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.

nikkas like Jay specifically aren't ever supposed to make it out the hood if we keepin it a buck. Scrawny weird lookin non athletic drug dealin drop out nikka from Marcy projects. The shyt he's done is absurd.

Imagine being 29/30 years old with millions, the same crew from the block, running through NYC. That's Jay and Puff were doing.

Puff was one of the highest selling high profile artists of the 90's, in a club with a pistol on his waist. Grammys and all that lol Jay's 5X platinum stomping people out in the club with his crews.

And Jennifer Lopez, media darling and poised to become huge star, on his arm. doing coke in a Lincoln Navigator with stash spots for the pistols.

My guy Shyne was arrested with the hot pistol still in his waist

Puff spent 1997 on a campaign to be this peace maker in Hip Hop. By 1999, when everything changed from the glossy, party vibe to a more grimier, street vibe, Puff was willing to risk it all to fit in to that grimier street image when he'd worked so hard to be viewed in a more positive light.

All I know is in an interview with C Bmore Doggie Diamonds ask her about Un. And he said Un was kinda like an east coast Suge Knight at one point. I wanna know why he said that.

I don't know about that. Jay has a photographic memory and was reading at a 12th grade level in the 6th grade. No doubt the odds were stacked against him, but he could've lucked into the more conventional academic and white-collar route if given the opportunity and if he wanted it.
