The Notorious B.I.G. Vs. Nas, JAY-Z, Wu-Tang, Big L, Roots etc - Beef Analysis [King Of New York]

Biggie Vs Nas, JAY-Z, Big L, Ghostface, Raekwon, Wu-Tang, The Roots, Craig Mack, OGC, Jeru The Damaja, Royal Flush & 2Pac, Beef Analysis (King Of New York), Evolution Of Disstracks - Hip-Hop Universe
Competition has always played a big role in hip hop. Battle rhymes, diss songs, trying to outshine someone on his own song, it’s all in the spirit of competition.
But in the mid-90s, the competition in New York was especially heavy. Let’s think about the rappers were coming up at that time - you had Nas and Big both releasing landmark debuts in ’94, Mobb Deep damn bringing all of Queensbridge wherever they went, Raekwon with The Purple Tape and the rest of Wu-Tang by his side. Most of the rappers on our greatest of all time list came on the ’90s East Coast.
The Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album contained a skit called "Biters" in which Raekwon and Ghostface discuss how much they hate rappers that copy styles, slang & lyrics.
The Notorious B.I.G.’s album cover for “Ready to Die” was interpreted as biting Nas' “Illmatic,” cover, and the Chef and Ghostface clown Biggie without dropping his name - the point was made, and Big later kicked in the door.
Of interesting note is that Method Man was featured on Big’s The What and his own crew is spitting fire off the same album.
It seemed as though a new rapper was making their claim for the throne every other day. So when it came time for Nas to drop his highly anticipated sophomore record, on the song "The Message" he made sure to let everyone know who was the rightful king of New York.
It has been widely perceived as singling out B.I.G., who had been declared “king of New York” in an infamous 1995 profile in The Source.
Nas, whose Illmatic pioneered the NYC street rap that Biggie perfected for pop radio with hits like “Juicy”, tries to reassert his royal status on his more commercial sophomore album.
Nas has confirmed that the song actually disses The Notorious B.I.G. with the lines, “There’s one life, one love, so there can only be one King.” This lyric challenged Notorious B.I.G.’s title of King of New York at that the time of its release. He responded on the track “Kick in the Door” from his 1997 album Life After D3ath.
From Biggie’s second and final official album, Life After D3ath, “Kick in the Door” is a diss track aimed at everybody, nobody, haters, other rappers (including Nas, Jeru the Damaja, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah), and most importantly, YOU. He dissed more than a dozen rappers on the entire album & showed Nas & the Wu-Tang clan that he's the superior rapper & the rightful King Of New York.

I look at it like this, when Nas so called “fell off,” it was primarily due to Biggie & Pac getting assassinated. Hip Hop was in SHOCK!!! If Big & Pac was still Alive, Nas would’ve had the Inspiration to be on his A Game. The death of Big & Pac changed a lot of Dynamics.. Nas even said, “It used to be fun, making records to see your response, but, now competition is none, now that you’re gone…” It F_cked Nas & a lot of peoples heads up, because it was giant paradigm shift… Trust me I know, I’m an Artist from Brooklyn NY, who was part of the Hip Hop scene at that time (look up Dead Poets Society “Klocuz,” I’m the last dude). NY was feeling it, what a tragic time for Hip Hop. Thank God for Nas, he’s doing better than ever these days…

Great Video!!!.....I know alot about 90s hip hop but I didn't know this many shots were thrown between all these mentioned rappers. And how many lines from there albums were directed towards each other.....like Wu saying they bit Nas' album, taking about BIG album.....cool video. Didn't intend on watching the whole 2 hrs but how can ya not 🤙😛💯🔥🤔😎

This was a good watch... Good job...

His friend Ill Will got killed, His brother got Shot and he had just had a baby, Biggie was in the best mind frame to excel while Nas may have had writers block on top of all those things while trying to deal with the pressure of the best lyricist. ..

That Tracey Lee album was also amazing & slept on. A lot of people forget Big was putting Tracey Lee in the commission as well.

Literally just listen to it last night

[@realone7524]

Yep, ByStorm Entertainment was like the Philadelphia version of BadBoy and that 'Keep You Hands High' verse from BIG was one of his best

Tracey used be at Palmers Social Club in Philly on the regular it was a good look fa Philly. A dope Philly M.C. at the club regularly and had no ego.

This video is the best shit on KZbin, just raw 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mythoughts67900]

I can watch this all day. Thank you for upload. It’s always getting goosebumps listening to some interviews by BIG, or Tupac and others emcees. And studying their lyrics and the wordplay and get to know the story behind it. Back in the day we have some brilliant emcees, with great producers and beat maker. DJ Premier, Havoc of Mobb Deep, The Alchemist, The RZA, J Dilla, Pete Rock and many more. All these people’s are amazing.

Ikr?? I feel the exact same way.✌🏾😂💯
