I like Nas better...but Jigga clowned him COLDLY. I thought Nas had killed him with 'Ether' until I actually listened to Jay's shots at him. Listen to verse 3 off 'Takeover' on the first Blueprint:
"That's why your - LAAAAAAAME! - career's come to a end...there's only so long fake thugs can pretend
nigga, you ain't live it you witnessed it from your folks pad...you scribbled in your notepad and created your life
I showed you your first tec on tour with Large Professor...then I heard your album bout your tec on the dresser
so yeah I sampled your voice, you was usin it wrong...you made it a hot line, I made it a hot song"
or the title track off the second Blueprint:
"Cuz you don't understand him, it dont mean that he's nice...just mean you dont understand all the bullshit that he writes
is it 'Oochie Wally Wally' or is it 'One Mic'?...is it 'Black Girl Lost' or shorty owe you for ice?"
OUCH! Apparently, battling Hova aint a great idea.
