Their Wiki page doesn't do them justice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Bass
Back in the day, I got every project associated with 3rd Bass and followed them heavy.
Pete was Nice with the slick diss. He was once managed by Professor X, sissssssssyyyyyyy. That's why 3rd Bass fired the first shots at X-Clan.
Zev Love X, aka MF Doom, wrote Serch's lyrics for the GasFace remix

"i see some white boys snd they tryin to play black,
give a gas face and your bound to get slapped"

Ok. Guess Jay is a liar then. But it's curious that Nas has never addressed it.

“The reason that Jay thought I owned Nas’ publishing was I was working at Def Jam at the time and he was about to put out 'Dead Presidents' and he needed the sample cleared,” MC Serch said. “So, I said ‘I’ll hook you up. I’ll give you a fair deal. I’m not gonna jerk you’…So, I cleared the sample for like $2,000…He paid Zomba, but he thought I was involved. So, he thought my company was called Serchlite Publishing, which it wasn’t. It only became Serchlite Publishing last year…You know how much love I get from that line though?”

Prior to speaking on Nas’ publishing and Jay Z’s “Takeover” mention, MC Serch recalled meeting Nas in the studio and assisting the rapper with securing a fair label deal as his manager. Serch ended one potential deal for the rapper, a deal he says was “bullshyt,” before approaching Russell Simmons and later Columbia Records.

“So, Nas comes back the next day and he tells me ‘Yo, I need your help. I got this deal. I don’t feel good about it,’” Serch said. “He just wanted my help…He wasn’t signed to anybody. Stretch and Reef had made him an offer. The offer was $150,000 and 50 percent of his publishing. No advance on the publishing. Nas felt some type of way about it. And he asked me to help and I said ‘I can’t help you unless you’re signed to Serchlite. I’m not gonna go negotiate with friends.’ He’s like ‘Alright, I’ll sign.’

“So, Nas signed with Serchlite and I gave him a very fair deal,” he added. “My whole thing was I didn’t want to be the Jew who jerked black men. Like I wasn’t gonna be that guy. So, I go to Stretch and Reef and I said ‘Listen, I can’t let him sign this deal. You know this deal is bullshyt. He’s like ‘Listen, this is what [Commons] is offering. Come on Serch, don’t get in the way.’ I’m like—I said ‘I can’t. That’s like—it’s a shady deal. It’s like a 1988 deal. Nas is gonna be the greatest emcee of our generation.’ Helen Keller could see he was gonna be the genius that he was.”

Jay seems very business oriented...just seems wild that he would lie about invoices he probably reviewed and OK'd during that era.

Here's the quote from the Epstein interview... which rebuts Jay's line, but he still hedges it a tad bit.

MC Serch: "I never really paid that line much mind. It was a way of Jay getting underneath Nas' skin. The truth of the matter is we don't own Nas' publishing, never have. We administer Nas' publishing, but Nas owns his own publishing. So when Jay said he paid Serchlite Publishing, it's not necessarily true. It's just a way of getting under Nas' skin."-Mc Serch

I tried to tell cats the Serchlite publishing line was :duck:as soon as "Takeover" dropped. But nobody had time for facts, it was a rap battle.
