Maybe it's just me but i always thought Jay viewed P as a threat when it comes to rapping & always planned to battle him on wax like he did with Nas.

Shame P & Jay didn't exchange obvious bars at each other around 97/98 when their tension started to build up for whatever reason.

You can say Takeover is just as much about Prodigy as it is about Nas

Maybe @FreshAIG can clarify but I always thought it was because that line from Where Im From,

I'm from where the hammers rung, news cameras never come
You and your mans hung in every verse in your rhyme

Mobb rapped about getting caught up in Marcy on Trife Life. Were there earlier shots?

I'm not sure about prior shots...

"We the streets that's watchin', boy, move diligent
You better walk like a nikka on a tightrope do"


But I'm assuming this was P's response to Jay's bars from Where I'm From...
