Second comment. Quite simply Hov and Nas probably talked and realized that they were stronger together than divided. If you know Rap as purist Jay def respect Nas and Nas respect Jay artistically. Salute to Both
This is a dope interview. I can visualise exactly what Steve Stoute is saying about his approach and contribution to It Was Written, and how that album had to break that way to advance Nas' career. I think what makes that particular album (and Nas himself) special is the fact he was able to marry his pen game with the big beats and stay true and grounded. He's a special dude, these insights are awesome to hear. Steve Stoute seems like a legend. Cheers Unc 🫡
Also Nas in the beginning was standoffish with any1 that wasn't from queens, the firm or the wu...he didn't collaborate with people he didn't already have some kinda relationship with....
Nas always been dope and never saw Jay as his peer or on his level...at least lyrically and creatively. He will never be obliged to respect Jay musically.
@@sdbuysatlantaareahouses4025 it's facts tho...who did Nas collaborate with who wasn't from queens, a label mate, the firm or the wu...from 91 to 97??? I'll wait...
It always seemed to me that Nas never really "respected" Jay until much later in life(after the beef). It always seemed like Nas wasn't really feeling Jay and thought himself to be above him and Jay was biting their style.
That could be true, But I watched a interview on BET from years before the beef and nas said he thought Jayz was intelligent but he bites styles. So that says it all. Nas respected him but had some disrespectful thoughts about him as well. The beef brought it all out. To be fair nas also had issues with Prodigy and Biggie as well. nas did not respect most other rappers except for wu tang and AZ. Old school nas was really a jerk, He seems to be a nicer person now
Why is it that they can't be happy for one another..u don't see that in other genres of music ya made it ur making money work together embrace one another instead of tearing each other down that's what the man wants to see, one love mannnn
What's beef? Beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep Beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets Beef is when I see you Guaranteed to be in ICU, one more time -Biggie
I'm a little disappointed. This was less about Stoute's breakdown of Jay vs Nas and more about Steve's business relationship with Nas. Thanks for the content, though.
I'm so far ahead of my time I'm bout to start another life, look behind u I'm bout to pass u twice, back to the future gotta slow up for the present I'm fast, niggas can't get pass my past. Hov
No!!! True Nas fans will always want a Nas and AZ album. Their chemistry together on records is crazy. Just listen to songs like "Serious" and " The Essence". We need that album.
I always make this comparison when talking about Jay Z and Nas. Floyd Mayweather made more money than Muhammad Ali, but who's the greatest of the two? Muhammad Ali. Jay is like Floyd Mayweather and Nas is like Muhammad Ali.
@@Grgaforniateezy he still ain't making Jay money, and Jay been doing it for a long time. Nas is still beloved and seen as the greatest. So his comment is perfect
@Slibby1981 man gtfoh... jay z richer than beyonce. He was worth 200 million in 2002 (check forbes) beyonce was worth 2 million and she wasnt even solo at that time.. jayz worth 2.5 billion by himself where his money comes from is also listed on forbes if u can read go check it out. The jay z hate is weird,old and its time to move on..he's more revered and successful than your favorite rapper..its tough but u gotta move on
Don’t be fooled… the fact that Jay and Nas beef didn’t get violent was because both sides didn’t run in to each other. But Nas was in a dark place… remember, Jay Z took a shot at Nas while Nas’s mom was battling cancer and after Nas’s mom died… Jay let it be known that he smashed his baby mom and through condom rappers on the baby seat. If y’all recall correctly, even Jay Z’s mom had to call him and told him “you went to far and need to apologies.” The reference track was the super ugly track… that had nothing to do with being lyrical, that is the definition of hate… So thank god that the beef concluded peacefully but the approach was definitely “its on site when we see each other”
My top 5 jayz songs that made me respect his mic .. Hovi baby Can't knock the hustle Best of both worlds ft r.kelly What more can I say Hot 97 version of "most kingz" freestyle. (Honorable feat ..light up by drake, can I get A...ft ja and amil, is that yo bxxxx ft Memphis bleek and missy...Mr. Carter ft Lil Wayne...renegade ft eminem). I am a Nasir OLU Dara 🎖️👑 FAN..that man's grace, 90s clean cut decorum..his lyrical essence ..his wisdom etc. but I can also give credit where it's due. Jayz it's top 5 D.O.A .
I'm still confused as to what this guy even does.. He says he "worked with Nas." Okay. What exactly did he "work" on?? Other than putting his name on the back of the cover art?
@@kingsupreme25 Ahhhh ok gotcha. Yeah I've seen him everywhere over the years. Just never knew what he did, always thought he was a producer then I found out he doesn't make beats lol 🤷🏾♂️
He did like eminem n Jay did. All 3 have so much money they don't have 2 or want 2 . Some people are more private , even like an AZ who is still fire but not as much money as the other 3 guys I named, and they gwt forced 2 do interviews. You have 2 early on in your career but after you really make it those 3 cancer less.
Now we need that Nas interview asap!!!

@@supervvs4376Fr. It was only a rap battle, not a real beef. Can’t compare it to something like 50 & Ja.
Nas is intelligent, well-read and thoughtful. He moves to his own beat. Outside of Pac, he’s my favorite rapper.
I agree with everything you said. My first 1 and two favorite

Agreed
Every rapper that great is intelligent. You can't be a billionaire like Hov and not be smart😂

Scarface, Jay, Nas, Cube, Wayne. No particular order.

Track Masters is one of my fav production groups. I loved the work they did with Tamia.
They’re so underrated it’s ridiculous
Definitely don't get mentioned enough
You are taking this to new levels Shannon!!! Congratulations!
I said the same thing. “Who is helping Shannon with these questions?” Lol.
I love the conversations Shannon has on Club Shay Shay. So much information imparted!
UNC is killin them! Making all these podcasts sick!🤢🤮
Great shot... Night time City lights❤
Nas didn't respect Jay in the beginning. That's why he didn't show up to the studio to be on Reasonable Doubt or answer his calls.

Nice outfit too!
“Who helping you with these questions.” You know you doing a good job when they say that.

Trackmasters, ya heard?
The HitMen and Trackmasters was a great team. Great music came from all of them
Queens new york was like the way chicago is now. Jay z was involved in his self in queen's business
Nas wont be appreciated the way he should be until hes gone and his story is told through cinema
The day they'll do a movie about Jay Z it will be over

“Nas is very special person that people love and adore “ by Steve Stoute
Steve Stoute gave an incredible interview. He didn’t have to be prodded to give answers or details.
Left out R Kelly Track Masters😂
He switched his style cause he wanted his family out the hood...
When did Shannon start recording his dates and uploading them to his channel???
That LV peacoat is 🔥
Nas is a very special person that people love and adore😊
Because people feel sorry for him after what Jay did to that man’s family
No one got hurt, no guns...cept Nas wrote a whole song called "Got yourself a Gun" and lots of threats of violence over the diss tracks by both
There was no respect in that beef lol
Shannon DEF running around with the Gs of Hollywood. Now he’s taking interviews in their Suburbans?😂
Nas been about his business since The Firm. Him, Foxy, Nature, & AZ the reason I wanted to wear business suits and be corporate as a child 😂
Is it safe to say we need a Nas and Jay-Z album?
Only jay fans want that lol
Make it a double album like they did speakerboxxx
No!!! True Nas fans will always want a Nas and AZ album. Their chemistry together on records is crazy. Just listen to songs like "Serious" and " The Essence". We need that album.
@joshwilliams2400 nah how about ur boy jay just make a solo album
They can keep that 😂. Nobody cares about a Nas And Jay z album. Jay ain't on Nas level lyrically

Nah we don't
Man when Nas dropped Ether Jay Z had no answer.
E money bags is the reason
It was over Nas baby mama. End of story.
For Nas (next or final) album he gotta go to Shan
What are they riding in?
No guns, nobody got shot, but Nas’s then woman was letting Jay skeet in her. It didn’t get violent, but it was hella personal!
To this day. they talk around targeting the white audience while watering down the music. "We had to expand the sound and audience!" Hilarious.
Nas respected Pac and Wu + aint trust them Brooklyn cats
He trusted AZ
The Nas and Jay beef started because of E Money Bags. E and Nas were friends and E didn’t like Jay
Nas is a GOD.

This is NOT a complete history of Nas and Jay Z beef.
Easy that Jay plays Madden 😂
He bootlegged everybody album back then
Why nas never do interviews...

Go to 2001 nas interviews or 2002 after him n Jay were going back n fourth he had some interviews.
“Hop in my coupe dodge interviews like that” he’s an introvert he doesn’t like doing interviews
E Money Bags?
