This has got to be one of the all-time petty moves in rap. I was in a (rare) good mood today and this old Nas classic from 06' (the last year of hip-hop) came to my mind. So I went to Itunes to put it on repeat.
Nas "Can't Forget About You" -
One of Nas' most heartwarming songs. And it's reflective for the listener (in the way other Nas classics like "Just a Moment") can make you reflect on your own life. And one of the most heartwarming lines in "Can't Forget You" is a line for the listener to reflect back on special moments in THEIR life like "the woman with whom YOU first made love". Notice, Nas is using the second person.
"Some things are forever
some things are not
It's the things we remember
that made the world hot
and fit in your mind in a place so snug
Like with whom is the woman
that YOU first made love"

But if you listen to the current version on Itunes he ruins it by inserting a petty diss to Kelis:
"Some things are forever
Some things are not
Like my mom's cooking I'll never forget
And my x-wife (Kelis) that made me sick"
and then cuts to the chorus (LAME)
