"Getting killed" refers to the disparity in quality of verses, Nas and AZ both killed Lifes A bytch. Noone got killed. Nas IMO has the worst verse on Affirmative Action too, doesn't mean he got killed either.

What made it worse is that the best lines on his verse, he actually took from Cormega. Half ass effort from Nasir on that track.

Nas and AZ both gave legendary verses on "Life's a bytch" but this is all I can think of when "Renegade" is brought up:

Who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics?
Who could inherit the title? Put the youth in hysterics?
Using his music to steer it, sharing these views and these merits
But there's a huge interference, they're saying you shouldn't hear it

See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ, the king of these Latter-Day Saints here
To shatter the picture of which of that as they paint me
As a monger of hate, Satan, a scatterbrained atheist

:whoo:

The discussion ended a long time ago.

impeccable lyricism

i love how nas flipped this on jay, cause on takeover jay was the one saying nas got murdered by horse, i think
nas basically took jay's line and flipped it in a more memorable way and 'you got murdered on your own shyt' was born!!!
:ooh:

Those are the lines that Cormega gave to Nas. Outside of that, he really didn't say much.

Pac got smashed by meth and red

Red and Meth are certified emcees that'll kill and outshine most on their own shyt..

Pac is the king of getting dominated on his own shyt. Even by ''lesser' random rappers he was usually short of breath struggling to keep up..

Nas verse was better on the album version because it was more vivid and his laid back flow matched the jazzy beat better.

Az verse sounded better on the remix
