For most his albums, Jay always drop late third or 4th quarter. Nas I think is a little less consistent in when his releases drop. During the 2000’s they were bound to have some close release dates cause all the big dogs use to drop 4th quarter. You had to be good to do numbers cause that’s when all the big dogs dropped. You wasn’t that popular, it would be wise not to drop 4th quarter. I don’t know if it’s still like that but it was more serious back in the day. Lion King is not a Jay Z album lol. Also, dropping on or around the same time is some competitions shyt. Rappers always talk shyt about you better push your shyt back and shyt like that. Although I don’t think Jay was timing his shyt in regards to Nas. But they clearly had a rivalry and a Cold War before the battle

Up to BP3 Jay-z always dropped in 4th quarter (or September), Nas seemed to have times him on a few occasions, was he also known for being Lord of the 4th quarter?

Nasir was pushed back several months and was randomly put on the same date as Everything is love.

And I don't even know about Lion King, that was like a billion dollar Disney movie vs a Nas mixtape.


This is also 7 occasion of 26 Hov Albums, almost always is a very strong statement in mathematics

He a dikk riding fakkit who loves the attention

But anyway the bro @Greenhornet

Breaks it down perfectly

dog that dude is all cap in here with the backpeddle shyt

this song was the first clip emptied... he made it clear he was in float mode, he ended the whole crew in 2 bars easily and let them know what time it was
drove back by with the .45 out... shot a few more shots in the air and came straight forward

Jay was working and using babymama shyt and "Is that your chick" and later "supaugly" were more ruthless but that babymama shyt aint gonna win in a feud when dudes are coming at your neck and your crews neck dolo
Nas kind of did was Mase did with Cam but obviously way quicker, he had more ammo and built his arsenal. Jay figured Nas was cooling off and attacked him with mid and fame. But none of that flossy, I fukked your bytch shyt is strong enough to win like that
If Jay would have baited Nas better he might have had a good battle... but he already showed his hand way prior. You cant say the same thing on every diss track over and over

Thats why this track was monumental. It showed the power and force of shyt brewing over, and he let it be known ... fukk all of yall 100% ... this shyt definitely had the streets bubbling we are still listening to it today.

Takeover wasnt as hard, the beat with the Doors sample was more like a victory lap and the bars werent poison. You cant victory lap while the dude is loading the llama Ether was fukking harsh even supaugly after wasnt really as harsh. He said he fukked carmen in like 4-5 songs there was nothing else left for him to say, he should have left that shyt alone because everyone knew she was a bird. That should have been the last thing he said not the first, and then you gave Nas enough leverage to strike when he played himself out saying the same shyt. The whole Stillmatic freestyle should have been where he fell the fukk back. Like dude said about feeling like a Pharaoh Nas was charging his cannon up on this bytch. Its the musical version of a stick up, he's waiting for anyone to make a move to kill them. Its a hole Jay dug himself into way before he fukked up by not planning right... him being insecure made him think a hoe was enough to tip the balance ... the hoe actually got you jammed up too.

nikka dropped personal attacks on your bday and told your crew to fall back and they didnt even fukk with you anyways, while you stood there and had to hear about reality minus yes men saying you were cool. Thats a cold ass drive home from the studio knowing people around you dont even respect you or take you serious and only latch on because of money. And secretly the world clowns you behind your back.
And dont get me wrong I love Jay, Nas, Big, Pac whoever... but the timing here was just fukking terrible... could have baited Nas way better than this. Should have dropped Supaugly, Takeover, Is That your chick last ... Nas would have had to dodge more and then respond at the end. By the time the battle got hot Jay already said all his main talking points.
