Shawn Jay-Z Carter (nacido el 4 de diciembre de 1978 en Brooklyn, Nueva York), más conocido como Jay-Z o por una variedad de apodos (Jigga, Jay-Hova, Hova, Young Hov, Jigga-Man), es un rapero y presidente y CEO de Def Jam (cargo que dejó el 31 de diciembre de 2007), propietario del The 40/40 Club, y, además, posee parte de la franquicia New Jersey Nets de la NBA. Ha sido uno de los raperos más prolíficos y exitosos durante el final de la década de los 90 y principios de siglo. En una lista reciente de la MTV recopilada por críticos de hip hop, Jay-Z fue catalogado como el cuarto mejor MC de todos los tiempos, solo superado por Rakim, The Notorious B.I.G. y Tupac Shakur.

Conocido por su hábil empleo de las metáforas, sus capacidades de freestyle, su astuto juego de palabras y la combinación del hip hop callejero con el comercial, Jay-Z se convirtió en uno de los raperos más respetados de la industria antes de su retiro en 2003. Se dice que compone las canciones de memoria, sin necesidad de usar papel y lápiz. Junto con Damon "Dame" Dash y Kareem "Biggs" Burke, es uno de los fundadores de Roc-A-Fella Records, sello discográfico de hip hop que ayudó a lanzar las carreras de artistas como Beanie Sigel, Kanye West, Memphis Bleek, Young Gunz, Freeway y Teairra Mari. En 2005, se estimaba que su fortuna se elevaba hacia los 320 millones de dólares.

 

Rivalidad con Nas--

 

La rivalidad entre Nas y Jay-Z comenzó tras unas disputas de Nas con Memphis Bleek (protegido de Jay). Jay-Z respondió a las canciones de Nas durante un concierto en New York de 2001, presentando su canción "Takeover". En un principio, la canción debía ser solo un 'diss' a Mobb Deep, nombrando a Nas solamente cerca del final del tema. Sin embargo, Nas grabó "Stillmatic Freestyle", un tema que usaba el sample del "Paid in Full" de Eric B. & Rakim, en el que atacaba a Jay-Z y al sello Roc-a-Fella. En el álbum The Blueprint de Jay-Z de 2001, volvió a escribir "Takeover", dedicando la mitad de la canción a Nas, diciéndole que "tiene un promedio de un buen álbum por cada diez años" (refiriéndose a Illmatic), que su flow era flojo y débil, y que había fabricado su pasado de vendedor de drogas.

Nas respondió con "Ether", tema que comienza con el sonido de unos disparos y unas voces repetidas clamando "Fuck Jay-Z" (tomado del "Fuck Friends" de 2Pac). En "Ether", Nas acusa a Jay de robar letras de The Notorious B.I.G.. El tema fue incluido en el quinto álbum de Nas, Stillmatic, lanzado en diciembre de 2001. Stillmatic fue un álbum de reaparición críticamente aclamado, además de tener mucho éxito comercial, aunque no al nivel de It Was Written y I Am...; el álbum debutó el número 7 en las listas de Billboard e incluyó los singles "Got Ur Self A..." y "One Mic". En términos comerciales, The Blueprint de Jay-Z fue doble-platino mientras que Stillmatic fue platino.

 

Jay-Z lanzó el 21 de noviembre de 2006 su álbum de regreso, titulado Kingdom Come. El primer single, "Show Me What You Got", estaba disponible en Internet desde octubre, siendo un éxito en las listas y alcanzando la posición #8 en Hot 100. El álbum está producido por The Neptunes, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Kanye West, Cool & Dre, The Runners, Dr. Dre y Chris Martin de Coldplay, que además colabora en el tema "Beach Chair". El álbum vendió más de 600.000 copias en su primera semana. En 2007 realizó la banda sonora de "American Gangster" película de Ridley Scott protagonizada por Denzel Washington y Russel Crowe, álbum que alcanzó dos número uno en el ranking de la prestigiosa revista Billboard (Billboard 200 y Hip Hop and R&B).

The highly publicized feud rivalry between Nas and Jay-Z started around 2001.

 

In 2000, QB's Finest was released on Nas Ill Will Records. QB's Finest is a compilation album that featured Nas and a number of other rappers from Queensbridge projects, including Mobb Deep, Nature, Capone, the Bravehearts, Tragedy Khadafi, Millennium Thug and Cormega, who had briefly reconciled with Nas. The album also featured guest appearances from Queensbridge hip-hop legends Roxanne Shanté, MC Shan, and Marley Marl. Shan and Marley Marl both appeared on the lead single "Da Bridge 2001," which was based on Shan & Marl's 1986 recording "The Bridge."

 

Jay-Z, in his song "Takeover", criticized Nas by calling him "fake" and his career "lame". Nas responded with "Ether," in which he compared Jay-Z to such characters as J.J. Evans from the sitcom Good Times and cigarette company mascot Joe Camel. The song was included on Nas' fifth studio album, Stillmatic, released in December 2001.Stillmatic debuted at #5 on the Billboard album charts and featured the singles "Got Ur Self A..." and "One Mic."

 

In response to "Ether", Jay-Z released the song "Supa Ugly", which Hot 97 radio host Angie Martinez premiered on December 11, 2001. In the song, Jay-Z explicitly boasts about having an affair with Carmen Bryan, the mother of Nas' daughter Destiny. Hot 97 issued a poll asking listeners which rapper made the better diss song; Nas won with 52% while Jay-Z got 48% of the votes.

 

By October 2005, the two rappers had eventually ended their feud without violence or animosity. During Jay-Z's I Declare War - Power House concert, Jay-Z announced to the crowd, "It's bigger than 'I Declare War'. Let's go, Esco!" Nas then joined Jay-Z onstage, and the two then performed "Dead Presidents" together, which Jay-Z had sampled from Nas song "The World Is Yours". The two also collaborated on a song called, "Black Republican" which can be found on Nas' album, Hip Hop Is Dead. They then collaborated again on a song called, "Success" from Jay-Z's album American Gangster.

  

Thank you Hinkle Hinkle for you inspirational words :)

powerful album... my first ever esco fan art.

"Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared

They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds

So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years

Sittin on, different benches like it's musical chairs"

Sensai Tate's Nas Collection

I beg for God's help, why they love hurtin me?

I'm your disciple, a thug certainly

I'm the N the A to the S-I-R

If I wasn't I must've been Escobar

Forty-five in my waist, starin at my reflection

In the mirror, sittin still in the chair like my conception

When everything around me got cloudy, the chair became a king's throne

My destiny found me

It was clear why the struggle was so painful

Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to

And God, I'm so thankful

♫Butta Verses - Best that i can do♫

 

I'm about hit the final stretch in my 365, i've had my stints of laziness, procrastination, fear to execute on ideas. Now is the time to go out Gun's blazin.. really wanna end how i started.. i feel like the best part of my 365 was the first 100+days, time to bring it back like Stillmatic ;)

Q. “How many mics?”

🤔

A. “Yo, all I need is one mic...”

😎🎤

“...one beat, one stage

One person front, my face on the front page

Only if I had one love, one girl and one crib

One God to show me how to do things His Son did...”

(Nas ~ One Mic)
