Original sample used in the Ski Beatz-produced, Nasir-targeted subliminal that went undetected on most heads’ radars. Although it was recorded after he took his ‘L’, you have to give the man some credit for not constructing another contrived shot a la Super Ugly.

Jay tried to sneak attack
Assasinate my character, degrade my hood
Cause in order for him to be the Don, Nas had to go
The Gam-B-I-N-O rules I understood
What you want, see, I already had
The Gift and The Curse? Fuck that shit, the first shall be last
I’m the man’s man, a rapper’s rapper
G-O-D S-O-N, they’ll be none after
I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo
It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo- Nas
with that said this sample is dope.

but neway on to the next one.

Who needs a whole song when Hov summed up Nas’ entire career (to that point) in a handful of lines:
You said you been in this ten
I’ve been in it five – smarten up Nas
Four albums in ten years nigga? I can divide
That’s one every let’s say two, two of them shits was due
One was – NAHHH, the other was “Illmatic”
That’s a one hot album every ten year average

Man I miss jay-z befoe he turned devil worshiping freemason just sad what the fuck did he trade his lyrical skills for a spot in hell and sum cash SMH a damn shame
Rob said this on April 21st, 2010 at 4:42 pm
^^Damn@^^^
that line wud be great if it was true..
Nas made illmatic..then it was written straight after, and 2years later the lost tapes plus jay litterally had put out more albums by nas at that point but wat evs we off that

this song was classic. Jay bodied it…he was channeling Atheletes in his raps…peep the perspective.
“We can get deeper in the dirt than cleat shoes
I refuse to lose
I peep you creeps three months in advance”
“The harder you go at me the harder I flow
Lets do this
I’m just a mirror reflectin your image
The minute you switch up your face I pick up the pace
There’s nothin to it”
“We can clap at this amateur pace
If that’s what’s crackin
Or we can play this on All Madden”
“Dont you know… when youre defeated?
Wont you throw? Throw in the towel
I’m better with vowels”
“I didnt know before now my role’s defined”
“Dammit, man this is the gift from God
This aint have to stand
‘Til your arms are too short to box
Plus we knuckle up unorthodox”
Not really so much of a Nas diss as the Original “Dont u Know” But still fire. I’ll take Takeover, SupaUgly and Blueprint 2 over
Ether, Stillmatic (freestyle), and Last Real Nigga Alive.

Yeah but, Ether was the only decent diss song Nas put out. That H to the Omo, straight trash. And every other diss he released, he kowns it was garabage too. Nas just made jokes about how Jay looked(gay?) Jay shitted on Nas’ career at that point. But they’re cool now and that was a long time ago. They’re both consistently in my Top 5.(Cause everyone knows a Hip-Hop head’s top 5 changes every 2 months lol)
