The machine didn't work in Jay's favor. It aldo didn't help 50 during the whole G-Unot campaign either.
True but by the time game and 50 were beefing 50 was already on a decline especially after single handedly dividing nyc. During the jay vs nas beef they both were on the same level mainstream wise and both were great in they own regards but from day even up into that point nas was always favored more

50 was still the biggest rapper out. When that while campaign started, 50 was arguably the biggest name in music. Him being on the decline is hindsight because in 2005, 50 had the biggest album (only Mariah's Emancipation was bigger) and a triple platinum soundtrack. He had hits and was a huge part of the reason for The Documentary being successful.

Nas was not on the same level as Jay mainstream wise. He was nowhere near that. Nas coming back with Stillmatic leveled the playing field, before Stillmatic, a lot of people were counting him out. Jay was untouchable until Nas dropped "Ether".
