Today marks the monumental, eight year anniversary when Nas and Jay-Z set aside their differences and dapped each other up at the Continental Airlines Arena “I Declare War” concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Jay, who headlined the Power 105 show, embraced the God MC and the two proudly stood tall as Kings should. To think, it was only four years prior to this significant event that the two emcees were going at each other’s throats gripping lyrical linoleum knives, stamping the event as one of the greatest battles in Hip-Hop history, amongst legendary dust-ups like BDP vs. Juice Crew. Today the two mount thrones comfortably in their 40’s, experimenting with different measurements and pushing the boundaries of Hip Hop music to unreachable plateaus.
