The point is to humiliate your opponent, Nas used a simple beat and the bars did the talking. It's pretty obvious it's the better dub? Nas would have been pissing himself after that, Jay-Z is on radio sounding very, very shaken. I just don't get how anyone can say Jay-Z won after hearing that.

SR, those examples of Jay-Z bars aren't saying much, even if he did show Nas a gun, how is that a diss lol? And I don't think Nas cares about Jay-Z selling more either (Jay-Z talking about sales lol, typical). And sleeping with his child's mom... unless they were together, that isn't really a diss either. If I was Nas I'd be like, who gives a shit?
Pretty much.


Nas lyrical verses were more complex,interesting and clever.He went beyond just talking about "sells, cars, women, etc"--- basically gimmick things, which is all Jay Z really can talk about.

Nas lyrics had more depth and the metaphors he used were insane.
