I premiered this video live and we had nearly 1,200 viewers watching at once that was amazing and mind blowing to me! Thank you all for the support I hope you guys enjoyed this episode this is just the start of Season 2! Stay tuned more to come. Despite all the copyright issues and demonetization I'm still going to make these videos for you guys I believe in good content will bring good loyal audience regardless of anything else and that's what exactly you guys are thank you so much for the support!

💯 Facts, but of course this was all pre-social media, KZbin etc. days! These were the days when radio play could make or break you and records were physically sold which called for 💰 & lots of effort put in by the artist and their team. This is 1 reason why J sold more than Nas who even mentioned it several times throughout the documentary (J payed 4 plays and favor at the stations).

I definitely agree with your war and battle commentary. I just hate that we compare Jay Z & Nas because to me they are completely different artists and people. Nas has a different love for music (due to his dad’s influence) and is held to a higher standard. When Nas puts out commercial songs, it’s the “Nas fell off”. But at the same time, Jay Z does several commercial songs and everyone loves it. Nas wasn’t trying to play the political games, hence why he hasn’t won a Grammy. Jay Z not getting signed to a label was his biggest blessing. He learned ownership, which made him the mogul he is today. Because of Jay-Z’s come-up story and current success, he gets more respect from all generations. When people talk about Jay Z, it’s beyond the music. Nas put out a “grown man” album (Life is Good) in 2012 and it was phenomenal, but rarely mentioned. But when Jay Z did it (4:44), everyone loved it. Nas is just ahead of his time and paved the way lyrically.

A battle is for a short period of time and a war can go on forever. Im looking at it as a battle is between jay and nas rapping and the war is between who made out the best since the battle.

@@jjjayden8964 ok but jayz got nas over to his side so who won,everytime nas drops something jay z drops something in the same week

[@jjjayden8964]

@@dantedlane2 Huh?? Over his side?? You do realize that jay dropping the same time as nas proves that ether is potent and still has jayz in his feelings. Like nas said back in 01. You will have to deal with ether for the rest of your life. Ether burns. Oh and one more thing: Ether dropped on jayz birthday.😂😅
