The editor of the rolling stones magazine once said that the beef was made up to increase the sales of their albums. I highly doubt that.

Jay-Z seemed more focused on making a track that sounded good rather than killing Nas. Nas just went in and probably made the hardest diss track of all time.

Speaking of him, I'm bumping his Hip hop is dead album a lot these days. I can't believe so many people dismiss it, very underrated work if you ask me.
