Em murked this joint too, but "killed you on your own shyt" is an insane exaggeration. Jay went just as hard (harder in my opinion)Em owes a great deal of his success to Nas for this. It put him in a new light.

Yeah, they were both spitting and that was hard for me to admit for awhile because I was a Nas stan that hated Jay (but that has more to do with my older cousin's Biggie infatuation). Years later I give Em the flow, but Jay the bars. These lines are also what I mean when I say that MCHG could've been great if Jay showed up. He gave us the traditional hip hop album that Timbo promised from a production standpoint and then forgot to bring his bars.Em murked this joint too, but "killed you on your own shyt" is an insane exaggeration.

yup. mchg was terribly forgettable. i'm glad nasir never brought some weak ass bars like that to an albumYeah, they were both spitting and that was hard for me to admit for awhile because I was a Nas stan that hated Jay (but that has more to do with my older cousin's Biggie infatuation).

He's had his flops too. They all do. The difference is when Nas or Jay put out something wack I either turn it off or get bored. When Em puts out some wack shyt it legitimately makes me mad likeyup. mchg was terribly forgettable. i'm glad nasir never brought some weak ass bars like that to an album
"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?
Em killing Jay on his own shyt=1 hot album ever 10 year average; both not true.
