How did Jay-Z's beef start with...

[GangstaBoogy]

Foxy Brown?

Ja Rule?

Mobb Deep?

Nas?

DMX?

[Elevz]

I didn't even know he had been in this many beefs 

[M Dogg™]

Foxy Brown - mad that Jay-Z would not work with her. She thought they could make more music together, and needed him as a ghostwriter.


Ja Rule - Irv and Ja wanted to do a reunion of Jay-Z, DMX and Ja Rule, but Jay was not up for it. Basically it's be like if Ren wanted beef with Dre for not doing NWA.


Mobb Deep - have no clue, just knew Mobb Deep was dissing Jay-Z


Nas - actually started with Bleek dissing Nas for taking a melody of his for his Nastrudamus hook, and never stopped dissing him. The Roc prides it's self on if you battle one, you battle us all, so eventually Jay-Z took that beef, plus since both where the top of the NY, it was for pride.


DMX - never knew there was beef.

^good lookin

actually I aint too sure he really had beef with DMX either. i heard that his last verse on "Takeover" was aimed at DMX, and we aint seen them workin together in years so...

i had always assumed that DMX's verses on Uh-Huh with Jadakiss were directed at Jay-Z...

from what i heard the Jay-Z-Mobb Deep thing has been around for years, maybe even as far back as volume 1...i think someone said Jays first few lines on Where Im From were directed at Mobb Deep...

also when he said "its like New York been soft ever since Snoop came through and crushed the buildings" on Money Cash Hoes (i think), Mobb Deep and Nas didnt appreciate it lol...

[smartass]

he also had beef with mase. i remember mase was turning back into murda right before he ran to atlanta.

I seen your team in a crisis before, thought I forgot?

This is the cause of the Mobb Deep beef.

[pappy]

Foxy Brown?

Ja Rule?

Mobb Deep?

Nas?

DMX?

He hasnt got beef with Ja, Ja helped him at Best World Tour when Kelly left

listen to the interview, Jay said it himself that they put their "differences" aside for that night so the show could go on. and he said his situation with Ja was never "that serious"

[BuddenzNasir]

Jay-z beef was cause he fucked Foxy who was Nas's bitch at the time.

[GangstaBoogy]

oh, what about Cam'ron?

[Jome]

Jay & Camron never liked eachother, Cam was a Dame Dash signing, more like a business move.
