Jay spit the first two verses at Summer Jam in June, including the "ask Nas he don't want it wit Hov, noooooooo" line. This prompted Nas to release the Stillmatic freestyle that summer, and not long after that, Jay released the full Takeover. Summer 2001 was :whew:


If you didn't hear the Takeover until the album dropped, that's on you. :yeshrug:

:what: the album dropped on 9/11, but Takeover was out before that.
I came in here to echo this. I remember buying the BP1 on CD the morning of 9/11. My job sent everyone home so I went to best buy and copped it that morning. Remember this clear as day. Takeover was out way before 9/11.
