I'll keep my real facts,like nas sneaking out the back of SS LAB , we wasn't chasing you ,we had recorded a tape or two,we came to do our 1,2 thing ,its wasn't a rocofella come through thing ,cause if it's was on like that WE JUST COME THROUGH QUEENS with Queens niggas.. Jayz is reminding me big ways
@@willsmooth1355 so Nas didn't fall off so u tell that Nastradamus nas put out was great stop it. I am had like 3 to 4 songs that were great which is Ny State of Mind Part 2 Nas Is Like Hate Me Now so Jay-Z was spitting a fact. Nas won the battle Jay-Z won the war because who was talking about Nas at that time if it wasn't for Jay-Z Nas wouldn't made that Ether. His rhyme on Occhie Wally wasn't as great Jay-Z was spitting facts in Takeover super ugly was more about Carmen
CAN I SMELL YOUR BUTT? All his new music is sloopy. All over the place. Mix and match verses over a nice beat. He doesnt even make any sense anymore. But I do like his music from 1996 to about 2004. In terms of skill Nas is the better rapper, better word play.
Jay Z really saved Nas' career by dissing him...if he hadn't Nas would've probably ended like other lyrical artists like Krs One, Rakim, and others...he would've just fell out of the scene...if Jay Z would've dissed any lyrical artist it would've probably saved their career
If u see in the videos nas quote unquote wack albums went platinum so how did he save his career? The battle just made point nas where he needed to be popularity wise. Jay had the radio(the public) on lock & that’s y he was able to manipulate the people by saying nas fell off
I personally think Nas is a better MC that Jay, Illmatic is better than anything Jay Z has in his catalog and at that point in time Nas won the battle BUT in the end Jay Z won the war. Nas started cranking out some garbage albums like Nastradamus while Jay transformed himself, putting out the earcandy like Blueprint III while at the same time creating lyrical juggernauts like the Black Album. I always thought Nasir never tried hard enough, he always kept it real but I think Life is Good was the best he could do right now- tank is empty for Esco.....same thing goes for Hov. Time for these guys to step aside and see what the next generation can do for hip hop.
I didn't know Jay and Nas were beefing until I went to school and heard kids talking about other. Then I watched this to find out what was going on and how it all started. Great times. When I look at it I think we all won Jay and Nas made history that's still being talked about till this day and will be talked about forever.
Nas's first album is a classic, top 5 in hip hop. Jay was good and production was sick on his Trax. But that's like comparing movies like Independence Day with high paid special effects to Quentin Tarantino's dialogue in Jackie Brown. one is $$ bought lights , other is real skill.
The whole 'west vs East' thing ruined it... It was that Pac had a problem with Big nothing to do with where they were from, then obv the media overtook the whole thing
Sifiso Mthethwa Of course i have, Jay is alright, but if you don't think that Illmatic is not one of the best rap albums of all times if not the best, my man, u don't know a thing or are too young....
nah illmatic is definitely one of the greatest albums of all time, but what I meant was that Reasonable Doubt is as much a classic as Illmatic....I personally prefer Reasonable Doubt, I even prefer It Was Written over Illmatic....But Illmatic definitely defined the 90s sound of Hip Hop
This is so biased for Jay-Z, also the "facts" part is also a joke. I can name more facts on ether than takeover right now, Jay himself said he lost..please let it go fans.
These cats are lyrical giants! Takeover was genius and the way JZ, describes it sounds about right! Ether was interesting in its own right! All in all I wish these two would have met in the ring, and let the lyrics fly! Peace!
I don't listen to Hip hop nomore,hip hop was better before 1993-2007 was hip hop I think chief keef or 50cent change hip hop It's trash now Not 1 rapper now is not better then Jay-Z or nas FACT
back when sway had the anwsers
Lmao
Yaro, MC like Ether, this comment is classic
lool crazy comment
Lmfaooo
😂😂😂😂
Love how they said It Was Written was okay, It's one of the most lyrical albums ever.
***** Agreed.
Lyrical and instrumental wise that album is classic
Guhsteh Was so confused when they said IWW was meh
Ace Goku Haven't seen you in a while, what's up. And yeah, I don't know why anyone would call that masterpiece mediocre...
Guhsteh Lol hey man. I honestly was dumbfounded when they said that. IWW is easily in my top 10 favourite albums
That Drake vs Meek beef aint shit compared to this😂
No doubt about it
YES!!
yeah that drake and meek mills beef shit is garbage. both sucks and meek mills corny ass hell.
+Bryan Bustamante DUDE FUCKIN MCDONALDS BEEF IS MORE REAL THAN WHAT THEY HAD!!
Drake did most of the diss tracks and meek mill came out weak!
Both are great songs but Nas murdered Jay with Ether
Overrated

"It's not happening.. there is no 'takeover'" GOAT
Nasty Nas 🐐
Dont forget this was 2001.. Jay z was at that time the best rapper alive, but then came stillmatic and nas showed the world whos the goat
Tupac better than nas
+King George you're crazy
+Dwn Designs but i like nas and i agree he is the king of ny :)
+Dre Tupac is way better then both Nas and Jay
s.01 baker in which aspects? give examples to support your claim.
nas is the only succesfull inspiring rapper who did not sell his soul
True!!!
Eminem is too
Marco Esparza well eminem did sell his soul and he's very depressive about it
and DMX
***** he did sell his soul but he is very deppressive now because he did
Nas vs Jay-Z back in the old days was a nice beef better then shit today
Ether is my alltime favourite diss track
TUPAC-HIT EM UP RULES
Ether, No Vaseline, King of the Hill, Hit em Up are my favorites.
Dwayne Pipe "against all oddz" pls.
Biggie kick in the door rules
@@hafizulhaq7383 no bomb first
I miss this MTV when the M stood for MUSIC

Yeah of course he won the beef
No he did not. Takeover was just as good as Ether. People got hypnotized by that ether beat.

you ask how? have you heard Ether? Rewind? Halftime? Dance? I could list more but I'm pretty sure nothing will convince you that he's better
ARGaming900 ether is garbage why would you even mention it
this was hip hop version of Stone cold vs the Rock
Your are absolutely right smiling frfr
Love how they kept it classy on the interviews..
Being in Brooklyn at the time of this beef was such a pleasure. Pure hip hop was in the air
Would love to see Jay-Z vs. Nas Verzuz
IT WAS WRITTEN SOLD WAY MORE THAN ILLMATIC AND WAS NAS SECOND STRAIGHT CLASSIC #FACTS
Patrick Adzimah Illmatic was heavily bootlegged
Illmatic qas heavily bootlegged so that doesn't take anything away from his second consecutive classic album
@@yunggpacino Now illmatic is double plat in the US.
nas has always had awesome albums every single one his illmatic is amazing
The better days of hip-hop.
Big Time

I had to revisit this after the recent Drake and Kendrick beef. Man this beef done escalated 😬

Nas is a real.rapper
Jay Z Is Not Helping Anyone Like Fromer Friend Kanye.
MTV and HipHop was so much better back then. i took that golden era for granted.
Man what a time to be alive that was! It was like Ken beefing with Ryu.
I'm from the South. I kept up with this 10 years old!!...
Lol. Nas stated way more facts on Ether. So if this battle is won by facts Nas won.
exactly
Frankie71809 Jay only gave a verse Nas gave a song so....Super Ugly>Ether
Facts. The only fact on takeover was the CARMEN line. Ether had a bunch of facts.
@@willsmooth1355 so Nas didn't fall off so u tell that Nastradamus nas put out was great stop it.

And didn't Nas say he was better than biggie in ether he said who is the best 2pac Nas and Big sorry they was noway u was better than biggie sorry
Back in the days when MTV was legit and had any meaning in it.
Stillmatic was dope af
If it wasn't for Jay-Z it would not be no Stillmanic album
Jay-z helped nas he wanted nas to make better songs
Nas won, not even close
Back in the day, before rap went pop, truer words were never spoken.

This beef and 2pac and biggie beef was the greatest beefs of all time i think.
ice cube vs nwa
No it's Drake vs Meek Mi- sorry I can't even fucking say that sentence without laughing.
They were in they 30s during this and still look good today on god Nas killed jay z and his lips
Who looks @ another mans lips & think about fellatio? Very suspect, that was a huge PAUSE.
Never felt j. Nas been dope
great times in late 01 early 02. it was the very end of the golden era of hip hop which began in about 91
more like 87-89
+IMxYOURxDADDY There was still some good albums after that like The Documentary
back when hip hop was real
Nas is a poet. Jayz just sloopy.
CAN I SMELL YOUR BUTT? It was a classic.But illmatic came first. Listen to jay z before resonable doubt. Nas disigned Jay z's blueprint.

True NAS is on another level!!!
Jay Z threw jabs on the TAKEOVER, Nas knocked him out on ETHER.
if only pac and big could've got to this point.
They made it way too real way too fast. If they would've kept it pure music it would've been legendary.
+Unholy Jane 420 true
The whole 'west vs East' thing ruined it... It was that Pac had a problem with Big nothing to do with where they were from, then obv the media overtook the whole thing
Strange things can happen.
Who knows. I can see Eazy and Dre hug and see an NWA reunion.
Derrick Redd They did. But was killed right after the hit their peak!!
both came hard at eachother there diss tracks are one of the greatest diss tracks
Nas Murked Jay Z. Man hip hop was fun back then. Illmatic did it!
They had their beef and they eventually squashed it and became known as the kings of NY
Big L!
The TAKEOVER, SUPER UGLY & The BLUEPRINT 2. "I set the trap just to see dude react". 😅
Did they have a truce for a little while after Sept 11th?
Sway knew this interview would live on 4ever ..this was his happiest moments lol
SWAY A.k.a MUSTARD
Nas killed Jay z with ether. After that track Jay seemed to focus more on the pop rap over hip hop
Maybe after Nas is shot we would recognize that he is truly the king of kings of hip hop better than biggie and pac!
Let's hope he doesn't get shot
Nah he ain’t better than biggie
Say a Big verse I'm only bigging up my brother. 🫡
Nas top 4 of all time.
Jay maybe top 7
Lol... name the 3 ahead of him. Lol
No snoop is nas is number 2 and jay z number 3
