I dont even remember this.
I be wondering sometimes where I can get a breakdown of some of the greatest events in hip hop history, a literal play by play of every single incident that happened.
Does anything like that exist?
Bleek had the song what you think of that and the chorus had a line about “ I’m a ball til I fall what you think of that”
Nas drops Nostradamus and has a line in it that goes “you want to ball til you fall I can help you with that”
People gas Bleek into thinking Nas is dissing him and drops Mind Right and has the line “Your lifestyles written? Who you supposed to be play your position. “
Nas’ mom get sick and is on her deathbed so he takes a break from the industry to where people believe it was over for his career. (The “I gave you life when nikkas was forgetting you MC “ line from blueprint 2 is a reference to this.)
Jay does summer jam and disses Prodigy and starts feeling himself and declares that Nas doesn’t want it with him.
Nas, while watching his mom slowly pass away gets the news that he got dissed by a dude who had been trying to be his friend for years that he’d been curving and was stalking him so hard he started dating his baby mother. (That’s where the “ I KNOW YOU ain’t talking “ line in the beginning of ether comes from. )
Rest is history

Ego got to Jay. He really thought he was nice like that and forgot he was the jealous one that was pumping out pop albums.
Didn't help that his crew didn't hold a candle to Nas either and all got bodied in the process

It's not Nas' fault that cats discovered the internet and leaked the album before Y2K hit.

Nas sent their whole squadron packing ..
At least Nas had real goons backing him.
QB may have issues with Nas but they aren't going to let Camel diss em.
SP and Jay just had a musical relationship. They weren't cool with him outside of the booth. Bleek will always be in Jay-Z's will
That's a part that rarely get talk bout but imagine what a p*ssy ass nikka ya gotta be to diss a man when you know his moms was sick
I can see why Nas saw red and thought bout the hangin shyt

Dame's biscuit head azz shut Nas show down.
It's not fair because Jay dissed Carmen
Still better than BP2. Much better. And since we're on the subject of sales, it didn't sell much after it came out even with bigger singles and one of them was produced by The Neptunes who were producing huge hits left and right. Still ain't do much for sales. And to make it worse, Jay even dropped a 2.1, which still didn't do anything. Jay Z had to retire to save face.
The Booth is frozen in time breh. These dudes sound like they still rock Pelle Pelle and Ecko on a daily basis. Only problem their hairline sitting in the middle their head and they wake up with random back pain. They the Uncs they used to make fun of for reminiscing about Kurtis Blow and Run DMC in early 2000’s.

Esco was popping shyt back then
Nas also commented about the credibility of Jay
Z's first album
He could never do a Stillmatic - He put his out first album, with my voice on a hook /'I'm out for presidents to represent me
He had Babyface on his joint (Sunshine).
He had Mary J. Blige on it (Can't Knock the Hustle) and Biggie (Brooklyn's Finest). How can his shyt not go gold? Yet, they wouln't even be in his fukking videos." Why do the tracks then, I ask.
His response is a chuckling, matter-of-factly *For the checks! A check is a check..
Once Nas recovers from laughting, he continues.
• Foxy Brown - it's that bytch that blew him up -
he owes her his entire fukking career.
My shyt didn't have anybody on it - I had AZ, but he was a nobody - I was try- ing to put him on. Nobody co-signed for Nas - and my shyt blew. Until he does that, he'll never be on my level - and he can't 'cause he can't recreate history. There will always be a Nas before Jay Z.
He will always be my junior. And he makes that obvious when I don't. He wishes he could start
his career all over again, but he can't - it's too late." *And who is this cat anyway? I don't even think he knows who he is - when The Firm was out, he was shouting The Firm out, when Biggie came out, he was runnin' around in Versace and gators, when DMX came out, he started wear.
ing bandannas and rhyming with Swizz Beats. Who is he? He's fukking
"Chameleon Man", that's who he is (Nas chuckles). I mean, I understand you gotta keep up with the times, but at least etch something out in stone for yourself first. He fakes like he's one thing when he's really some-thing else.
That's why Jadakiss said 'and don't apologize on
your two-way'. cause that's exactly what [Jay Z) did. saw the nikka and acted one way and then hit him on his two-way apologizing.
Like I said, the nikka is "Chameleon
Man" (Nas is doubled over with laughter)."
I am sold 500K the first week and then Nostradamus sold 232K the first week. That’s two albums debuting #1 and #7 on billboard charts the same year. Hate Me Nkw was everywhere and Nas is Like was a street banger.
Only on the Coli is that a sign that you are on your way out.
