Did Jay Z body Nas on BBC (Magna Carter)??

[h2o_proof]

Both verses were subpar but something stood out to me when listening to the lyrics.

I may be reaching but to me it sounds like Jay wrote Nas' verse and Nas wrote Jay's verse.

 

[Ukbrotha]

It's an ok track. It's not bad it's not good. It's just ok.

 

[up in here]

lol.

Add another excuse.

So what we got...Nas came weak because

Beat was wack
His verse was short (even though it was 16 bars)
He did it on purpose as a favor to Luda
He was going off the dome
Nas wanted to put all his energy into the hook

The Luda shyt was a joke son

 

[Pop123]

easy, he bodied my guy. but, in nas's defense, i don't think he was really trying on there, that song is Hov's lane, sounded like nas was tryin to flow like Hov. but yeah, jay got that. nas came thru on the hook tho, haha, shyt is fresh

 

[Mike Otherz]

nas verse was trash, but i know jay put that weak ish on purpose. jay is 0 for 20 on great rappers burying him on his own isht. had to vince mcmahon that isht.

 

[smoking man]

nausher lost

Perhaps Jay requested that Nas hold back a little. I mean, Nas has been torching everything since 2011 it makes no sense for him to spit weak on a Jov track

 

[Reggie]

Jay had the least mediocre of two subpar verses so if that's what you call bodying Nas then yeah that 's what he did.

 

[KG1]

Jay Bodied Nas. Although Nas wasn't terrible.


But WTF Nas promoting D'usse Now? I remember he wouldn't even do a Heineken or Budweiser commercial back in the day

 

[retroracer]

Song sucks, and did Jay have to give everyone who had a voice sample a feature on thus track? 3:12 with 5 or 6 features lol

 

[Driz]

yes

 

[WEKetchum]

Not really. It was a sub par flow from Nas and Jay flowed better but really.

To body someone is to have a verse so good you sit there going he outshined everyone (See Eminem on renegade).

One thing I came out of that record was that it seemed both dudes were trying each others flow. Nas was flowing with this sort of laid back Hov flow and Jay was rapping with a bit of pace like Nas does trying to get all his lyrics in.


I've said this before but one of the things I hate about collabos now is that we concentrate on them like they're competition and the one thing you can say about BBC as a track is that none of the artists, from Pharell's beat, to the producers ad-libs, to both singers vocals to both rappers...nobody stepped up. It literally sounds like they were all just hanging out at a party and took that recording booth about as serious as a karoke machine

Indeed.

Hopefully something better than this came out of that recording session

If anyone got bodied it was us
