Is "The Takeover" the most FACTUAL diss of all-time?

[GentMan]

All battle records by nature are very subjective but this one stands out for the sheer number of FACTS Jay was able to fit into it.

Lyrically it reads like a peer reviewed research paper.

"Sold more than your whole album sold in my first week" #FactsOnly
"Showed you your first Tec on tour with Large Professor" - Corroborated by those familiar with the situation
"When I was pushing weight, back in 88, you was a ballerina" - this one is up for review. likely off by more than a few years

The ENTIRE THIRD Verse is a blend of objective and subjective barbs. The ad-libs are just as vicious as the actual jabs. Listen to it and you can hear the cockiness in Jays delivery.


"you's the faq model for Karl Kani, Esco ads"

Maybe not faggy per se, but sus nonetheless.

"You Made it a hot line, I made it hot song" - Dead Presidents I and 2 are considered two of Jays strongest songs in his entire catalog.

Having listened to this record after 12 years it still sounds current. Drop some other FACTUAL disses from emcees.

[Zach Lowe]

Lie: It Was Written was "ehh"

[The Entity]

[Shammago]

We know that factually Jay Z cried after the release of Either

 

[Premeditated]

I notice it everytime I play it.

Nas could only come up with subjective statements and opinion.

you think you gettin girls now cause of yo looks.....I have never once heard a girl say she thought Jay was even remotely attractive

Eminem murdered you on your own sht.....only helen keller would disagree

callin my crib and I aint even give you my number.....even nas aint creative enough to come up with that. Must be true

---just off the top of my head.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

[Animal House]

[avon barksdale]

Nas - dikk-riding fakkit, you love the attention....Truest words said about the camel

''Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy
Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy'' - true cause the camel does swagger jack

''You seem to be only concerned with dissing women
Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they call u ugly'' - true in song cry the camel said
Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Then I showed up in that dubbed out buggy''

It had some facts, but a lot of that shyt fades the more you know.

The P shyt was just straight up Jayz dirty play, nikka showed a one second clip on summer jam so it looked like he was dressed like a ballerina. When later you found out it was him as a little kid dressed like Michael Jackson. But it didn't matter by then, the ballerina shyt had spread.

you been in it 10/I been in it 5-

faq model... didn't really look gay in those ads

The shyt that did hit hard though was the record selling part, showed you your first tec, you know who did you know what, serchlite publishing.

And the half a bar line was nasty too.

its a top 5 diss but its part ducktales like every diss ever

 

[AkaDemiK]

the only thing takeover had over Ether was the instrumental. Kanye laced Hov with a monster. Song is still dope though...it ain't no ether tho.

 

[swerve]

Do we say Takeover'd? nah

we say ethered
