Nas is in everyones top 10 and usually everyone would defend him but you gotta give cormega respect because he's so underground and respects where he's from
Mega sold 500k off his 1st 2 albums both Independent...Dude went and bought back the masters for his debut Def Jam album that got shelved...and then he put it out Independent on his label. Remember Nas... "I know who I paid god Serchlight Publishing" 😉
Aerial Penn what Cormega did was definitely a boss move but at the same time Nas move seemed weak but that sacrifice help catapult Nas to legendary status and top 5 dead alive plus he’s richer than Mega. At the end of day if both EMCEES are content & where they both wanna be in career & life they both won 💯
@@Thaprince9no actually he didn’t lie at the time takeover was recorded nas didn’t own his master or publishing after he got it backed serch tried to make it seem like he had it all that time n it wasn’t the case in fact it was one of the major reasons nas left Columbia & signed with def jam
No one could touch Mega. Nas had commercial success but Mega held it down. Even in Da Bridge it was like he made sure his verse was the nicest on that song. Im born and raised in Chicago but in the 90s and early 00s me and my friends listened to all these QB dudes. Really all New York hip hop. It was all we would listen to. I don’t think there is anything else like their music. It is wild that back then, everyone coming from a different borough they all had different slang and different styles. Just listen to 36 Chambers you know what Im talkin about. All those dudes rhyme and talk different. Its crazy. The golden era of hip hop imo. Im glad I got to experience all of it when it happened.
Definitely the golden era. Shit I'd say it's the Diamond era of hip hop. .bc these 80s was the golden era but the 90s were better ..I'd say the early 00s were platinum...bc the early 00s were slightly above the 80s but beneath the 90s.
mega is the truth i still think nas it was written is better than any album mega did. however i prefer mega as a person so his bars resonate with me more. nas is better with delivery and has had many thought provoking songs. mega has made me cry with certain songs but nas has never touched my soul. some people think nas is better than pac again pac touched my soul. nas has never.
Cormega's "The Realness" album is by far his best and one of my top 10 in general...but he just doesn't have the pure delivery to ever be considered a great. On the other hand, Nas will touch the soul of anyone who appreciates advanced bars. Tugging at heart strings or writing ballads is not part of his personality.
Nas was finishing off Jay z when this was released... Corm knew that it was his best chance to get some street cred while esco was beefing with Jay. If he released this before of after the Jay z beef I garuantee you he would be even more irrelevant than he is now
I love how they super impose a much later sample of RZA saying it's a "J-love exclusive" when I had this shit in like '97 or '98 without all these ads over it. Dream Team Best of Cormega cassette baby. ✌
That is not what happened what happened from the beef was that when cormega was kick from the firm for not signing a 50k payment he was like its all good nas will cover me and anyways i got a song on there "la familia" which im rapping in but when the album came out that song included nature. Cormega called up and asked nas and nas said that his verse got erased by accident. Then on a another song nature bust shots at cormega saying "you with the firm how is that you got your spot jacked."
I swear Cormega is so fucking good. Cant wait for The Realness 2. I only had 1 critique of him when I first heard him. His flow, its kind of «tired». You know. Almost like he is off beat, and saves himself right as his last words hit he beat. But after a couple of listens I can say that his flow is just unique and actually mad nice. He a couple tracks when he is with Mobb Deep, like Thunn and Kicko, Whats ya Poison, Three and espescially Crime Connection. Cant wait for his album! «Eyo Im smooth like a drop top Benz with phat rims, I made moves in war gear and black timbs, and lay low, cause I was tryna stay payed yo, pumping minerals to criminals called Yayo»
Everybody in queens was beefin wit eachotha wen dey basically all grew up 2getha dey need 2 stop n jus be cool because if dey do ny will be back on top again
About 20 years ago Mega came to perform at the cop shop in Smithtown NY. Was mad chill, and hung out back with us smokin before the show. He asked for requests and everyone was yelling “NAS DISS NAS DISS..” He declined out of respect for Nas. Respectable but huge let down lol.
+xMacHetEx No bitch you need to stfu with your stupid comment, Nas is better than mega in each an every angle, and will always be, "more lyrical than Nas" lmao
No doubt he was for a bit but iuno they had problems im going to upload part 2 cause i cant seem to find anyone with it on youtube its cormega with foxybrown shits Phat
thats a figure of speech hip hop is competitive and to battle is just part of it goes all the way back to the beginning in rap breaking and grafiti people live and die for hip hop where you from yo
competition yo hip hop is a very competitive sport and when all this happened mega had got kicked off def jam out of the firm and nature was poppin shit and nas aint don shit about it so mega responded and dropped this shit a jewel for us to cherish forever i love hip hop this beef is different than those bull shit beefs of today this way some real shit
the main difference between Nas and Mega is that Mega is much more street than Nas and much less white collar then Nas. I could imagine that Nas probably did a bunch of shit behind Mega's back that he didn't have the balls to deal with Mega to his face....Mega probably brandished a weapon at least once.....Nas probably owes Mega, Mega bucks and is too much a punk to pay up....
Jordan Hamrick if all that you said is true, why does Nas still have his mural in Queensbridge? Why hasn’t it gotten vandalized, or taken down??? they got rid of prodigy’s right? ( Rest In Peace) but not Nas???? There’s a reason why he has one and Cormega doesn’t. And I like both artists so it’s not me being bias or anything. Nas was just in Qb for his album release or listening party so if all u said was true, Nas wouldn’t be allowed back home, yet he was there so take your shit somewhere else. This beef between Nas and Cormega is “done” so shut up
They were in a group together called The Firm with AZ and Foxy Brown. Dr Dre produced the tracks. For whatever reason, Cormega was put out of the group and replaced with Nature.
@ucantknockthehustle na check again son, mega was not only "talking the talk", but "walking the walk" back in the day, much respect to Nas tho illmatic will always have its part in hiphop
To be honest.. I only found this song for the beat. Shit is nasty. Mega did'nt even diss Nas that hard on this one. But I like this joint from back in the day.
Man this was the song that me me hate nas for about 3 weeks. I was just vining with yhe underdog. Plus mega is a beast in own right...Buuut nastradomis was a legend from the moment he was introduced to the world outside of 41st side(i was an nyc ironworker and my union right next to yhe bridge. Walking through there at 5am took some courage
![Cormega - R U My Nigga? [Official Video]](/img/n.gif)
I swear the piano sample is the shook ones sample pitched down
it is
Facts
Of course. Have anyone ever rejected it?
This whole beat is shook ones with plugs on it producer ear you hear it
Bro!!!! Growing up
I always said this song and Shook Ones II are cousins !!
Glad they made up… Two Legendary Artist
"In a jacuzzi, splashing, flashing like an Uzi blasting"... shit goes hard from front to back
Much love for thugs, God bless BIs ashes.
Nas is in everyones top 10 and usually everyone would defend him but you gotta give cormega respect because he's so underground and respects where he's from
And he was lyrically nice enough to get his licks in with Nas
low key classic this was an exciting moment in hip hop. two legends
Mega sold 500k off his 1st 2 albums both Independent...Dude went and bought back the masters for his debut Def Jam album that got shelved...and then he put it out Independent on his label.
Remember Nas... "I know who I paid god Serchlight Publishing" 😉

Bruh, MC Serch already corfirmed that he Nas wasnt under Serchlight Publishing and Jayz lied on Vlad Tv
@@Thaprince9no actually he didn’t lie at the time takeover was recorded nas didn’t own his master or publishing after he got it backed serch tried to make it seem like he had it all that time n it wasn’t the case in fact it was one of the major reasons nas left Columbia & signed with def jam
I love this song had it back in the days on cassette
No one could touch Mega. Nas had commercial success but Mega held it down. Even in Da Bridge it was like he made sure his verse was the nicest on that song.

Mega was born in Brooklyn, too.
Dammnn used to bump this back in the days ❤️🙏🏾 Mega Montana
NAS THE MAN BUT COME ON WE TALKING CORMEGA SUN DO YOUR MATH SHUN.
Word up kid
Not even close to Nas Level
“Mega went hard, this is longevity my god 🙏🏿/“
Real recognizes Real.Nas is nice but everyone knows Cormega is the 'Realness!'.
The 90's QB trio, (Nas, Mega, and Nature) are the best in my opinion, and can't nobody tell me SHIT
Bradford Boucher fuck nas
T.M. Warren Nas is better though
@@bradfordboucher1459 add AZ and that should have been the Firm.
Mega can't fuck with Nas never
The Firm was bullshit without Cormega WTF.
i dont know wtf was up with the firm that shoulda bin a group made a gold without mega but shoulda dropped nature n kept mega
This was my shit
Firm wasn't bullshit but if mega was in it it would of been soooo top notch. If anything I would of traded foxy for him in a heartbeat.
Mega was the heart of the firm lowkey, that’s why it flopped without him pretty horribly
@frag6028 firm flopped because that mafia gimmick and dre hadn't found his new sound yet. Also why that aftermath compilation flopped.
Mega is the realest to hit the mic!
J LOVE Mega April 2020 Pandemic Survivor tracks....
I'm glad they buried the hatchet. Real childhood friends has they're difference! But I love this song.
i wish mega and nas found a way to make the firm work..imagine az nas n cormega.
Your dreams came true, son.
imagine the original firm lineup with nature that would be insane
would of been too dope
I fcK 's with both Nas and Mega Trillz 🐾
Mega is an intelligent rap artist with nuff BIG Hits but i think he gotta live his life and take his mind off NaS.
Mega man really beat Nas. Nas always wanted to be him
He not Nas but Mega Montana can spit flames
you're right he's not nas..nas cant ever fuck with Mega !
天悪魔 Facts 💯
@Bobby Care 🤔 How the **** is Capone a better rapper than Cormega... FOH son.
he better then NAS 100 times !! Streets ride with Mega .. Industries fake roll with Nas
@@arjun88888 lmao dusthead!
Delorean killed this lmao, "If you wanna sign me you could find me where the coke is"
Mike Delorean choked Nas in the studio that’s why he’s on this diss track
mega is the truth i still think nas it was written is better than any album mega did. however i prefer mega as a person so his bars resonate with me more. nas is better with delivery and has had many thought provoking songs. mega has made me cry with certain songs but nas has never touched my soul. some people think nas is better than pac again pac touched my soul. nas has never.
I prefer Nas not because he touched my soul but his delivery been sick while Mega sounds like bit his lower lip or ate taco with too much salt
Cormega's "The Realness" album is by far his best and one of my top 10 in general...but he just doesn't have the pure delivery to ever be considered a great. On the other hand, Nas will touch the soul of anyone who appreciates advanced bars. Tugging at heart strings or writing ballads is not part of his personality.
@@johnchauke7492that's what I said, mega's delivery is WEAK, an tupac sounds like he has cake stuck in his throat
This day was funny,i played this all night in front of Nature once Mike came back from the lab .
Genja Bread and nature didn’t respond and mega knocked him out.classic times
it was jammin when the song drop in that time
These comments are ignorant cuz Nas is a legend, but mega is mad nice for real
Str8 Facts. Cormega was so underrated
Fuck nas
This a dope diss record even tho nas my favorite rapper...MEGA
Another non Bias hip hop fan. Thank God some still exist!!
Nas was scared of Mega...straight
Bullshit
Nas was finishing off Jay z when this was released... Corm knew that it was his best chance to get some street cred while esco was beefing with Jay. If he released this before of after the Jay z beef I garuantee you he would be even more irrelevant than he is now
What's a thug who raps to a rap legend? Ugh yawn! Nas is a legend and Mega was bitter dumb shiiii
He was scared/jealous of P too nas was fake after 99.
heh
This was the best diss between both Mega and Nas.
Mega is a solder. A true OG!
I love how they super impose a much later sample of RZA saying it's a "J-love exclusive" when I had this shit in like '97 or '98 without all these ads over it. Dream Team Best of Cormega cassette baby. ✌
CORMEGA IS THE MAN! ONE LOVE
Im lougin y'all like rookies on housing/ u see my team comin and ur heart start poundin!! 🔥🔥💪💪
Facts! U had to be from the NYC P’s to know what that line means.
Mega gets respect
That is not what happened what happened from the beef was that when cormega was kick from the firm for not signing a 50k payment he was like its all good nas will cover me and anyways i got a song on there "la familia" which im rapping in but when the album came out that song included nature.

Loved both of them I'm glad they talking like grown men 💯💯💯🦾🦾🦾🦾
I swear Cormega is so fucking good. Cant wait for The Realness 2. I only had 1 critique of him when I first heard him. His flow, its kind of «tired». You know.

Everybody in queens was beefin wit eachotha wen dey basically all grew up 2getha dey need 2 stop n jus be cool because if dey do ny will be back on top again
FUCK NY
Mega always sounded better on mix tapes than he did on his own albums...
About 20 years ago Mega came to perform at the cop shop in Smithtown NY. Was mad chill, and hung out back with us smokin before the show. He asked for requests and everyone was yelling “NAS DISS NAS DISS..” He declined out of respect for Nas. Respectable but huge let down lol.
He used the same sample as the shook ones beat
This War music 🎵 Right here 🔥🔥🔥
Mega really from the hood and did 4 years in the pen he got street cred. I like nas a lot but I think cormega is more lyrical in every way
He needed the attention. He needs nas to stay relevant. Fuck cormega. He doesn't touch nas. Never will. Period.
+xMacHetEx No bitch you need to stfu with your stupid comment, Nas is better than mega in each an every angle, and will always be, "more lyrical than Nas" lmao
+xMacHetEx nas > mega
+Cesar Escamilla no. Lil bow wow > mega> soulja boy> nas
soulja boy talk bout money, nas spit knowledge
And Tragedy was jus always jealous of NaS because he just blew even Nore said it
Joeseph Shine facts

That dude that said mega bland must not b a spitter ijs dude got bars n they relect his life if u can't relate then hate but haters never win llab
Destroy & Rebuild buried mega😂😂😂
Love in love out alone smoked everything.
D&R was heat though.
Not really but it was dope. I feel like Mega won lyrically.
It did, but mega was a true G.. nas was always pussy running behind his brother jungle... mega was really out there selling crillz on 41st
🎤🔥
the main difference between Nas and Mega is that Mega is much more street than Nas and much less white collar then Nas. I could imagine that Nas probably did a bunch of shit behind Mega's back that he didn't have the balls to deal with Mega to his face....Mega probably brandished a weapon at least once.....Nas probably owes Mega, Mega bucks and is too much a punk to pay up....
Jordan Hamrick okay first of all everything you just said sounds stupid

Classic 💉🥃
It is a lot like it, it's a little different though. I was just wondering if somebody had a straight instrumental version of this, thanks though =)
I luv this Cormega dude Queensbridge luv u

Cormega vs nas why isnt it cormega and nas vs lilwayne and drake
@Whiran lol been awhile u prob found it but try isohunt if ya didnt

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MCZ,NO DOUGHT
for those who know NAS was checked hard by MEGA...
pedro rodriguez until destroy & build ETHERED 3 niggas with one bullet lol
All these years I'm just realizing. This is shook one's sample
That chair be majestic !
Corey is one of the best emcees hands down i don't give a F what people say this guy wrote some of nas its most famous verses and courses :)
They were in a group together called The Firm with AZ and Foxy Brown. Dr Dre produced the tracks. For whatever reason, Cormega was put out of the group and replaced with Nature.
i think coz he wanted to own hes masters from the get go so the labels went sour on him
J love
Mega Bodied Nas on this track and "Poetry".....
This wasn’t really a Nas diss. This is REALLY a Nature diss with a couple of soft jabs directed at Nas
mega n nas bottom line both are tight as fuck and on the same level. I like mega just a tad more n nas is illmatic.
@jakejakebob does your 2 15 12 and 10's hit hard
Classic
Boggy u a clown he lost so many deals cuz nas and his clowns black balled him
You stupid
You stupid
Love in love out settles everything
Lawrence he nvr lost a deal over nas when he was replaced in the firm by nature he already had a deal with def jam
Check Cormega and Nas beef.
I so agree with you
You see me in a jet black lex the coke white.
mega can spit... just not on Nas level..
J MART better than Nas
Nas is far beyond Mega without a doubt
@ucantknockthehustle na check again son, mega was not only "talking the talk", but "walking the walk" back in the day, much respect to Nas tho illmatic will always have its part in hiphop
Anybody know where I can find the instrumental?
To be honest.. I only found this song for the beat. Shit is nasty. Mega did'nt even diss Nas that hard on this one. But I like this joint from back in the day.
that is the true story how it went down, kids, think they know it all
@yankeeballgame Yeah arent' they beefin again or something?
this is shook ones just a variation theres a everlast cover the beat sounds familiar to this hope that helps
Man this was the song that me me hate nas for about 3 weeks. I was just vining with yhe underdog. Plus mega is a beast in own right...Buuut nastradomis was a legend from the moment he was introduced to the world outside of 41st side(i was an nyc ironworker and my union right next to yhe bridge. Walking through there at 5am took some courage
love that fuckin picture man... suit and the fuckin sneakers
