When I think of this song, I think of Jay-Z's opening line "Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?" Which most people, most people do not listen to the substance of the music, and just bop their head to shit that sounds nice. The second thing that comes to mind when i think of this song is Nas putting emphasis that eminem murdered Jay-Z on his own shit. Funny line honestly.  Did eminem really murder jay-z on his own shit or did he just provide a better flow for the beat? 

Well...to me, eminem came with a better flow for the beat, just as jigga stated on Clap For Em. I am probably being called a dumb fuck by the reader right now, but it is ok. When you look at the shit that was said between both, both stayed on topic with their choice of shit to speak on. That is where it ends, line for line, bar for bar, jigga shitted on eminem.  Shit is sad though, even most fans of "lyricists" do not break the shit down, of course eminem stole the song with his presence, but realistically what else did he honestly do? Nothing.

Again, just my view on one of the better songs on a classic CD.
