    THATS TUPAC SAYING FUCK JAYZ SCREWED UP

    This will forever be a top 5 diss track, it’s even better If you knew their history and what Nas was talking about so ima tell you how they started beefing and a bit of what Nas mean. I’m a break it down year by year
    Mid-late 80’s: Many don’t know this but Jay started rapping before Nas (he’s 4 years older), in the mid to late 80’s he was with a Brooklyn MC called Jaz-O (that’s why Nas said you’re on Jaz dick), at that time Jay was rapping fast. Nas (and Tupac) joked about his video appearance in Jaz-O - Hawaiian Sophie music video.
    Early 90’s: Nas started rapping in 1991, after just one verse the hip-hop scene said he’s the second coming of Rakim. Jay didn’t managed to get signed so he went to the streets and made decent money, Nas got signed for 600K
    94: Nas dropped his debut Illmatic which is seen as the best rap album til this day. Jay had Illmatic before it was released, he was a big Nas fan.
    95: Jay came back to the music industry and started Roc-a-fella records. He made a track called ‘Dead Presidents’ he sampled Nas. He was such a Nas fan that he even sampled the remix version of ‘The world is yours’. Jay asked Nas if he could use the sample & if Nas could be in the video (Biggie & AZ was in the video), Nas said if you want to sample me then pay for it & I don’t want to be in the video.
    96: Nas & AZ was supposed to be on Jay first album ‘Reasonable doubt’ on a track called ‘Bring it on’ but they never showed up to the studio which made Jay mad and he had to quickly replace them with Jaz-O and Sauce Money. A week after he released his debut album Nas release his second album ‘It was written’, it was the biggest album in the world at that time. Nas took shots at Jay on a track called ‘The Message’. From then on Jay & Nas took shots at each other from 1996-2001
    97: When Nas said “who’s the best Pac, Nas & Big” it was a response after Jay said in his track ‘Where I’m from’ “I’m from where ni**as pull your card and argue all day about who’s the best MC Biggie Jay-Z or Nas”. Nas basically meant Jay you weren’t up there in 1997 and you’re still not up there in 2001. Biggie died in 97, he and Nas fought for the crown for king of NY. Nas and Biggie was friends but they also took shots and dissed each other. Nas didn’t only have beef with Jay, he had beef with Biggie, Tupac, 50 Cent, Prodigy from Mobb Deep, whole Roc-a-fella, whole Def Jam, Hot 97, Jeezy and many more
    Also in 97, Jay had a song called “The city is mine”, basically saying he’s king of NY after Biggie died. That’s why Nas said Biggie your man then you got the nerve to say you’re better than him, also saying he took Biggie rhyme, this is a proven fact, Jay did use Biggie rhyme & also used his unused beats
    Also around this time Jay slept with Nas baby mom (the world found out about this in 2001). Nas & his baby mom cheated on each other (there was rumours Nas was having a secret relationship with Mary J. Blige), one day she and Nas had a big argument so she slept with Jay (she knew him, according to her they was friends before that). She wrote a book about all of this, in it she says Jay was obsessed with Nas, that he had super rare Nas stuff in his appartment and that he used to ask her weird stuff about Nas. Ether became a verb, but also Nas coined the term Stan. Nowadays it means being a big fan of someone but Nas used the word as a verb for the first time on Ether. Eminem has a track called ‘Stan’, short for Stanley he was a obsessed fan of Eminem who ended up milking himself because Em didn’t respond to his letters. Nas saying Jay is a Stan is him saying Jay was completely obsessed with him
    98: Jay drops Hard knock life and he becomes a big artist
    99: Memphis Bleek (Jay’s artist) got involved in the beef. Nas took shots at him in his track ‘Nastradamus’, in the same album he had a song called ‘Come get me’, taking shots at Jay, Jay responded on his track ‘Come and get me’, Bleek dissed Nas
    Jay is continuing to get bigger. Nas was planning to drop a double album but some tracks got leaked so instead he dropped 2 albums in 99, I Am & Nastradamus. I Am sold well but people was disappointed with the album (it’s a good Album) and Nastradamus is to this day seen as Nas worst album
    Jay had a track called “Is that yo bitch”, taking shots at Nas & his baby mom. Jay said I fucked her while you wifed her. This is why Nas said you only dissing woman.
    Nas had a track called “You owe me”, The song is about Nas asking a woman for a sexual favor in return for him letting her wear his jewelry. In the music video Beyoncé was in it, and she was wearing Nas chains. When she got together with Jay the full video got deleted and nowhere to be seen til this day. In Nas baby momma book she said Beyoncé had a huge crush on Nas but Nas wouldn’t date her because Beyoncé has bad breath
    2000: Nas responds to Bleek, he slapped him so hard Jay felt he had to intervene
    Nas & Mobb Deep was very close these times, Prodigy told Nas Jay was biting their style and they should go after him, Nas didn’t look at Jay as a big threat and stuck to taking shots and subliminals. Mobb Deep went at Jay
    2001 (shit goes down): In 2001 their beef became official. Jay headlines Summer Jam 2001, he brought Michael Jackson with him. He plays his songs then decides to perform a unreleased track (Takeover). He dissed Prodigy as well as having a picture of a young Prodigy with ballerina clothes on stage. Then on the end he said “You guys don’t want it with Hov, asked Nas he don’t want it with Hov” (Hov is Jay nickname), the crowd went crazy. Nas responds with a freestyle where he disses Jay and Memphis Bleek & Beanie Sigel (Jay’s artist)
    Then Jay released his album ‘The Blueprint’ on 9/11 (unlucky for Jay), a hip-hop classic. On there is the full version of Takeover (the first official diss track towards Nas). He said Nas fell off and was garbage now, and said other stuff. Fun fact: Kanye West produced that track. Everyone at that time said Jay finished Nas, that Jay was the best rapper and that Nas fell off, that Jay was the king of NY
    Jay also had a track with Eminem called ‘Renegade’, Nas felt Em washed Jay on it, that’s why he said Eminem murdered you on your own shit
    And also the chorus on Ether when he said “ I will not lose”, he was mocking Jay. On Blueprint Jay had a called ‘U Don’t know’ on that track Jay repeatedly said “I will not lose”
    Months passed and Nas didn’t respond. And then on December 4 (On Jay-Z birthday lol) he released Ether. DJ Kay Slay (RIP) was the first to play it and it took off, every radio station played it even if they didn’t want to (Hot 97). No one expected Nas to come back this hard
    Another fun fact: It’s Tupac who said “Fuck Jay-Z” at the start, they slowed his voice down
    On the same day as Ether got released Nas also released a track called ‘Got yourself a Gun’, he sampled The Sopranos theme song. On the first verse he said “my first album had no famous guest appearances, the outcome I’m crowned the best lyricist”. That was a shot at Jay
    On his first album Nas only had 1 feature and it was AZ who was unknown at the time. On Jay first album he had big names like Biggie, Foxy Brown & Mary J. Blige. Mary even admitted she didn’t even know who he was she just did it for the money, but on her album she asked Nas to be on it
    Jay got triggered and responded on a track called ‘Supa ugly’. He used Nas - Got yourself a Gun beat. That’s when he said he slept with Nas baby mom
    Hot 97 did a poll, Ether vs Supa ugly, Ether comfortably won. As they was gonna announce Nas as the winner Jay stepped in the building and live on air apologised to Nas, Jay mom heard the Supa ugly track and she was so disappointed in Jay for dissing Nas baby mom and his at the time 7 year old daughter that she made Jay apologised. Jay who’s usually so confident & cocky looked so defeated. Everyone around Jay has said Jay knew he lost. Jay was so desperate for a rematch he wanted to arrange a PPV boxing fight between him & Nas
    On December 18 Nas dropped the classic album ‘Stillmatic’, the title meaning he still got it. To many surprise Nas dissed Prodigy on that album as well as Nature & Cormega, 2 rappers from his hood. Jay released his MTV unplugged album the same day
    2002: Nas was supposed to headline Summed Jam 2002 but he never showed up. He went to Power 105.1 (he made them famous) and talked crazy, it’s a classic moment. He was mad at Hot 97 for not letting him do what he wanted. 10 years later we found out Nas had build a life-sized Jay-Z figure that he was supposed to lynch on stage, Nas was crazy!
    November 8: Eminem movie 8 Mile is released, on the soundtrack both Nas & Jay is on it. Jay had a normal track while Nas had a track called “U wanna be me”, taking shots at Jay saying he wants to be him
    November 12: Jay drops his album ‘Blueprint 2’ on that album he has a track with the same name where he again goes after Nas. Imo it’s his best diss track, it’s very underrated
    December 13: Nas dropped his album “Gods son”, his most personal album, his Mom had past. On that album he has a track called “Last real ni**a alive”, another Jay diss track. But this time he tells how the beef started
    2003: Jay announces he will drop his last album ‘The black album’ then retire. He became the president of Def Jam. Nas still raps and take shots at Jay

      2005:
      August: Kanye drops his second album ‘Late registration’, both Jay & Nas is on it. Nas track called ‘We Major’ was Jay favourite track of the album, he told Ye that. It was so good you couldn’t deny it
      October: Jay announces a concert called ‘I declare War’ it was meant to be a show where he went against rappers but instead to many’s surprise Nas was there and they squashed their beef
      2006:
      January: Nas signs to Def Jam, where Jay was president. Many saw it as Nas winning the battle but losing the war
      November: Jay-Z comeback, released his album ‘Kingdom come’, not a good album
      December: Nas released his album ‘Hip Hop is dead’, very controversial album. On it is the first Nas - Jay collab called ‘Black Republican
      2007: Jay released his album ‘American Gangster’ after Denzel Washington movie American gangster. Nas was on it on a track called ‘Success’. On that song surprisingly Nas disses Jay, he said “worst enemies wanna be best friends, best friends wants to be enemies like that’s what’s in, but I don’t give a fuck walk inside the lion’s den”
      2008: Nas & Jay was on Ludacris track ‘I do it for hip-hop’
      2009: Jay wanted Nas to be on Empire State of mind with Alicia Keys. Nas said he already had a song about NY (NY state of mind) so he declined the request
      2013: Nas was on a Jay-Z track with Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland called ‘BBC’ from Jay album ‘Magna Carter holy grail’
      2018: Nas did a album with Kanye, it was supposed to come out before Jay & Beyoncé album but because of technical difficulties Jay & Bey album came out before, Beyoncé liked a tweet on Twitter memeing Nas. 50 Cent in a podcast claimed Jay was still salty for Ether and that Jay always drops same time as Nas to take away his shine (a lot of people thinks so)
      2021:
      April: Nas & Jay was on DJ Khaled album on a track called ‘Sorry Not sorry’ with Beyoncé on the background vocals. They also shot a music video for it
      May: Nas & Jay was on DMX posthumous album ‘Exodus’ on a track called ‘Bath Salts’, it got nominated for the Grammy. It was a old song that they put on the album
      Since they squashed their beef Nas & Jay has become close friends, doing music together, performing together, made business together, goes to each other birthday parties, goes to other parties etc
