    Blueprint 2 was easily the best diss in that exchange

    “Cause the n----- wear a kufi, it don't mean that he bright
    Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice
    It just means you don't understand all the bs that he write
    Is it Oochie Wally Wally or is it One Mic?
    Is it Black Girl Lost or shorty owe you for ice?”

    A more thorough deconstruction of Nas than anything said on Ether

    Ether is 20 years old so I'm not surprised it's lost some impact. I think people take for granted how iconic and scathing it was. The name itself became synonymous with being killed.

    "Now I smile like a proud dad watching his only son that made it"

    This is such a weak shot though. Calling out a recording artist for recording different songs from different perspectives?

    As played out as all the fa---- bars are now, I think it worked really well at the time. It wasn't about saying he was 'gay' as much as it was a constantly building list of people he was 'd-ck-riding' in order to achieve.

    They were cool when he signed him though. Still an L, but they had squashed the beef

    Not sure why its an L. Both of them matured and are now working together.

    40 or 50 year olds writing tweets about eachoter are the biggest losers ever

    From one angle, Jay totally wins for signing Nas. He's in a position of power there and has done great business. On the other, signing a once enemy is a pretty big compliment to that artist. Honestly my favourite thing about the Jay/Nas beef was that it has ended on good terms. It pushed both of them to do better and they ended up making a bunch of cool songs together in the years since.

    He is, but he takes his beefs to IG lol wtf he’s supposed to be a gangster from South Jamaica Queens. In his early rap career he went against Supreme, Jimmy Henchman, World, and others, now he takes it IG.
