1999 was the end of a certain era of NYC rap and the game, a collision of the streets and the newly formed moneyed crews that came from the same streets, you can see it throughout the year with it's biggest stars
Puff cracking a bottle over Steve Stoute's head LOL
Puff and Shyne shooting up a club in Midtown Manhattan with an A list celeb as his date
Jay and his crew beating down UN
They were all stars and this was the moment where the tension between the streets and the industry almost broke and derailed their lives and careers. Like what Jay tried to tell Sigel.
Imagine if Jay actually killed Un, on accident, or was blamed for it. had to do 9 years like Shyne. Career done. Imagine if Puff had to do the 9. Those guys barely made it out. That's why Jay's verse on God Did is so special.
