Jay-Z Speaks To XXL About Unreleased 2Pac Diss

[Meho]

If you think Jay-Z was gonna take Mr. Shakur’s Makaveli jabs laying down, y’all got another thing coming. Here Hova reveals for the first time that he had a diss song ready to go until real life drama tragically replaced rap music beef.

Jay-Z:
“I reference Jordan because he had similar stories. He said that he felt cheated when he got to the league and Larry Bird and Magic were leaving. I feel like that. I be like, “Damn, I wonder what it would be like with Big and Pac and everybody here.” The worst I’ve heard was that I wouldn’t be who I am if Big and Pac was here. That’s God given talent. You can’t…

“And that would have been interesting too, how that would’ve played out with me and Pac. Because I wasn’t where I am now. It would’ve went down, it was a collision course, 100%. I knew some people out West and they told me about the [Makaveli] song. It hadn’t dropped yet, but was on the way. I had my record ready. I shelved it out of the utmost respect, but it was coming.

“I performed it one time only at Apollo over ‘No Diggity.’ No one has that tape. They usually tape the Apollo shows, but they had just stopped taping for some reason. We tried to find the tape. It’s 2,000 people that know about it. I did two verses. It’s the truth, that’s the best shit. It’s so liberating, when you say what the fuck you wanna say.”

Look for the full story in the December 2006 issue, on stands November 7.

lmao at this story. 'they just suddenly stopped recording the apollo, but there's about 2,000 people somewhere in the world who heard it'

[d-nice]

Yeah Pac was a beast on these rappers. Even if Jay had a reply, Pac probably would have had 3 more waiting for him. Not to say Pac was the greatest on the mic and Jay could not hang, but he was a diffferent mc when he was dissing. That shit was funny as hell listening to Makaveli Bomb First and hearing him diss Biggie, Jay and Mobb Deep. He rode that beef till the wheels fell off. And they did not want to diss because they would have looked like suckas dissin a dead man. So he STILL got the last word in. HA!!!

Oh, Jay ain't no punk on the mic, One of the best IMO. I just was remembering back when that beef was going on. It was about to get real personal.
