34:19 Can I Get A... is not your record either Jay-Z lool. It was originally Ja Rule's record, that he was going to do solo, Ja Rule wrote the hook and gave Jay-Z the flow for the song too. Ja Rule said when he was working on his album, he got the beat and began jotting down his thoughts and putting them together. Jay-Z heard it and was like, ‘This is dope. Let’s do it together.’ So Jay-Z got on it, put his touches on it and threw Amil on it Irv Gotti said Jay-Z was in his office at Def Jam recordings vibing to the song and Jay-Z said 'Yo what's this' Irv Gotti said Oh it's a record I'm doing with Jah and Jah gotta hook, Ja Rule then rapped the hook. Then after Jay-Z left the office he calls Irv Gotti five minutes later and told Irv Gotti to let him get the record. Irv Gotti was like, 'What record?' and Jay-Z said "The record y'all doing niggas, this shit hot" so Irv Gotti put Jay-Z on the phone with Ja Rule and Ja Rule gave Jay-Z the flow and hook of the song. Irv Gotti also agreed to let Jay-Z have the song if he kept Ja Rule on it

But, this just shows people how great Nas was and how powerful Ether hit. Because Nas had everything against him and still they had to concede he won.

jayz was mad because nas didnt show up to record his voice for dead presidents

[@RAakaCHI-191]

Jay-Z mother acknowledged this and made Jay-Z go apologize live on Hot97 interview with A gie Martinez, but that apology is no longer in the internet, someone paid big bucks to block it from all Social Media.

[@GodmadeTrends]

Jay want to fight him, then do ppv battle. He couldn’t let it go, that Ether was something else lol

[@danielalberto2895]

So than in that case you don’t like Tupac for the things he said? 😂 this is hip hop man! A battle is a battle! It’s evolved! Tupac was going for BIGS head

[@stackzdollaz9508]

Jay is a better business man

[@Bigchanze]

Facts !!!!

[@elbowgang9715]

Facts. Jay obsessed with him..why else would he even ask his baby momma what sex positions Nas did on her? That's weirdo shit

[@ChronosJG]

@Clockwork did you even listen to ether facts? Jayz practically begged nas to be on all his classics..Jesus the jayz stans on here only listen to one side..

[@E1LTSaves]

@@ChronosJGand you believe that

[@faison514]

I'm a Jay Z stan but I always felt like Nas won that battle. That beef made me respect and listen to Nas. Jay remained my favorite rapper and Nas gain a new fan in me after that. The debates become so boring over the years because both sides been using the same talking points forever 🙄

[@faison514]

@Healthy Hustla You might've misunderstood me here

[@VisualControlRoom]

Nas definitely won, no debate

[@Brooklynboy7806]

First of all Jay won the battle of the songs and album sales Hellloooooo!!!

[@dnzwill]

Nas last 5 🔥 albums in the last 4 years has sealed the deal on who’s better.

[@chasep1310]

Good looking out for this; 🙅🏾‍♂️🎁👏🏽✅✨👌🏾🙌🏾

[@aaronwhite1481]

jay mad emotional ... I remember when Ugly came out that shit was so weak bro.. its like why even respond after Nas Ether

[@animebrospodcast4577]

It definitely wasn’t weak that’s your bias showing it was brutal

[@I_voluptuous]

Angie was always jayz rider jeez didn't know she rode this hard.

[@chickgeorge2341]

Damn!! ANGIE WAS ON HOV'S JOCK!!! Awww Jay-Z lost to Nas. Lol Angie Freakin JOKE!!

[@ChrisBeenRaw]

Jay with the Tone of Defeat and the Sounds of Bitterness.

[@purpeso9921]

JayZ was 20 years ahead of the game. Verzus came to flourishing

[@mattlawrence1932]

Honestly if Jay had this war with anyone else, nobody would even remember it💯 NaS is at the top of the food chain & he's the only reason this battle was so legendary cuz even tho Jay was a multiplatinum artist, his beef wit NaS is the only reason he's held in such high regards cuz nobody was calling Jay no goat back then but folks was calling NaS one including Jay himself 💯

[@riz5913]

Angie a groupie I see why Nas aired her out

[@ChampLeads]

@what part do HOV talk about Fox??!!? I don't give a fukk bout all the rest on dis but bout F-O-X

This is like when the South lost the Civil War and they still erected Statues for the South.

Anybody got the interview of jay z and Angie right after super ugly and he apologized

[@starfoxx82]

I have been looking for that interview for the last 10 years. I am convinced Jay-Z had something to do with erasing that interview from the entire internet.

[@mambaarmy24]

@@starfoxx82 it was here, like 5 years ago, but it got taken down

​@@starfoxx82 You are correct. It got taken down after some large payment was made.

[@donaldharrison554]

Stop playing Takeover was sic🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jarmainemorrow2474]

its funny how Nas fans declare him the winner of this battle back in the day, The silver lining i give to those that love Nas is that he didn't take the battle lightly. He attempted to hold his own and for the most part as an emcee he did that. Jayz is on a different mental level than Nas a different street level. Time has shown this on every level. Nas is the neighborhood kid that a lot of people that wanted to make it can identify with on a personal level. They relate to him. Jayz represents a different echelon of hustler and business. NO room for the Dames at a point. A person that recognizes he grows past a rocafella group. And takes a solo career while lifting up the Kaynes, Rihannas, Beyonces< J coles, jay electronicas. There is no equal conversation. bosses know bosses. From the streets to business you cant compare the two. It's not personal, its business. Wishing nothing but the best to Nas in closing

How funny would’ve been if nas was cool with the payperview thing and nas knocked jay out smh lol

[@GodmadeTrends]

Jay would’ve probably committed suicide after this

[@DiggumSmack77]

Jayz would have told his ass "NO....don't sign him!" ...lying dude

That’s not true because irv told us he asked jay n he told him to do it
