When it happened, who woulda thought that the arguments about who won would still be going damn near 20 years later.
But I'm just gonna say this and be out: I really thought the "Takeover was filled with facts" bull**** had been thoroughly broken down already at this point.
I mean damn, possibly the most popular line from the diss is that Nas had one hot album in 10 years, as if It Was Written didn't happen. a 4.5 mic album and a classic. The serchlite publishing **** was lies, Nas owned his publishing and Serch administered it, Serch has verified this. World is Yours is a hot song, arguably hotter than Dead Presidents. Lies and twisted opinions and people still actin like it's facts in 2017. Not to mention they got mad at Nas for the gay jokes but Jay kicked it off calling him the *** model for Esco
.
I can def understand liking Takeover more because the beat or the way Jay skated or whatever, but that facts vs. lies **** was always the stupidest ****ing argument to make imo
