I think we can all agree that these are the only men who hit KING OF NEW YORK status....

[Street Knowledge]

Jay- Z didn’t disagree

Not an argument. Lyrics? Production? Quotables? Nothing

The 3 best verses in the whole beef were Jay Z verses. 3rd verse of takeover, 2nd verse of BP2, and 2nd verse of Supa ugly.

The best Nas verse was the Stillmatic freestyle.

It was called I Declare War because he initially had the concert that was supposed to be coming at a bunch of nikkas throwing shots at him. He did a bait and switch and peaced it up with Nas. "I Declare War" had nothing to do with the Nas beef. I see u one of the BK Jay Z dikkridin ass nikkas tho. U ain't low. And I'm from Brooklyn too by the way.

You must not know my history here.

shyt debuted at 18th on the charts

It peaked at 12

Thats not the king type numbers

The picking and choosing when sales counts is disgusting.

I just want to see the consistency. They’re going to then tell me Jay wasn’t king of NYC in 2006 because they didn’t like KC even though he had the biggest album.

Bullshyt.

Nas was buzzing so hard the label paid to have The Lost Tapes put together to capitalize. They also pushed UP the release of Gods Son to combat bootlegging because people couldn’t wait.

At no point were people bumping Nas songs over Cam that year. I speak what I saw and live



Cam and Dipset's buzz from 02-04 in NYC was 100% a "you had to be there to get it" moment. '02 Cam had the mixtapes and then Come Home With Me, with Oh Boy amd Hey Ma everywhere. Plus the style side he was poppin too. Fab and Cam were the ones pushing throwbacks the most at first, and then Cam started with the pink shyt and went viral before viral.

Yall never have an argument because you know the truth . You can’t actually explain how the song is better because you know you can’t

Hot take; I think there were a couple months if not a year where Pun could have been a contender for the title.


and @Cladyclad everyone heard about pun cracking Jigga's head open and chasing him around the club and that shyt burned your boy's soul something serious
