Hahaha 😂 oh hell naw, don't kid urself. Nas BODIED Jay with that verse an it ain't even close. Don't get it twisted tho I'ma fan of Jigga too, he was nice like always but no comparison on this one.
I know jay Z will always seem shallow next to someone like Nas so lyrically I get it, jay delivery and flow is out this world, sounds easy till you try it, on beat off beat, overlaps, inside patterns and flawless timing, look how he went though the gear box from the intro to the last 2 lines, everybody sounding like it was 1996 accept for jay z.

@@40EastTrill This was originally on Shaq's album "You Can't Stop the Reign" (No Love) without Nas verse and produced by trackmaster. But I wasn't there, but the sources say so.
@@Chaoxianghuang It's not. They rapped on the same track but it only appeared on a Clue tape in this version. Nas's verse was never cleared for the official release.
Probes that they both wrote so many fire verses and songs in their lifetime and can still flow in 2021 and it's easy. Get in say what you mean and leave. Thing is they still got more material on the way. The mind of rappers that been in the game for 30 years and still tickin. They forgot more fire rhymes than many can even conjure up, collectively
@@lenhalz8086 nah, it’s not that. Khaled gave them a wack beat smh don’t matter how nice you are at rapping, if the beat don’t move you, you can’t write fire to it

Was this track official..brings so many memories lost a friend he ended up killin himself but we had a old cassette we used to play in the UK shit was gold 🙏
I'm Impressed that two Bosses were able to put that B.S. aside and got that bread 🍞 .............it's very encouraging, anything is possible. It was Definitely good for Hip Hop. The Whole World 🌎 actually see the results.........actual facts.
Jays layed back flow was unmatched.. his delivery was so 🔥 He been on that boss talk.. Nas is clearly a worker. Soundd to me like Nas was trying to hard on this one..
Nas said in ether saying Eminem murdered u on ya own track cause he did the same in this and on Black Republican too. With lines like, "by the laws of life u keep u don't deserve to eath". I cant relate, but if I was an Outlaw like Jay z with nothing to do with the law, I'd use the laws I keep , on payroll, to frame, surveillance, follow and poison, my enemies from restaurant to supermarket and at home so they can't eat either
'96 Nas flow was unfuckwithable.
Nas left earth on this shit!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lord Tariq had bars
Nasir all day!!
Nas is the greatest
I don’t understand why they weren’t able to clear Nas’ verse on the album version on Shaq’s album.
Because he murdered everyone 😂
Jay-z probably cancelled it out because he felt ashamed that Nas annihilated the track.
Nas spazzed out!
#GOAT
The fire 🔥 had to be put out after Nas verse nobody was rapping like son in 96 besides prodigy and az
And neither were they they weren’t making records like I gave you power

Some of Nas' verses should be studied by Harvard, and/or inducted in the Library of Congress along with Illmatic!
