dat was the shit right there

dmc blew it ... thats how moe d and k won it .... run did his thing but dmc dropped the ball on his last verse especially

KMD : I would take a person and break down their weaknesses and put it in rhyme form and a lot of Emcees dont know - there is a humor element to battle , an insult element , a truth element , and you can even add a spiritual , or Afrocentric element like KRS does . When you put those all together it makes you multidimensional , and a lot of Emcees think that its just sayin the hottest shit to make the crowd react , when there is so much more. Thats why the best battle Emcees in the history of the game are : KRS , Big Daddy Kane , Caz & myself . I see some new guys with potential , but the environment that we are in now doesn't allow them to fully show their wit . Like Nas & Jay Z - it was refreshing on one hand to see it , but it wasn't like the old battles. Nas just did the truth thing on him , and that just shocked the people , but there is a certain level of lyrical wit that I miss in the battle .

Didnt Takeover have all those elements to make a good diss song... humor, insult, truth, and spiritual?

"Takeover" didn't make Nas cry though.."Ether" on the other hand...

I never seen jayz a drop tear. Neither did you.

Awesome drop! I never dug any of KMD's music except "Let's Go. And of course I think L got him. Till the Break of Dawn" sucked all of the wind out of him.

This is the type of knowledge that needs to be passed around. He summed up the Nas, Jay battle so perfectly. Must admit, even I didn't really let it process that Jay Z's response was that of someone wounded. At the time I just thought he was trying to get his Pac on...

I disagree by the time Till the break of dawn dropped. Moe D was somewhat of a relic and the newer MC's had the game in a Choke hold. By 1990 Moe D was 10+ years into the Rap game. His time had passed so, with or without that Record Moe Dee was simply a Pioneer trying to hang in there.

If someone has to tell you how to be a dope MC, it isn't meant to be.

 

[bignorm73]

Nice drop...where this from??

He covers this battle more in depth in his book; There's a God on the mic

 

[jek]

I'm glad even oldee goldee pioneers of the rap game can see that Jay got his ass torn apart. If you let the reason tell it,...half these niggas actually think Jay won the battle and Jay even know he lost, that's why on the blueprint 2 song he was coming off angry at the fans for making Nas be the victor. Even after that too I've seen niggas on here very recently say Jay won....ol dumb ass Jigga warriors. They better off changing the subject than saying stupid shit like that.

LMAO...man I like Jay but that nigga sound broken,

 

[bignorm73]

LMAO...man I like Jay but that nigga sound broken,

He was, Memf Bleek even said that it was mad tense at the Roc the day that shit dropped.

 

[EuropeanAndWhite]

LMAO...man I like Jay but that nigga sound broken,

yeah, but wouldnt you be broken too? I most certainly would if someone dropping a record like ether that the whole country hears... shit hurts.lol.

 

[Mumo X]

KMD : Thats when I knew that Nas had gotten to Jay - Z pyschologically , his response sounded like an emotional rush . Almost like Tyson trying to prove that he can come back & beat Holyfield a second time and he bit his ear . Its not like Jay Z cant rhyme , but people have specialties . Jay Z s specialty is street flavor and hustler game , but to battle someone like Nas you have to step it up a notch . I always said that the reason LL can never win a battle is because he talks so much about himself , that he cant talk about anything else . He used his charisma , energy and vocabulary - which is basically a combination of my style , T la Rock & Run but in battling its more . Like when I hit him with the Ls ( lower level , lackluster etc) it wasnt just insulting , but it had poetic value to it .

Cosign this..........

 

[Nah Son]

As smart as Jay might be, he made a lotta wrong ass decisions during that battle..

 

[deeroc22]

But Jay-z spit straight truth on Take Over and Nas told random Jokes on Ether.

but your name is Ether not takeover.........

 

[coolc31]

But Jay-z spit straight truth on Take Over and Nas told random Jokes on Ether.

That was the only problem I had with people proclaiming Nas the winner off Ether. Ether was a good record, but he was doing a lot of name calling...talking about dude looks & bs. I really don't care who is considered the winner, but in my opinion, Ether wasn't better than Takeover, but it was better than Super Ugly.

With that said, they're both pass the battle so we should be too.

 

[bankrupt baller]

Cosign

Jigga ripped nas to pieces wit one verse that was facts

Nothin but facts

While nas said frivolous bullshit bars like "Dame diddy/dame daddy/dame dummy/Oh I get it you biggie and he puffy"

"Rockerfeller died of aids" = Never happened

88 you was gettin chased in your building = never happened

their company wasnt named after the real rockefeller,the guy they named their company after did die of aids...fact.

as far as getting chased through the building,you have no clue if it happened or not so you cant call it fact.

 

[bankrupt baller]

so jay z can say he lost,bleek can admit it and jay can damn near cry on the radio afterwards yet jay still won on the ic?

lol "the internet aint real"
