My take on that line was Nas knew Em was considered corny and wack by alot of street nikkas around that time and was dropping tracks like big weenie and fack or whatever they were called. So he was implying Jay got washed by somebody wack. I always thought it was a shot at em too.

Those songs came out years later.

AZ def didn't "kill" Nas on Life's a bytch. AZ had a great verse, best in his career maybe, but it wasn't like Nas didn't kill it as well.

I switched my motto, in stead of saying "fukk tomorrow"
The buck that bought a bottle could have struck the lotto


That line alone shyts on a lot of rappers careers. Some true words to live by.

You are not "killing someone on their own shyt" when the other has an incredible verse as well. Case in point:

I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessing
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some Godly-like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from
My skull cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain
Don't go against the grain, simple and plain
When I was young, at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbing foreigners, take their wallets, their jewels, and rip their green cards
Dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash and
Got my first piece of ass smoking blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
nikkas I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds
I switched my motto; instead of saying "fukk tomorrow"
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic, keep static like wool fabric
Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage

“Eminem murdered you on your own shyt” is basically Nas’s response to Jay saying that Nas’s “bodyguards” had better verses on Oochie Wally.




A lot of the shyt they said in those disses went on to shape and kind of rewrite Hip Hop history. People harped on “1 hot album every 10 year average” for Nas even though that was far from the truth and people harped on “Eminem murdered you on your own shyt” AND “How much is Biggie’s rhymes is gonna come out your fat lips?”

Im sorry, but no it doesn’t. This is hyperbole. That’s a dope line, but, shyts on a lot of rappers careers? Come on now lol. Also, he telling people to buy a lottery ticket instead of buying a beer. That’s not really the greatest advice. Buying lottery tickets done almost did the same amount of damage to the black community as buying beer. Nas telling nikkas in the hood to spend they money on scratch offs and nikkas think he dropping knowledge smh. Nas one of my favorite emcees, but nikkas be ODing sometimes when it comes to him.

300 murders a year
i legit dont recall any quotable from renegade besides "you fukkin do gooders too bad you couldnt do good at marriage"

i dont feel jay got shytted on, the issue is, jay didnt get credited for being a great mc because he was a multi patterned, quick spitter which is what he was trying to be on that track. he wasnt himself and the intimidation from being on a song with eminem was obvious. meanwhile em was cool calm and himself. jay should have just been himself come with the witty big baller talk like he was known for which is why a line like "i am a hustler baby ill sell water to a whale" sold with another track and none of that "pocket filled with a lot of lint" shyt wasnt flying with nobody on renegade.
