X always shows Nas love. Says he’s the only rapper he likes watching perform.
Is it Big Pimpin or 4:44?
I found it quite ironic that Jay was calling out Nas's supposed contradictions on "Blueprint 2", but was out here with two singles aimed at females ("Excuse Me Miss" and "'03 Bonnie & Clyde") on the same album as this:

And then threw this in the song for measure:
Say Jay-Z, why you gotta go and disrespect the women for, huh?
^^^ all because Nas said "you only concerned with dissing women" on "Ether". Jay was out here doing mental gymnastics for damage control. Surprisingly, Jay didn't called out for it during that era. One minute Jay's simping in elevators for women, the next he's dissing them on the same album. Is it Iceberg Slim or Shawn Carter?
