Rap and Hip Hop stories...and everything in-between.
Throwback Song- The Takeover (Jay Z)
In 2001, Jay Z had reached monumental status in Hip Hop. His songs had taken over radio, TV, and the Internet. He was everywhere. But he needed total control and respect, so he had to go against the two people in Hip Hop that he felt were his biggest competitors...Prodigy and Nas. When he dropped Takeover he made the whole world standstill. He was calling names, taking direct shots at these two rappers. This hadn't been done in this proportion since after Biggie and Tupac passed, so it made it a big deal. Prodigy didn't quite come back from that, and Nas had to make a harder diss song to come back from it.
