i dont like nas anymore but i used to
“Damn, TMZ literally gets things first.”
^THE REASON WHY B. DOT SHOULD POST MORE. OR AT LEAST POST THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
MAN, I CAME SEEING THIS. I PUT IT ON IN EVERY TV IN MY HOUSE. I FORCED MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO WATCH IT. WE’RE WATCHING IT AGAIN ON DVR AND OUR LAPTOPS.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
@bdotTM Haven’t watched @Nas’ Behind The Music yet, but he’s one of my top 5 fav rappers. I remember cutting school to buy Stillmatic. #Queens
^YUP, THIS SHOULD’VE BEEN B. DOT’S POST.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Greatest of all time
nas is great… but he didn’t win that battle with Jay. str8 up
@Adrian If he didn’t win, then who did?! cause Hov didn’t!
^^^true
nas won the battle wit jay but jay won the war..
its funny how people loved Pacs “Hit’em Up” because of how disrespectful he was on the record, but what Jay said abou Nas was WAYYYYYYYYYYY more disrespectful,
“Me and tha boy A.I. got more in common than just ballin and rhymin
Get It? More in Carmen
I came in ya Bentley backseat
Skeeted in Jeep
Left condoms in tha baby seat”
another funny thing is Jay almost ended dude career with a verse that was all fact, it took Nas making a full song to get that attention
“Foxy got u hot cuz u kept ur face in her puss.
What u think u getting girls now cuz of ur looks……..NEGRO PLEASE”
Naw bruh Nas killed Jay
@The Truth, don’t be foolish, nor be Stan like. Even Jay knows that Ether is the response that tops it all, all that coming in the bentley and all don’t mean ish. Nas knows Carmen scandalous. thats baby mums from 1994 when O boy was a younging. When it is all said and done, but men know everything is everything. I am a bigger Jay fan, always have but Nas won that rap battle. Hate it or not, it is what it is.
jay was traumatized by ether. YN is posting under the name “The Truth”. jay was hurt so bad he had to mention nas’ baby momma and his daughter lol. yea…. nas won.
and to think…. the beef started cause of memphis bleek.
nas the greatest rapper of all time . no camel
that anti-smoking commercial really kills the smoking vibe..
@The void Hov actually was behind that move. If you think about it, while bleek and nas were trading jabs, beans was going after jadakiss (another hov foe). Which later on both would be dissin hov directly.
Im a Jay fan but Nas got jay on that beef. 1 of the best rap battles of all-times. I remember when Jay took the whole ROC to HOT 97 freestyling dissing Nas. The good old days. Nas is great MC to bad DEF JAM doesnt realize that smh.
Hov and Nas my fav 2 alive no doubt. We needed that battle bad at the time. It was great for hip-hop I always see it as a draw… Look they friends now… Jay to me has battled ALOT of cat Nas, X, Mobb Deep, Jim jones, Camron, wayne and so on. Jay had the dipset running for they life at the Rucker. Jay had cats shoot up Cam Limbo then throw up the rock sign. Jay but ol boy on the big screen at summer jam in a pink to-to…Jay has battle his way to the top everyone takes shots at hov I think he’s the only one who can with stand the hate and make smart chess moves in return. Main reason he to this day the best.
Never knew murder till I seen my man get popped No blood soaking, laying there, eyes still open I got a little closer, put my hand in his palm He was looking right through me, Yo staring beyond I wonder what he saw, the limoes, movies and tours Did he die in vain and represent for the cause Now I put his name on everything I’m involved And that’s the game, Ya’ll can’t relate, fuck ya’ll (Ill Will)- nas
Who paints a better picture?!?!?!?!
I think Hov is the greatest hip hop artist of all time, but Nas is the best pure mc no question. He sounded the same at 18 as he does now. I’ve never heard no teenager talking no shit like that before or since…
who eva think Jay is beter than Nas is a fuckin retard who dont kw rap , lyrically Jay cant see Nas on his worst day, jay or biggie could not see Nas and only pac could, note that jay was influenced by illmatic, and pac was influenced by it was written, on real shit evryone unda the sun wants to be Nasty
Jay did one verse on takeover, nas had to come up with a whole song! Besides, nas jabs were more like high school…At the end of the day, I think that It’s a matter of taste. Personally I chose the takeover all day.
cut it out with this jay did one verse and nas did a whole song shit…how yall nggz gunna defend jay and say he won when even jay admitted defeat… also, takeover was a response to the stillmatic freestyle, jay came out with super ugly and blueprint 2 and still, the consensus is that ether was the better diss record and that nas won. and yall nggz sayin that nas aint stating facts is ridiculous…so foxy aint blow jay up? so queens nggz (russel simmons) wasnt runnin them nggz?( they was signed to def jam) he aint pop shit to jadakiss and apologize? he aint got biggie rhymes on his lips? he aint want nas to be on his song? he aint sell his soul for riches? ( jay said he would rather rap like common sense but he sold 5 milli and aint rap like common since) dame dash wasnt dancin around like diddy? eminem aint murder him on his own shit???? also, look at the trends ether started…if u get dissed hard, u got ethered, not takeovered!! if u a die hard fan, u a stan!!( eminem made the song, nas used it as an insult)..come on yall, i think jay is way more successful than nas, but nas won, poin blank period…
Deep
damn…. my homie nas! really tho…
Hov wins again, y’all keep debating.
Nas trumps Jay lyrically every day. Jay is a better business man EVERY DAY. They respect each other & that’s all that matters.
Nas is one of the GODS of hiphop!!!!!!
Jay was nspired by Illmatic and he was also recorded crying on radio after Ether was released. Everyone knows that Nas cannot be touched lyrically, Illmatic will always be the greatest album of all time. Enough said. I’m a fan of both, but I also know nobody comes close to Nas, 20 years in the game and still relevant. King!
hip hop… Resonable doubt is better so is blueprint….# justsaying
Yo I just remembered the song dance when I watched this.. That song is pure ART

one hot album every ten year average , takeover was facts . on top of that only one verse .. and to top it off what hova rapped on takeover is what nas is goin tru right now …………………… to me hov won ..

WHO GIVES A FUCK IF TAKEOVER HAD SOME FACTS!!!! BATTLIN’ HAS NOTHIN’ TO DO WITH FACTS!!!! IT’S ABOUT WHICH BATTLE RAP SOUNDED HARDER!!!! AND ETHER WON, HANDS DOWN!!!!
……..NAS…..G.O.A.T.!!!! IT’S QUEENS YA’LL!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@ mac diesel one hot album every 10 year average , i’m glad you agreed takeover was about facts . nas is great but he is not the goat . sorry mac ……………. HOV IS HANDS DOWN
Nas G.O.A.T.
Can’t believe this is even a debate.
@ devon he elite
BATTLIN
@Devon, wat facts? are u dat stupid to believe wat Jay calls as facts? ILLMATIC (Classic), 94, IWW Classic, 96(3times Plat) b4 Jay ever tasted Plat in his old career, The FIRM, 97, Plat, I Am and Nastradamus, 99 (Multiplatinum). In a nutshell, its either yuse a dumb dude dat dont understand simple arithmetic or u just a dumb fan exhibiting biatch tendencies. On the other hand, that ether did make u and ur Idol’s soul burn slow. Is he dame diddy,/ dame daddy or a dame dummy,/ oh i get u biggie /and hes puffy. LMAO.
one hot album every 10 year average is not fact, its opinion!!! illmatic 94 was a classic…96 it was written went multi-platinum #1 4 weeks str8…. i am had hate me now, nas is like, moneys my bitch, ny state of mind 2, also multi plat…nastradamus whack!!! lol… stillmatc, godson, street disciple, hip hop is dead, nigger…wheres the gap at???? i know j still got biggie rhymes in his lip…. lol nas won
this whole argument about fact came from that mtv special on the beef back in the day.. krs one brought it up… jay dickriders rode with it
@ EPINZ @ ANELKA ok i get it NAS IS THE GOAT HE IS THE KING OF RAP HE HOLDS THE THRONE ???? when most Rappers are about to drop an Album who do they go at to get a BUZZ OR ATTENTION ??????????????? WHO NAS LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAST TIME I CHECKED WHEN YOU ARE AT THE TOP EVERYBODY COMES AT YOUR THROAT FOR THE CROWN …… AND ITS NOT NAS … THEY BE MENTIONING ……………… @ MAC DIESEL U SHOULD STICK TO COMMENTING ON THE COUNTRY MUSIC BLOG SITES …. FUCK BOI …..
I had to post but Nas is Better Than Jay Period Anyone disagree can kiss my ass oh yeah ether is better than takeover and superugly even thou nas radio freestyle was a diss but was wack to me #ETHERALLDAY
ohhhhh fuck the guy is 2 singles deep in his new album , and all i hear is crickets the guy needs help …………………..
I was a huge fan of ETHER, but as time went on and I did further evaluating for a couple years, I say the verse from TAKEOVER won. Nas went in though. It could be a draw, and maybe it should. To each is own. #teamTAKEOVER
I also thought that perhaps, ppl would discuss how Jungle said Nas snatched Pac by the shirt. Of course Pac wasnt invincible, but I believe Jungle exaggerated the story. 16 years later and it seems from Funk Flex, Keith Murray, Nas and Jungle, they all got ass whipping tales or brave hearts(no pun intended)
its 2012 and we still arguing about jay vs nas?
LOL at u lame caca roach niccas …nas gonna show you non believers again again and again why he runs this rap shyt!! Nas still burning circles on this fake niccas!
FUCK JAY Z !!!!!!!!!!
NAS IS DA FUCKIN ILLEST RAPPER TO EVA SPIT ON THIS EARTH. Hov, BIG, or pac could not see Nas lyrically, illmatic is better than any of their albums u put up against it
THEIR IS NO COMPETITION
@Devon, the reason they dont come at Nas again is cos they see what he did to Jay, Ether made Jay almost cry on live radio, homeboy sounded like he had down syndrome n basically stuttered like a helpless kid throughout that interview with Angie. Now tell me wat rapper in his mind wants that ordeal for himself? ur guess is as good as mine. They all learnt from Jays lyrical annihilation.
@ anelka so u telling me when a fellow rapper is about to drop a book , they keep mentioning sean cause he weak , when a fellow is about to drop an album to build a buzz they keep mentiong hov is because he got ethered …………… really ?? you and i both know when you are at the top everyone wants to be in your spot so they come for your throat ,,,, you starting to sound real bias now . i’m done
What is it about Nas that causes artists & their fans to react so emotional towards him? Nas seems to be a threat to a lot of you HATERS.
Its funny how nas used 2pac’s line “fuck jay-z” but yet, pac dissed nas to —>”yo Nas yo whole damn style is bitten” also, “little nigga name Nas think he live like me, talking bout he took 5 like me” so…. it was FAIL to try and diss somebody else off of a person who dissed you. JAY-Z WON THE WAR
lol niggas dont want it with Esco, when nas got at dipset and jeezy on that “money over bullshit” niggas was quiet. when nas got at mobb deep on stillmatic album niggas was quiet. when nas got at 50 and the g-unit on “take it slow” niggas had the hush mouth. no nigga wants to get ETHERED.
This argument ain’t worth having anymore. Jay being a better businessman has nothing to do with Nas ethering him. The world knows he took an L, and even his associates knew he took and L. Nobody but Nas haters feel like Jay won that. Steve Stoute said Jay lost and that dude is one of jay’s biggest business partners right now.
JAY Z is a successful businessman and marketer, not a great MC, though i do like his work. 1. He rode Kanye’s beats to get his name to be considered a great (no one was talking about him as G.O.A.T before Blueprint, plus Jay did not want kanye to be a rapper, he wanted kanye to keep feeding him beats) 2. JAY Z announced a retirement tour, which under ?uestlov’s direction made everyone emotional and different rappers paying homage making the public think “oh shit maybe jayz was greater than i thought”
I mean i like his music and to stay popular for this long is rare in hiphop, but y’all are blind and caught up in emotion if you consider him better than Nas.
@damone… Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint were great, but they weren’t better than Illmatic, not even close… For Nas to be so young yet still comin up with lyrics like that, it will never happen again. He’s the greatest, Jay even said this on A Star Is Born.
[…] and got digital with Flex. He spoke the concept of his album cover, Kelis’ reaction and his Behind The Music. Share […]
