But shortly thereafter things got “super ugly” when Jigga released a counter-diss alleging, in graphic detail, that he slept with Nas’s baby mother, one Carmen Bryan. Furthermore the lyrics clearly insinuate that he did so while she was concurrently dating Nas. Jay and Nas took a plethora of lyrical jabs at each other throughout, with the former being aided by his trusty sidekick, Memphis Bleek. Yes, as the official account goes Nas and Jay-Z’s feud actually began when Nas failed to appear at a scheduled studio session circa 1996 to record a song that was to be featured on Jay-Z’s album. This led to Jay-Z famously sampling Nas on “Dead Presidents II” (1996), apparently without Nasty’s permission. This started a feud between the rappers which more or less lasted an entire decade. Yet according to her own account, she may have been behind the biggest turn-of-the-century beef in rap music, that being Nas versus fellow NYC rapper Jay-Z.

Using rap battles as analogies for athletes sparring in the media? Guess Kellerman is #fortheculture. Kellerman’s argument started off strong, but lost steam as he started trying to explain it. He likened Jay Z’s admission to using Nas’ line “and making it a hot song” to Charles admitting his own flaws, including never winning a championship, but still putting the “truth” out there about Nas.
