WTF was Jayz thinking going at Nas?

[Art Barr]

The Clue freestyle that preceded this was nasty too

Jay was ducking and hiding.

Plua since jay never won a battle verse an of skilled contemporary.
All jay did was help nas pen grt more aggressive. Plus feedback. As well as put jay in a neg capacity. bar to bar in the exchange.
Sohh when jay tried to attack. It was never gonna be potent. As nas had like a three diss multiverse lead. Only people even entertaining jay were casuals. Plus jay fell for the trap and tried to monetize the battle.
that jay was ducking.
When that made it worse for him. As that made the timeline for nas to respond officially is on an album. That nas releases on his own time and general terms. Sohh now jay has an inferior reply. Plus still has to wait around for nas to officially respond. When nas feels like it on an album. While nas is also still active culturally. Plus more dedicated. As nas is going tha fukk in on jayz. Plus jay is being dissed by prodigy and fat joe. Who are active and culturally have more sway in their respective pillars.
Where there responses also expose jayz is weak.
Since jay is so money hungry.
To try to monetize the battle. That jiggy shyt hurt him.

As jay never had any output. To keep or save face. While nas was destroying him on the mic before ether.
By jay trying to monetize the battle on an album. Is the inexperience and inferior skill battling exposed it self. That it was only a matter of time.
If jay continues duckin.
Jay pr would have eventually beat out nas by war of attrition. Yet since jay tried to monetize the battle on an album. Instead of hiding his hands. Which is his only strategy.
Jay made it easy for nas.
Plus gave nas time on a major release.
To eventually use all rhe variables occurring at the time.
to beast even more and serve jay scary ass on the mic. This time on a major label album
Jay jiggy shyt and trying to monetize culturally taboo shyt. Came and destroyed his scary ducking style.
Plus monetizing the response.
Made it so the response.
Was gonna need to be sanitized and jay was losing his grip on hardcore. Which is reflective in how soft bp is as a rap long player.
That ducking soft jiggy shyt eventually was what killed him.
Jay losing is actually more his fault in strategy as some chess tournament guy.

I guess a lot of people forget about this which was the precursor to Ether

Jay top 10 but like Nas said he on a different echelon.

Facts. And Nas get more 304s, respectfully

“Girls dig you? Imagine what she feel for me /
You make hot songs but she know you steal from me 🫵”

Today is the 28th anniversary of “Vol 1”. All Jigga hate aside, let’s at least today celebrate that fukking weedplate glorified coaster of a CD and the impact it had on no one and nothing, f@git ass nig got madd wack albums lowkey.

 

[Ziggiy]

Jay was drunk off his own success and at the height of his arrogance. He thought he could take out both Nas AND Prodigy in one fell swoop and didn’t strategize beyond thinking having an affair with Nas child’s mother was a trump card.

It would be like Drake thinking he could take out Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross and The Week- oh wait he tried that and got knocked on his ass just like Hov did…
