obviously naS won at being a black republican (which is a loss)

naS dont pay no tax like Mitt Romney (Jay pays more taxes like Obama wants him to)
naS named his album NIG.GER like Uncle Ruckus would (Jay made the blueprint)
naS is a hypocrit like republicans are (oochie wally wally or 1 mic)
Jay was helpin with Katrina (Bush and naS sat on their hands)
Jay helped with Columbine (naS bought himself a gun)
Jay hangs out with Obama (naS kicks it with Amy Winehouse)


i think its clear

Observation, I think BR was Jay song. Because I never understood Y a line Jay said was the title. Nas never mentions Republican at all :krs: in all honesty it should be called Black Militants btw Jay got by a landslide "the team got beef /between the post/ and the point/ this puts the ring at jepoardy"

The beat was produced for Nas and the story goes he was in the studio hearing it and Jay came by to say hi. Just then they heard the Godfather sample and said fukk it lets do it right here. It was never in concrete stone to collabo together after the beef but they knew eventually they would be something that they could both rap on and that submitted wildfyre beat was it.

:aicmon: Just how :ahh: starts it off, you already knew he wasn't going to have :scusthov: outshine him.

I'm back in the hood, they like, "Hey Nas"
Blowin' on purp', reflectin' on they lives
Couple of fat cats, couple of A.I.'s
Dreamin' of fly shyt instead of them gray skies
Gray 5's, hate guys wishin' our reign

NaS won. While neither was at their best,NaS presence was a lot stronger. The black militant sounded forceful and confident focusing on the present, whereas the black Republican sounded winey and unsure of himself while reminiscing about a failed friendship. Not only does he have whiskers like a rat,jigger proved to the hip hop community he acts like one towards his friends when he no longer needs them.

I love this track. I can't believe I see nikkas hating on this track in this thread...

I love both verses, but Nas bodied this sh*t:

I'm back in the hood, they like, "Hey Nas" (Uh)
Blowin' on purp', reflectin' on they lives
Couple of fat cats, couple of A.I.'s
Dreamin' of fly **** instead of them gray skies
Gray 5's, hater's wishin' our reign dies
Pitch, sling pies, and ****** they sing, "why"?
Guess they ain't strong enough to handle their jail time
Weak minds, keep tryin', follow the street signs
I'm standin' on the roof of my building
I'm feelin' - the whirlwind of beef, I inhale it
Just like an acrobat ready to hurl myself through the hoops of fire
Sippin' 80 proof, bulletproof under my attire

Could it be the forces of darkness, against hood angels of good
That forms street politics - makes a sweet honest kid
Turn illegal for commerce - to get his feet out of them Converse
That's my word


Top 5 Nas verse to me, and no, I am not even kidding :wtb:

It's a tie for me but that bolded part always gives me the :ahh: :wow: :lawd:

It was basically a draw, you should've put that option in there.

Jay's verse started off a lil erratic but was better.I believe nas was intimidated that the guy who publicly humiliated him was on his album and song his verse was basic and sub par

Jay murdered nas on his own shyt.Dope song
