Is the Jay-Z vs. Nas thread finally over?

I saw that Tracer Hand posted on the Jay/Nas board saying that it's over. Is this the end? After two whole years? Best moment? Best poster? Share your thoughs.

I don't understand a single word of that thread. Is there a summary somewhere?

― Sommermute (Wintermute), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

reading it takes about two hours!!

Da Capo should stick that in their Best Music Writing book this year. Screw the Strokes.

i agree (except i think it would be too long)

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm severely mortified that it appears I have actually killed that thread, even if it's only a formality at this point.

"2 hours"? more like 20!

what's the final byte tally for parts 1-3 combined?

Jay-Z / Nas hip-hop throw down? & other throw-downs?
Jay-Z / Nas hip-hop throw down? & other throw-downs? Pt. 2: The Saga Continues.
Jay-Z/Nas and other hip-hop throwdowns? Pt. 3: Still Going . . .

not alot of trife posts on them threads - what gives?

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

haha

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Well the throwdown was over a while ago and Nas + Jay-Z are pretty good mates now...... but I'm gutted, that thread was a miracle of the modern interweb.

Dag homey. So what's the results?

― NNC, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 04:01 (twenty-two years ago)

yo im sorry i hated on pac back then, i was like seventeen you know how kids be!!! also on that first thread i love how everyones reaction to me liking black rob is a real rap microcosm of the diddy-puching thread, see straight heads think i like corny rap too!! thats like the major reason i didnt post to those threads, i hate that lyricist deification bullshit... most of those rhymes posts are stilted and unwieldly and full of absolutely horrible 'clever' metaphors, hated whenever someone would just post normal thug shit and get 'schooled' on how real rappers use cutesy barman-esque puns, i mean the reason i like pacs simple-ass rhymes now is because i gave that shit up!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, but trife why say that here where anyone that might disagree can be dismissed with ease instead of there where you might have to - shock! - engage in a discussion about hip-hop with people who know and care about it as much as you do?

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 06:26 (twenty-two years ago)

that would be too much like walking the walk.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 06:29 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont really like to argue about rap, its just like me gushing over puffy on that thread, im not a strong enough critic to actually defend things musically or objectively or whatever...

― trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

then no offense, but if you're not a strong enough critic to discuss rap with rap fans, than how are you a strong enough critic with non-rap fans where even less can be taken for granted?

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, I'm not a strong enough critic to be discussing anything, but that hasn't stopped me!

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 07:02 (twenty-two years ago)

well itd be as productive as 'engaging' with ilm, which i dont really do either

― trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 07:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I challenge trife or anyone else to go on that thread and say whatevers on your mind. Then, let's see what happens. Any takers?

― NNC, Wednesday, 11 June 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

BTW, on a related subject... who actually *had* the last word on that "Who will have the last word?" thread on ILE?

― kate (kate), Thursday, 12 June 2003 08:09 (twenty-two years ago)

which one was that?

― n, Saturday, 14 June 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

NNC are you a Jay-Z vs. Nas veteran? I miss being able to go to that thread and see all kindsa new action.

As far as arguin' about rap, there was some interesting/stupid (depends on who you are, I liked it, some people thought it was awful) stuff here: Musicians you would really punch in the face

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Saturday, 14 June 2003 18:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, I'm not a vet, but I miss it too. Is there any way we can get them back for one more go round? Anybody have any favorites from there?
