The top 3 biggest rappers at the time joining forces was insanity I wish they would of put their egos aside and make things work![]()
When he told nikkas to throw away their jerseys & switch to button ups, I like![]()
who was the 3rd?
But u know how that shyt goes. Jay is way up and x is way down, he won't say anything bad bout X cause it's nothing to gain from itMissed this thread from before, but EVERYTHING Irv said was the truth and he didn't need to say anything good about DMX seeing as X went at him and Ja
Jay Z would ask Irv if he thought X was better than him
Def Jam would laugh at X for barking saying he won't sell
Gotti told JayZ that X represented the people, him... NOT SO MUCH
Music Video Reference, DMX "Get At Me Dog"
Major tension behind the hit factory photo

Snake just like master p
No matter what anyone says...even tho Jay became Jay in 98...98 belonged to X
It's Dark & Hell Is Hot >>> Hard Knock Life

Back to the topic, X was so far from being jay competition when jay took over def jam that it ain't funny. X was washed beyond repair and his crackhead ways took over. They released him and let him take his music wit him and he put it out and it was trash
If he was so hot during that time wouldn't there have been a bidding war on who was going to sign x. Nobody even cared bout that last album

But this thread is pretty much about X saying jay wanted to kill the competition by destroying X and killing his career when he took over def jam. That's not true tho, cause the 2 were on 2 totally different levels at that point. X had already ruined hisselfAin't all this shyt irrelevant tho? Everyone knows there wasn't no competition in recent years ..
Considering X first album was what .. 98 .. I think we can forgive the fact his last album and a couple before it was trash![]()
Jay seems to be the only one that wanted to grow as a person and distance himself, others wanted to keep it real/street. Can't hate either, because they all had a chance to do different things with their lives but chose their own path. All this stuff is just old and lame now.

Didn't we have this thread a month ago?
look...X was a fukkin Beast...but he was and still is a crackhead. All that "Jay got rid of the competition" shyt..nah, dude was fukking up and fukked up his career. Them nikkas was on the same level at one point and Jay made chess move after chess move. X didnt. That's life
