I've seen this interview before. The first thing that came to mind after watching it was....."Imagine if Big & Pac had came to this point."

[@jamesdiligents6384]

Ross Tarik Copeland nah it wouldn’t have that beef was basically crips vs bloods , pac crossed the line on a lot of shit, biggie crossed the line poking jokes at pac shooting , there was no them making up , somebody had to die in that situation, unfortunately both died

[@dmercy8477]

I hope both the Nas fans and Jay-Z fans can understand how important this beef is for Hip-Hop instead of constantly attacking and dissing both rapper's legendary statuses. Both will go down in history as two of the all time greatest even if you don't like one over the other you can't disrespect and take away the others talent over it specifically Jay-Z. I may be a huge Nas fan and not much of a Jay fan and there’s several reasons why I not a huge fan of Jay-Z but I will always respect both rapper's lyrical talent. I'm still waiting for that collaborative album of the two. This beef was and still is legendary to this day. Both went in at each other's necks hard. Though Nas won the feud, Takeover and Ether are still one of the greatest diss tracks of all time and I'm still listening to the songs today.

For the record I stan both Jay and Nas. Jay is lightyears ahead of Nas musically, he's much more diverse and has the GOAT discography and by far the most consistent of all time. But Nas will always have the GOAT album Illmatic, the GOAT diss track, won the GOAT rap beef, and Illmatic made Jay into the artist he is today. Nas is the better MC, but Nas being the better MC does not mean that he makes better music though. Look at Eminem, phenomenal MC but his music is legimitately terrible after TES.

It always interests me that people say Nas is less successful this and that...🤔 The 2 just move differently. Same destination, different route/vehicle. Besides, i still think you hear people say that Nas' album is arguably the best hip hop album of all time. That suggests its still unmatched, so regardless of commercial success # etc. He achieved that at what, 19 just making his art? For all the albums put out by peers it's still unmatched?? 🤷‍♀️ Ijs I don't think he has anything to prove. They're just both great. Nas happens to have defined what personal success looks like to him IMO.

[@Sounzgudd]

I love Nas jacket. 🧐 It's always the quiet ones lol Nas diss coming out and that whole time period let the world know he can't be controlled or defined by someone else. He had time. Lol You can see the seriousness in his eyes from time to time, like "I'm dead serious... there will be no Take Over"
