I Think One Of The Weakest Things About Takeover Is Jay Attacked When He Saw Nas Was Down And Out, Didnt Ever Bother Him Before That, It’s Like Hating On Someone From Afar Then One Day You See Them With A Cast On Their Leg And Decide You Wanna Fight lol

That's a interesting way to put it but you right :russ:

I remember that whole time period. What a time to be alive. Thats a moment we will never have again unfortunately. Literally overnight, folks stopped rocking with jay z. It was like :gucci: i never seen so many bandwagon jumpers in my life. Jay's career could have actually ended because i remember folks wasnt rocking with him at all after that. He was really going through it. Ether made him retire a second time.

Can any one describe the feeling on Sohh or any other hip hop forums when this dropped?:lupe:


Lol. Im trying to remember but pretty much, we all agreed that nas killed jay. At that time, we were happy that they were battling and it didnt end up becoming violent. Thats what we remember the most. It actually elevated hip hop especially after the tupac and biggie fiasco. It was jay vs nas and also jada vs beans. The roc vs new york pretty much. Eminem was hot at the time so folks were sizing him up. Thats when you saw the whole benzino and source vs eminem beef take off. I think benzino was calling him out back then too. Then the 50 vs ja rule beef was simmering in the background because 50 was dissing murda inc on those mixtapes.

You also have to remember this was right after 9/11 so there was so much worry in the air. Winters were cold back then too. That was a cold ass winter too.

The nas vs jay basically educated america on what rap/hip hop was. Eminem followed up with 8 mile and then thats what made hip hop pop culture
