Jay-Z Battling on the streets of New York in 1993

[Here Comes the Pain]

Nikka was bobbing for real.

 

[Art Barr]

Not in 1993. Eminem was trash then from the little we heard from that era

This is huff.
Jay whole everything was huff back then.

Big L was the one taping it but who knows where that footage is

Dmx ripped that nikka that is why you will never see the footage.

this is basura.....Jay has had a very strange career. 91-95 he was legit one of the worst spitters of the era....then all of a sudden Dead Presidents drops and hes one of the illest in the game....EASY. shyt was like a magic trick

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

If you haven’t impressed mad people on a random ny street corner free styling/ rapping you ain’t really a rapper

Facts (though it doesn't have to be in nyc )



You can tell a lot of these new cats have never been in a cypha

i've believed that too just off the way anyone from Rocafella gets asked about that battle its a long pause then Jay. feels like they just say it because thats home team. nothing wrong with that though.

 

[Soundwave]

No lie, I came in this thread expecting to be a camel joke and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed

epmd made hanging out in the sewer cool.
then, introduced us later to why epmd was in the sewer in the first place.



two years and several months later in late 1991,....
they gave us one of the longest running blockbuster slowburn hit singles in rap history. That was not matched in slowburn draw. till busta and put ya hands where my eyes can see and danger.

If you follow the timeline of Jay by 1994-1995 he stopped the fast flow and was very deliberate with his flow (tho still had hints of the fast shyt at times) and was very clever. Dead Presidents 1 dropped a year after the original In My Lifetime which was recorded in 1994 but dropped in 1995. And Jay was using his RD flow with clever wordplay.

And songs like Broken English and Understand Me which were recorded in 1994, Jay is using heavy drug talk and not rapping fast at all.
