as classic as Nas - Stillmatic Freestyle is when i first heard it my thoughts was...

[L. Deezy]

Poor Sisqo. Nobody ever talks about how Nas REALLY ended this dudes career. It seems like Nas found a way to diss him without even directly dissing him in like 3 songs from that time period. He used his name like he a common noun, like he wasn't even a real person

Lol.. I remember Sisqo responded by saying he had more money than Nas

 

[THE K-MAN]

I always liked this part the best.

Rip the FREEWAY, shoot through MEMPHIS with money bags
Stop in Philly, order cheese steaks and eat BEANS fast
And bring it back up top, remove the fake king of New York

The way he went at Jay's whole camp.

just ran through the Rocafella B team

 

[Billy Ocean]

I can't even fathom anyone hearing Stillmatic freestyle and thinkin Nas wasn't prepared to woop some camel ass

 

[tybo]

All three of Nas's main disses (Stillmatic Freestyle, Ether, and Last Real nikka Alive) were superb in execution. It's like Nas was just one step ahead the entire battle. When a man has the fact that he slept with your child's mother, makes more money than you, and is more of a mainstream artist, and STILL can't ruffle your feathers, your just the superior MC....

VERY good observation. Never looked at it like that.

"im rhyming on a disco beat, you's a faq ya next rhyme should be on a sisqo beat"

luv the stevie j smiley!!!

 

[MoneyBags]

wild guess: no one.

Jay said that on either the mtv special or the BET special they did with him and Nas

 

[prophecypro]

I remember the night it dropped (End of July/Early Aug 2001) and people on SOHH talking about "Welcome back Nas!" people were happy as fukk lol

 

[Danie84]

This came out after Beans told Flex to turn down Nas Is Like because of all the flutes. I was but I had no idea the napalm Nas was preparing with Ether.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Lol that whole diss was a booby trap lol

Looking back at takeover it was just jay defending what nas let out the bag on this freestyle

Then after jay showed all his cards on takeover nas got em on ether

Even the little sneak attack jay had in his pocket wit the carmen thing nas exposed it in the mag before jay could drop superugly killin the impact that diss would have

Nas the goat

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Disgusting diss. Way too many quotables. One of my fav. parts wasnt even a jab at Jay, it was just Nas flexing his Mc skills

But in the projects, I vision Muhammad in linen garments
Preaching Man, Woman, and Child, the living Prophet
And I'm similar, Nasir Bin Olu Dara Visqu Allah
Fist full of dollars in the dice game, God
The Ice King, God, the Black Christ, elegant stance
Clothes fit me like a crime boss, the menacing man (I fukkin love these 2 bars)
I see the world collapsing, young pregnancies
Young girls are fastening their Sasoon jeans, no prophylactic
All this fast shyt and fly jewelry, now makes my eyes teary
N Y City, grab a hold and ride with me

Then he just shytted on the entire ROC roster with the next few lines.

The GOAT

Cosign, that whole part of the song had me like " .......hov done fukked up "

 

[mikishere]

Stillmatic freestyle was Nas best diss in the whole battle... Ether was hot garbage

It made your fav rapper cry on radio and admit defeat though

Sisqo got sonned so bad that no one ever talks about it. Cause he will and probably off'd himself.

Stillmatic Freestyle over that Paid in Full beat was pure bliss.

The Ice King, God, the Black Christ, elegant stance
Clothes fit me like a crime boss, the menacing man

those bars were some of the sought after rhymes I ever heard.

 

[Conscious Pilot]

the way he calls out Jay's BS drug stories got me like


Nas the only nikka with the guts to call Jay on his
