You gotta do some Cormega reactions.
Jigga made a song with Missy and Twista called “is that yo Bitch”. That maybe the sneak attack Nas is talking about. It’s the rawest subliminal diss you’ll ever hear bro.
Puff had been an exec at Uptown Records. Lakey is his homie from QB. So is Ill Will, who got killled. Jungle is Nas blood brother. Yes…Foxy Brown…but by 1996, Fox was down with Jay too…logical since she’s also from Brooklyn. Ghost & Rae didn’t like Biggie, and in fact according to Meth, those two hated EVERYBODY. 😂 Check “Shark Niggas” by Raekwon …it’s a Biggie diss. Big and Jay were natural allies because they’re both from Bed Stuy Brooklyn. Puff attacked Steve Stout because he was angry over Steve releasing the Hate Me Now video with Nas and Puff…after Puff changed his mind about being portrayed as being on the cross. Steve was Nas’s label head. Yes…Jay got into a relationship with Nas baby momma. Nas blew it off, but Jay went at Nas on The Takeover while Nas had stepped back from rap to care for his mom who was dying of cancer. He went at Nas because he was mad at Prodigy and Mobb Deep for calling him a coward. So Jay just decided that he may as well get Nas too since Nas was a QB rapper and an ally of Mobb Deep. So Nas dropped the Stillmatic album with Ether on it and CRUSHED Jay pretty bad. Basically, the shit was a low key Brooklyn vs Queens spat that just bubbled over after shots had been thrown for a while. Throw in the Wu and E Money Bags shit, and you have a cocktail for a beef. Luckily, it never got worse than it did. It stayed on wax.
Well said but nas was already taking shots at jay way before take over for example on “we will survive” and “everybody’s crazy” and also “h to the omo” and “come get me” , Mobb wanted him to go 100 on jay since like 97-98 but nas wasn’t with it. Some might say jay hit Nas up on hard knock life track .. “x ya name out , put jigga in top” also dynasty intro. So you right shots had been thrown for a min. Would love to see a whole live tv series on this beef , it would be epic . Much love
Jay's early style was fast rapping. if you go back and listen to him before reasonable doubt, his flow was totally different. That why nas said the line "jigga started to flow like us".
That's not because of nas my hov was just perfecting his sound. These 2 are in my mount Rushmore of mc's and I listen to reasonable doubt vs illmatic or the in my lifetime vs it was written from the flows, storytelling I don't were hov sounds like nas
@anthonyanderson9303 well known by who? I swear these jay-z conspiracies is on a whole another level bro. Can you give aong or an album where hov sound or rhyme pattern sounds exactly like nas?
Shit's wild that you don't know the Nas Jay beef, but it's dope that you're going to experience it for the first time. I think you should start out by listening to Takeover by Jay and then Ether by Nas and then you'll get it
The fever was a club that in New York that from the mid 80's to early 90's you weren't hot in the city unless you rocked there. And Jungle is his younger brother.
Jungle is Nas' brother. Lake aka Lakey the Kid was a gangster from Queensbridge. He ended up becoming a rap for a short period, put together the 41st side album. He was close with Nas, and was in a street gang with Cormega called the Goodfellas. Lord aka Littles was another gangster from Queensbridge. He managed Mobb Deep for a period of time, and was close friends with Havoc's brother Killer Black. He's still around. He used to manage Money Bagg Yo for a little while too.
Before Puff had Bad Boy Records, he was VP for Uptown/MCA records under Andre Harrell, their artist was Heavy D, Father MC, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Christopher Williams
Puff is the son of a hustler, so he kinda grew up with bread. His dad was a snitch, though. Before he started Bad Boy Records, he was with Uptown Records, which was founded by Andre Harrell. Before he got to Uptown, he was a party promoter, ever since his days at Howard University. So he always had a hustler/entrepreneur spirit about him.
You need to drop that 'Run It Back' merch eventually 🙌🏿 BIG & Nas never had real beef, it was more friendly competition to see who was the true King Of New York. This track was like Nas victory lap after the whole battle with Jay, It was a perfect way to put that chapter to a close.
Puff was a party promoter. Then he interned at Uptown Records and worked with Mary J. Blige & Jodicee. After he got fired from Uptown he started Bad Boy Records.
Here's some lesser known tracks but fire...Rise and Fall and Escobar 97...Check those out...Out here in Queens when those dropped on mixtapes they went crazy but a lot of people don't know these songs...Great video
Jungle is his little brother (literally) You should listen to: Jay Z Song - The Blurprint 2 (literally the name of the song on the album is Blueprint 2) Off the title album Jay Z admits he lost the battle!!!
He talking bout Jay-z with his bm... You gotta follow up with Jay-z "Super Ugly'' then Nas "Ether". Jungle is Nas real brother who was shot with his best friend ILL Will but Will was killed. If you listen to Raekwon album on the interlude Ghostface and Rae accuse BIG of stealing Nas album ILLMATIC cover. The theme of having a baby picture and BIG put his baby pic on his album cover on ready to die . That how that beef started with them and Wu didn't really dig biggie flossy lifestyle he was portraying .
Jay z was the one who slept with his girl. It's time to get into the beef now. Drop Ether and Takeover. Jay z was beefing with Mobb Deep also he dissed them on Takeover too.
Dex💪…. Jay was sleeping with Nas baby momma on the low when they were still together. In Jays “The Take Over” he hints at it towards the end of the song and then on “Super Ugly” he spilled all the beans about it. But it wasn’t the dagger that he thought it would be, Ether bodied him. Nas said the rapper that wanted me on his songs, Jay sampled Nas “dead presidents” lyrics.
Jay Z came at Nas sideways regarding his Nas career with "Is That Your Bitch" when Nas was tending to his mother's illness but wasn't in the appropriate headspace to go at Jay or anyone else at that time because his mother's poor health had his full attention, that's when Jay Z dropped " The Takeover" and all hell broke loose with Nas Ether. Jay made Hovi Baby as a subtle jab at Nas and Nas made "No Idea is Original" and"I Made You Look" as a subtle jab at Jay. This is a dope channel @DexTV.
Nas was never going to respond. He even thought about quitting rap. What made him respond is when his brother Jungle stopped him in the middle of traffic and told him that he had to respond to Jay. It was for hip hop's sake and his reputation sake. So he listened to his brother and came back with Ether.
Yo Dex. The Ether that you heard by Nas is not the original version. The record label and producers made him change his verses because it was to grimy. See if you can find that version and react to it.
*Jay used to rhyme fast. He wasn’t on their level until he slowed down and dropped IN MY LIFETIME(OG VERSION). After Reasonable Doubt he instantly was on par with them(Nas,Biggie,AZ,Wu,Mobb etc..). What made him better was his raps were real. His true life for the most part.*
Jay made the song The Takeover. Prior to that they were indirectly dissing each other for years. But Takeover was direct. In my opinion Nas dissed Jay first in STILL WE SURVIVE. "These niggas is wrong, using your name in vain, when they claim they king of New York, it ain't about that." Big had died and Jay made a song call CITY IS MINE where he basically said the reins were handed over to him.
lol so yeah nas was the first one who found foxy and started rocking with her, that's how she joined the firm (nas, az, cormega, foxy brown and nature). later on jay would do some writing for her around 1996 when her ill na na album came out. but she was rocking with nas first. he's saying big and jay got cool. big liked jay and they was about to start their own hiphop group called the commission. biggie was frank white and jay z was gonna be ice berg slim. in some of us jay's raps you can hear him refer to himself as iceberg
Also, listen to Memphis Bleek "Is Dat Ya Chick" remix featuring Jay, Missy Elliott n dem. It explains how things escalated quickly between eachother🫡🫡🙏🙏
Everything Nas said is facts.. Nas made Nastradamus in 1999, his next album wasn't until the end of 2001, during that 2yr span Nas was basically chilling with his sick mother, eventhough Nas did respond to Memphis Bleek in late 2000 on the QB Finest album on a song called the bridge 2001.. But up until Jay Z released the Takeover it was mostly just jabs back and forth between the two groups, Jay went for the knockout with Takeover..
When Nas talks about his baby mother with another rapper he is talking about Jay Z, Jay Z slept with Nas's baby mother..
Lake is Lakey the kid, he is a rapper from Queens bridge, he say I was 18 when Lake seen the island meaning Nas was 18 when Lakey got sent to Rikers Island prison, Lake was supposed to be on some of Nas's earlier albums but he was locked up and wasn't released until 1999.. He is featured on a song with Nas called Revolutionary Warfare which is a good song to react to in the future if you have time.
The Fever is a night club in Bronx that alot of rappers used to try to perform at in the early 90s to help them get noticed, it was like The Appolo for rap artists
Raekwon and Ghostface felt like biggie was fake and was putting on like a fake Don Juan bravado personality,the purple tape is Raekwon first album called Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, there is a skit on there where Ghostface basically calls out Biggie and says that he bit Nas with his album cover, on Nas illmatic album he used his baby picture as the cover and then Biggie did the same thing for his album cover on Ready to die
Yes Nas was talking about Foxy Brown when he says he had Fox, Foxy Brown was in a Group with Nas, Dr Dre, AZ, Cormega, and Nature called the Firm, while Biggie had Lil Kim and Junior Mafia..
Jungle is Nas's brother
Side note edit: If you've never heard Takeover by Jay Z or Nas's response to takeover called Ether then you absolutely must do those reactions on your channel..
He's the greatest Dex‼️Nobody can tell a story like Nas. You just scratching the surface.
"I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo, it hurt me when i had to kill him, and his whole squad for dolo"
That was the nail in the coffin of that beef.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the rhyming, mic skills, narrative abilities, cohesiveness and journey like rapping in this song. No words wasted, no time wasted, no pauses.
Just pure MC skills.
Poetry in rap motion.
Nas is unrivalled.
talk that shit boy!!!!
Nas Eacobar aka Nasty Nas the GOAT
Juggle his lil brother that sold drugs in queens bridge projects ill will passed away lakey the kid went to prison that’s nas ogs

Classic
@@catchtheseshanahands3750incredible record. I can’t say enough about this song. It perfect.!!
Last real n alive was the burial for Jay in this beef

There is a skit on Raekwons Cuban Linx album called “Shark Biters” where Raekwon and Ghost mention people biting Nas’ album cover they were talking about BIG
Kick in the Door was going at Nas, Jeru the damager, and Wu Tang
Do Nas "we will survive," and you will understand a little bit of Nas and Biggie competition.
The Nas and Biggie riff (not really a beef) started when Nas said, "there's one life, one love, so there can only be one king..." on The Message, which was the lead song on It Was Written. Big took that as a shot against him, because he was calling himself the "king of NY" at the time. That's what his alias "Frank White" was about. Frank White was the main character in the movie, King of New York, played by Christopher Walken. It was just friendly competition between those two. They were friends before they got signed. They used to come to each other's hood and rhyme together.
It started with the Purple Tape.
Nas also sent a shot at big on the second verse of shoot outs on it was written. The story about frank?????? Yeah that was a little jab to big
The first verse of The Message up until the point when he says, "There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King." it was about BIG.

It's almost incredible that you don't know the Jay/Nas story. This is why I love reaction videos. It's the closest thing there is to going back in time and experiencing things for the 1st time again. I kinda envy you in that aspect. The 90s was the best, man! Rap, Wrestling, Outside, everything was the shit in the 90s. No other decade ive lived has been close.

“Rip the freeway shoot through Memphis with money bags stop at Philly order cheese steaks and eat beans fast” Nas killed that whole crew on wax and in life 😂 and that’s a fact… they all knew it after Ether

You gotta listen to shootouts from it was written 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shit's wild that you don't know the Nas Jay beef, but it's dope that you're going to experience it for the first time. I think you should start out by listening to Takeover by Jay and then Ether by Nas and then you'll get it
The fever was a club that in New York that from the mid 80's to early 90's you weren't hot in the city unless you rocked there. And Jungle is his younger brother.
Listen to Jay Z - takeover versus
Nas - Ether
NAS-PURPLE
NAS-MEMORY LANE
NAD-REMEMBER THE TIMES
This song always used to give me goosebumps.
Lake was the one he wrote the jail letter to in the One Love track off of Illmatic. You gotta review that song if you haven’t already
Nas - We Will Survive!
Puff used to work for Uptown Records before starting Bad Boy. He was never hustling in the streets. And Jay-Z hit Nas baby momma.
Nas The🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Jungle is Nas' brother. Lake aka Lakey the Kid was a gangster from Queensbridge. He ended up becoming a rap for a short period, put together the 41st side album. He was close with Nas, and was in a street gang with Cormega called the Goodfellas. Lord aka Littles was another gangster from Queensbridge. He managed Mobb Deep for a period of time, and was close friends with Havoc's brother Killer Black. He's still around. He used to manage Money Bagg Yo for a little while too.
Puffy was a very famous and popular party promoter in NYC before he started Bad Boy records.
Before Puff had Bad Boy Records, he was VP for Uptown/MCA records under Andre Harrell, their artist was Heavy D, Father MC, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Christopher Williams
Puff is the son of a hustler, so he kinda grew up with bread. His dad was a snitch, though. Before he started Bad Boy Records, he was with Uptown Records, which was founded by Andre Harrell. Before he got to Uptown, he was a party promoter, ever since his days at Howard University. So he always had a hustler/entrepreneur spirit about him.
You need to drop that 'Run It Back' merch eventually 🙌🏿 BIG & Nas never had real beef, it was more friendly competition to see who was the true King Of New York. This track was like Nas victory lap after the whole battle with Jay, It was a perfect way to put that chapter to a close.
Biggie call Jay Ice Burg Slim
Dope asf
Puff was a party promoter. Then he interned at Uptown Records and worked with Mary J. Blige & Jodicee. After he got fired from Uptown he started Bad Boy Records.
This all facts…great reaction
Fyi.....it's always cool to Run it back !!! Lol
30 plus years Dex ... GOAT SHIT YO
The fever was a club in NY
I've been to the FEVER back in the days.
East Tremont Ave
"me and a.i got more in common than rhymin and ballin, get it, more in carmen" jay z on him smashin nas babymomma
Here's some lesser known tracks but fire...Rise and Fall and Escobar 97...Check those out...Out here in Queens when those dropped on mixtapes they went crazy but a lot of people don't know these songs...Great video
Added them to the list! I dont think no one requested those tracks yet. Thanks for tappin in!
Biggie and Wu has beef then. Jungle is Nas brother.
Him and BIG had a friendly competition, as all the mc’s were in back at that time. Sometimes it was personal, NAS and jay
That hook from one of biggie verse
Guess you missed the Diss tracks between Jay and Nas..I'm a Nas Stan so Ether was my shit
Jungle is his little brother (literally)
You should listen to:
Jay Z
Song - The Blurprint 2
(literally the name of the song on the album is Blueprint 2)
Off the title album
Jay Z admits he lost the battle!!!
Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns yes I crush so called Willy’s, thugs and rapper dons….
He talking bout Jay-z with his bm... You gotta follow up with Jay-z "Super Ugly'' then Nas "Ether". Jungle is Nas real brother who was shot with his best friend ILL Will but Will was killed. If you listen to Raekwon album on the interlude Ghostface and Rae accuse BIG of stealing Nas album ILLMATIC cover. The theme of having a baby picture and BIG put his baby pic on his album cover on ready to die . That how that beef started with them and Wu didn't really dig biggie flossy lifestyle he was portraying .
This was the beef that never happened but would've definetly have been something R.I.P Notorious BIG
You gotta listen to "Takeover" by Jay-Z, (referring to Nas saying Jay Z tried to sneak attack), then listen to Nas response with "Ether".
Yo: Live At The BBQ Nas:: trust me Bro..its one of the ones....
Jay was hitting his girl. It's part of the beef. Listen through Jay-z's diss tracks, he says it
not his girl his baby moms...big difference...he talkin bout Jayz
Exactly you have to spell it out for the fools
Jay z was the one who slept with his girl. It's time to get into the beef now. Drop Ether and Takeover. Jay z was beefing with Mobb Deep also he dissed them on Takeover too.
Dex💪…. Jay was sleeping with Nas baby momma on the low when they were still together. In Jays “The Take Over” he hints at it towards the end of the song and then on “Super Ugly” he spilled all the beans about it. But it wasn’t the dagger that he thought it would be, Ether bodied him.
Nas said the rapper that wanted me on his songs, Jay sampled Nas “dead presidents” lyrics.
Dex, u will need to come back to this record after getting the back story.Nas is amazing man.
You should do a live reaction to The Purple Tape. Purple Tape is a certified classic
Puff had his hands in everything, he is what we use to call a "go getter", now I would call it a "doe getter".
Jay Z came at Nas sideways regarding his Nas career with "Is That Your Bitch" when Nas was tending to his mother's illness but wasn't in the appropriate headspace to go at Jay or anyone else at that time because his mother's poor health had his full attention, that's when Jay Z dropped " The Takeover" and all hell broke loose with Nas Ether. Jay made Hovi Baby as a subtle jab at Nas and Nas made "No Idea is Original" and"I Made You Look" as a subtle jab at Jay. This is a dope channel @DexTV.
Nas was never going to respond. He even thought about quitting rap. What made him respond is when his brother Jungle stopped him in the middle of traffic and told him that he had to respond to Jay. It was for hip hop's sake and his reputation sake. So he listened to his brother and came back with Ether.
Yo Dex. The Ether that you heard by Nas is not the original version. The record label and producers made him change his verses because it was to grimy. See if you can find that version and react to it.
*Jay used to rhyme fast. He wasn’t on their level until he slowed down and dropped IN MY LIFETIME(OG VERSION). After Reasonable Doubt he instantly was on par with them(Nas,Biggie,AZ,Wu,Mobb etc..). What made him better was his raps were real. His true life for the most part.*
Jungle is Nas' brother and Lakey the kid is a dude from QB. He is the one who had beef with Prodigy
Jay made the song The Takeover. Prior to that they were indirectly dissing each other for years. But Takeover was direct. In my opinion Nas dissed Jay first in STILL WE SURVIVE. "These niggas is wrong, using your name in vain, when they claim they king of New York, it ain't about that." Big had died and Jay made a song call CITY IS MINE where he basically said the reins were handed over to him.
Bruh Jay plotted n smashed his bm allegedly if that ain't some first strike Cobra Kai ish lol js
💯
lol so yeah nas was the first one who found foxy and started rocking with her, that's how she joined the firm (nas, az, cormega, foxy brown and nature). later on jay would do some writing for her around 1996 when her ill na na album came out. but she was rocking with nas first. he's saying big and jay got cool. big liked jay and they was about to start their own hiphop group called the commission. biggie was frank white and jay z was gonna be ice berg slim. in some of us jay's raps you can hear him refer to himself as iceberg
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Also, listen to Memphis Bleek "Is Dat Ya Chick" remix featuring Jay, Missy Elliott n dem. It explains how things escalated quickly between eachother🫡🫡🙏🙏
Dex WILDIN’😂😂😂😂😂😂
