it all started with pac
nas said he left the hospital the same night in the message and pyscho man tupac thought that meant he was trying to be like him
despite the fact that pac was re-making his songs, and pac wasn't even a gangsta in his own right, pac stans believed him.
Then mega made 200 rap songs rapping about how he sold more drugs den nas and caught more bodies den nas (which is true, but proves nothing. nas never said he was a bigger gangster den mega, nikka was arguing with himself)
jay-z used that tupac ammo in takeover years later and jay-z stans who are mad he got bodied, bring it up
nas was always the low key street poet that did his little dirt here and there, but was surrounded by killers.
