Can one argue that "It Was Written" was better than "illmatic"

Like clockwork neckbeards turn on illmatic, so predictable :martin:
it didn't take but 2 years for 'dem beards to turn on their jesus Nas. Remember when those beards thought Crooked I had next? :mjlol:

Even though I love the ***** matches I would say Nas and Jay didn't have the charisma and mic skills that 2pac had. Yeah,Yeah I heard 2Pac didn't do moonsaults and huricanas but its because he didn't have to.

Granted he did do a suicide dive at Biggie during Hit Em' Up at PWG in Ponitiac Silverdome. which lead to him using more Performance enhancing drugs because the pain was inbearable and Biggie abusing painkillers. 2Pac sold merch like crazy. Everyone had those Pac exodus 18:31 shirts :mjcry:



Nas and Jay were both vanilla midgets at the end of the day but Jay-z played politics to re-vise history and act like he didn't have but 3 classics at toyko dome/madison square garden. Remember when Meltzer rated Illmatic 5* but dem beards just got tape dubs :mjlol:

Nas had the GOAT gimmicks.

I will always prefer Nasty, but Escobar was dope. :ld:
I think Escobar gimmick was dope but I didn't like what it lead to (him joining Puffys stable or at least acting like he was gonna put that shirt that was thrown to him )

One of the few people Jay ever bothered to put over. Sigel still hasn't recovered from that burial, and I still cringe when I remember Hov jobbing out all of Dispset in that handicap match.
Jay was actually mad because Nas was supposed to put him over and it was going to be a a trilogy of matches. I heard Nas agreed to put Jay-Z over in the second match but renegaded.
Discusting how Jay-Z came out of nowhere just to bury Dipset SMH even though he wasn't even in the tag team division. :francis:

Camberg remained undefeated in all his feuds. :umad:

I still :scust: at Jay Hogan using his politics to give main event spots to his real-life best friend Memphis Bleekcake. :beli:

Jay had a good heel run but it kinda fell off when he didn't have dame in his corner blinding people with Cristal anymore

Memphis Bleek was just Roca-fella vanilla midget. I remember reading Meltzer saying Dame Dash wanted to sign Big L to rocafella but Jay-z was afraid of his work-rate and didn't want anyone better than him in the spotlight that's why hes with memphis bleek. Cam not getting buried his debate-able. he had great mic skills and great gimmick something that Jay was very jealous of.

Discust at Jay-Z where would he be if not for Dame Dash booking. Dame gave him good booking while nas gave him a gimmick to run with. Remember when Jay-Z was in that original flavor stable in CZW :scusthov:

Dame was the hottest manager out back then. :dame: I wasn't really a fan of Jay's heel run, but I enjoyed his shoot when he buried those vanilla midgets Mobb Deep. :russ:
some people say Prodigy still hasn't recovered since getting buried in 01' at the korakuen hall. Dame was in the running for top 3 managers beside Suge and Puffy.

Jay would still be rocking the tropical gimmick if it wasn't for Dame. Would still be Jaz's sidekick in the Hawaiian Rockers tag team; opening matches at high school gym shows. :scust:

I told everybody who would listen in 1994 that Nas should have went over Biggie and won the WWF Championship but apparently, moving merchandise was more important. No disrespect to Biggie though.

Once they turned him heel and he went Escobar, it was over. It was Nas' company. I dare anyone to tell me that he didn't have a top five GOAT WWF Championship reign.

Who didn't Mobb Deep job to back then, I don't think they won a single match in the Outlawz fued. Never drew a dime either, brother

I thought C-N-N and the Lox had a good run (before getting buried by Puffy). Remember when Jadakiss shoot on Puffy by saying he was going to throw a double door joint refridgerator down when he made his entrance at Mania? :russ:

Outlawz had Pac/Suge booking though :wow:

Jay-Z just stole moves from NJPW and early WWF to be 100 percent. Like we all didn't see the GTS in NOAH :russ:
