As a Nas Stan, I have to admit that the God was wrong...Jay did NOT get murdered on his own song

[ItWasWritten]

"Motherfukkers say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing
What I do, through and through and
I give you the news with a twist, it's just his ghetto point-of-view"



"I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollering, gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega,iron under my coat, feeling braver
Durag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me, I'm awkward, I box lefty
An orphan my pops left me,and often, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown,especially on nights
I brought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings"





Since the Goat rapper said it in his ether napalm bomb, it was taken as truth. But honestly Jay held his own and dropped deeper verses in my opinion then the fierce Cac. Em did come correct but i related more to what jay said.

Agree?

The verse was quite good, but his delivery wasn't suitable for that beat at all. There's nothing he could've done about it; the beat just wasn't made for him.

I don't like Jay-Z and never have, but I can admit Jay killed this shyt, his verses hit home. Ems delivery was nice, but he wasn't close to fukking with Jay on this.

I still don't think Nas would've even referenced "Renegade" had not The Source gave Eminem quotable of the month over every Jay verse on that album. It's the same issue they awarded Jay 5 mics and Nas was also on the cover.

there was a theory back @ that Em was so in awe of Jay in the studio with him, that he went extra hard...but Jay was just relaxed and wasnt stressing it too much

of course the problem with that theory was Ems verse was already done a while before

 

[JustCKing]

I give Eminem the edge because he delivered one of the best verses of his career. Jay Z, while it wasn't his best, was still dope.

 

[dunkman6]

You right breh

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

he just took his time and reflected at his own pace

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I agree. Jay destroyed that song

my fav lines "By the bodega, iron under my coat, feeling braver. Doo-rag wrapping my waves up, pockets full of hope"

Stop it...no theory about that but it's fact that Eminem's verse was actually done and Eminem said himself in the interview he sent his tape to Jay-Z, both of them actually not in the booth. Damn, Royce Da 5'9 must be hurt when Eminem took his verses off during their beef.


Both went in but Eminem still got this. I remember when I get haircut at at the barber shop and everybody was at Eminem's part and they was like "Damn, This white boy killing it"

 

[atlbound]

Im just saying..Em was happy to break bread with the gawd, he was showing off like crazy

 

[ItWasWritten]

Em owes a great deal of his success to Nas for this. It put him in a new light.
