Dudes literally change the rules for who they like more. If we use real life metrics for this jay and Nas beef, jay won, But nikkas just like nas more.
I mean dude literally ficked ol BOY Bm. If it's real beef that's automatically a win
Jay thought that was the kill shot but Nas laughed it off like it was nothing and that's a big part of why he won.
You compare their radio appearances after Ether and Super Ugly, Nas was laughing and clowning Jay, while Jay was stuttering, voice cracking like he was about to cry.
There was a lot more facts in Ether than Hov stans care to admit. You think Hov was shook like that off "schoolyard insults?"
Most factual track of the feud was Last Real Nikka Alive where Nas dismissed him from class.
Far as the thread topic Jay couldn't have gone that route because Nas had been calling him out for being a sellout and a shallow pop artist. BP2 was seen as weak in real time because of all them shameless cac pandering pop attempts.
That's another reason Super Ugly failed, it played right into what Nas saying. Called him a woman hater in Ether, then his response is to humiliate a woman to try and get at Nas. Then all of a sudden the next year he's on that Excuse Me Miss, Bonnie and Clyde wave
Now what's fortunate for Jay is that Nas ain't drop a Made You Look type track right after Super Ugly, where he was just clowning on Jay mercilessly and treating him like a joke
