I would say yes. This beef seems a lot more serious than Jay-Z vs Nas and seems like it could escalate even further. Strange as it may sound, this is probably closer to 2pac and Biggie at this stage.

Pac vs BIG is still the biggest battle ever just because of the obvious fallout. But it’s hard to consider it an official battle since Biggie never claimed a Pac diss.

If you're reaching,

Who Shot Ya and Long Kiss Goodnight are really the only candidates. Then there's the "Two.. Pacs" line which was more self ether.

If you include those two songs, both are way better than "Hit Em Up"

It's bigger yes, Drake is bigger than Jay was, Kendrick is probably bigger than Nas was too. Not better though

Yes and no.

From a HipHop standpoint. Hell no. Nobody is gonna be saying a nikka got “euphoriad”

Literally the way we talk about beef and hiphop came out of jay and nas.

“Ether” “Stan” “Don’t want it with” “arms are too short” “had a spark when you started”

And more, all a forever part of the culture/lexicon

I doubt this beef produces anything that stands the test of time.

From a pop culture standpoint…Yes

Twitter era EVERYTHIING is bigger. this beef has reached well beyond where any “normal” HipHop feud should/would in the past.

I mean to me it is but I was in elementary school when Jay and Nas went at it so I can't really call it.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
This generation has a bunch of ignorant none reading fans.

Drake wouldn't have been a star in that era.

Drake would've been a solo version of Smiles and Southstar




So I reject any and all comparisons.

Back then lyrics and word play mattered. All nikkas care about is if it's a hit record of if you can shake your ass to a song in a diss.

Bolded.... Correct.

This isn't hip hop anymore. This is a pop culture beef.
They're comparing music and situations that were strictly for black people, to this crap, which its not

That part too. I was in Florida so we got shyt way late, felt like months behind.

Now it’s all instant globally.

Each track hits 5+ million within the first 24 hours, instantly reacted to, reviewed, lyrically broken down, even the news reports on the shyt.

Tracks getting played in arenas within 48 hours.

I had to wait for mixtapes to get bootlegged here.

It very well could be for the following reasons:

1. Hip hop culture wasn’t as mainstream as it is now. Nowadays, you have social media to amplify it. They talk about this shyt on TMZ and other platforms as well that didn’t exist back then. Only MTV and BET even talked about Jay vs Nas (as far as mainstream outlets).

2. Drake and Kendrick in 2024 are bigger artists than Jay and Nas were back in 2001. Jay back then might be bigger than where Kendrick is now though.

I’m not talking about the quality of the rappers, the disses or none of that shyt. Just strictly talking on the magnitude.

I’m not some youngster either. I was in college when Nas vs Jay popped off
