Jay-Z & Nas End Beef at 'I Declare War' Concert

Friday, October 28, 2005
By: brooklyniteOne


Beanie SigelAt Jay-Z's highly publicized "I Declare War" Concert at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, the aim was apparently to bring back the east coast, make a ton of money and end 50 Cents reign in the process. At the event Nas said, "A lot of ni***s is makin' money and still f***in' mad at the world!"

In a recent interview with MTV Nas commented that 50 Cent is still mad at the world. Nas said, "I would like to know what it is to sit down and talk to him[50 Cent], see what's on his mind. Because all he's showing is that when you get rich, you get angry at the world. And that's not what's it's supposed to be about."

At the "I Declare War" Concert at Continental Airlines Arena Nas performed the hook to Jay-Z’s "Dead Presidents," and also performed "The World Is Yours," "It Ain't Hard to Tell," "New York State of Mind," P-Diddy even came on stage and performed "Hate Me Now" with Nas.

During the concert Jay-Z exclaimed "All that beef s**t is wack." The theme of the night was unity no doubt as the Lox performed All about the Benjamins with P Diddy. Beanie Siegel came on stage to perform "What We Do." with Freeway and Jay-Z despite any talks of State Property beefs. Bleek and Peedi Crack were also in the building. Sauce Money performed "Reservoir Dogs" with the Lox and Jay-Z despite any beefs he may have had in the past with Jay-Z. The lingering thought is how will artists such as 50 cent who built careers off of beefs will receive this move?

Jay-z is getting his grown man on; everybody else should follow his lead! 50 cent should grow the F*ck up too. Even though i'm hearing the concert was wack, jay's move towards peace was a man's move! he showed sacrificed [image wise] to bring people together.

It took them fanooks about time to open their eyes.. They still need to do more for these young duns on the streets. Fight these mothaF*ck*n politicans like chuck d did... That's real sh*t, and they should even be F*ck*n with 50. 50 already lost his soul, F*ck em. Its emenim they need to be gettin at... Dr. Dre is in charge of the eastside, say what?? what the eastside n*ggas need to do is get tight with suge... Then sh*t would be real sweet, puffy needs to get his sh*t together, F*ck*n jagoff.. ./clay112

Another dud. Rap movin in another direction. All these prostitute n*ggas need to wake up and quit living in the 80s&90s. It is about makin money, deal with it. That is what the streets are about so it is what it is, face it. Matter fact, hiphop and rap are two different things. Watts started all of this sh*t with "the prophets" before kool & the gang. These east coast n*ggas is so F*ck*ng corny!

Great news for hip-hop, a big step in the right direction. Its what's needed for the east/coast rap right now with the south flooding the industry with trash-rap. In retrospect to fifty he will always make paper as long as people hate on his strategy. He treats the rap game like a drug strip, take out the king-pin then you get his customer's how the hell you supposed to make money if you and all the king-pins are friends/allies? he detroys elite's rappers street credibilty with inside information makes a song about it and then puts out albums profiting from the inside info/rumors. Then you form a coalition (g-unit) comprised of your peeps and other respectable rappers looking to ignite their career's who's willing to buy into and stand for your strategy at all costs. Its the same strategy those rappers used who "united" on stage with hov including himself when he and nas was at it. They need to just make authentic hip hop and stop counting 50's ones... Don mega g

The title of this topic should be jay z and nas unite at i declare war concert, niether one of them had any "beef" that talk on wax is used to get folks to purchase albulms and creates subject matter to rap about. Big explained what "beef" was if you don't remember or don't know what it is, throw in ready to die and listen closely again. Youngstaz. Stop referring to rap marketing schemes as beef because if either one of them had "beef" they would be where big and pac is at. Don mega g

What is beef? i eat it every time i have steak , burgers, and beef ribs... Yeah its cool that nas and hova have ended thier ongoing fued and all... Its about time. Az 4 fifty. That n*gga is on some other type sh%t. Hes gonna get dethroned..lol.. Why that n*gga always mad? he probably need to take a sh#t he might as well be constapated. Holla back at me.
Posted by Armyartilleryman13
I don't whats going on? why start beef if all u do is let it go. Then never start it whats the point of beef? and all they did was make a couple of comments and song and that was it. Thats not beef that a discussion between two grown a** men who don't like eachother at that time. Men get it together. And for 50 that dude is going thought things let him figure that out himself.
Posted by Valley Girl
That's a real big move by jay&nas, all i want now is good music from the two of 'em, f**k the guerilla unit let 'em make that pop music. I want hip-hop.
Posted by pipey
I believe that jay-z and nas are setting an example for all them rappers that think that rap is about the money and the beef. They kick that knowledge to all and they trying to bring back hip-hop as we use to know it. All 50 is about is beef and making money. He was better under ground. That’s where he belongs. No ice, no paper, just straight rhymes that mean something. Bc
Posted by nasbitch1
I'm just hear to add that beef is a part of hip hop, some of the most lyrical venom from mcs have come from beefs, tracks like hit em up by 2pac, ether by nas, girls by eminem, they want war by dmx are up their with pure lyrical art . But when some certain mcs like 50 make it into a gimmick to sell records it just takes the life outta it. Glad this beef has ended though, the way they splintered was nasty and the 2 kings of new york uniting is only good for the game.
Posted by LyricalExaminer
I think it's good for jay and naz to try to end the beefs going on in the rap game but big head dudes like 50 isn't for it. He wants more fame and wants his name to be out so he will start beef so that his name is out and hes being acknowledged. I really like 50 and i feel his music but him starting beef and being so arrogant and nasty about people makes me dislike 50. He sets no good example for kids that listens to him and that looks up to him he sets no good example for his son and thats my opinion.

Glad to hjay n nas come together and unite and bring nyc back alive.. The reason nyc rap was falling apart was everyone was switchin sides. Nas n jay unite wit lox, puffy, beans great look, as for fiffty let the dude make his cash the way he knows hes always start drama be4 a album drop hes very consistent in that matter. Lets just hope nas and jay take it back to 93 - 97 hip hop 1 love

Docv, you are a F*ckn child, and you don't know what the F*ck you're talking about! prophets was always apart of rappers make up before hiphop even left the new york borders, dumb ass! years went by in new york with prophet like mc's long before watts knew what the F*ck hiphop was! so shut the F*ck up, you F*ckn idiot!

To all who say that hip hop is based on beef don’t know anything about mc’s and the hip hop world. 2puc started out his career talking about the hood and how people are leaving not about beef. Yeah he had beef but who doesn’t. He didn’t spend all his time talking about it like 50. That sh*t is stupid. What’s real is the sh*t that goes on in the world. That’s what people need to be hearing.

"we had words but the best is suppose to clash at the top"- nas. I imagined for almost 6 yrs how hot it would be for the best to collaborate and take over the culture. Jigga and nas are by far 2 of most realist mc's our culture has ever seen. Their voices influence and guides hip-hop, they are the dream that martin had, and they define the plan that malcolm set. 2 young black men practicing restraint, compassion, and love for something greater than themselves this is what the true function of hip-hop is suppose to be; and the symbolism of the “i declare war” concert will be remembered 4 ever. This is the best day in hip-hop and i thank god for our culture

I just want everyone to always remember that nas won that battle!!! jay-z was eitherd but besides that...i glad that sh*t was squashed, i wish i was there!!!
Posted by TheGully
First off, jay and nas comen together is one of the biggest things to happen to music since pac died. 50 is an idiot but you all know you had get rich or die trying. Jay and nas do not need to beef wit 50 cuz 50 has murdered himself wit piggybank. 50 does have tony yayo, lloyd banks' young buck, olivia, m.o.p., murda ma$e, mobb deep, lil scrappy, and kool g rap. And has problems wit d-block, terror squad, game, the regime, dipset, and basically roc a fella dey just don't admit it. Jay-z stopped all dis bullsh. People thought he would jump in too but he fooled us and showed us a new light. So stay hyphy. And get on my hype, yadada mean!!
Posted by dmo187
The sounds of '93 will be reborn or re-visisted soon with the union of nas and hov it's about time they stood-up and take full control of the game again. Im so tired of these lacking food for thought's mc's to see these dudes come on and eat and not pay homage is sickening. This is great now all these kids can see how it's supposed to be done. All we can do now is sit back and wait breifly before some unidated fire from these two hit the streets...
Posted by Don Mega G
Docv, you a dump ass Bia'ch. Hip hop is about the music and it always will be. It’s mother F*ckers like you that try and change that, then we got weak ass Bia'chs like 50 trying take over the rap game and still hating the world. You a Bia'ch you don’t know sh*t. Bc
Posted by nasbitch1
Just one song together and it's over this is what really the game has been missing. It's time for this down south bull to come to an end and true lyricist to step up.
Posted by ECOMPLEX
It is about time, it was fun while it lasted but they both are grown and i think this new alliance is sending a strong message to the world. It's a new day, time to wake up.
Posted by mrsscarter
Hey, i'm ready for some more grown up hip hop. I love it. Not to hate on all southern rappers, 'cause some of them are okay. But, for the most part- most of them sound like they were in special ed. Classes- the lack of pronunciation and enunciation, coupled with thoughtless and empty lyrics are not impressive at all.
Posted by b more careful
The whole beef thing was skilled, but its about time it ended, especially since it started becoming gimicky. What's more, it projected a distorted image of the world's greatest artform. The only way to cancel out the effect of rubbish hiphop is to have new cats on the scene all about lyrical artistry. Love to jay and nas.
Posted by martymart
Ok ... It's all about the $$$$... First jigga could not even be on nas's level and second nas had already said a long time ago it's a done deal. 50 cent to a dollar please that's history shot 9 x's and can still talk some sh*** .. That's history right there... Again it's about your dollars not there words. Keep it coming-
Posted by therealtruth
Nas and jj evans sharing the same stage and not battling? anybody else gotta problem with that? tell me nas ain't going out like that. So was the artistic conflict between two of the biggest names in rap all just turn out to be a marketing ploy (leaving stillmatic, ether, last real n*gga alive and so on meaningless)? if this turns out to be the first step of nas signing with the evil empire under jigga-who, that would contradict damn near everything i thought nas and his music stood for. I am as big a nas backer as they come (personally, all things considered, the greatest lyricist of all time). It would be a dangerous strike against good rap music if nas were to sign with def jam, the label responsible for, with some exceptions, so much bad music over the past decade. Is nas that broke? you can't keep these huge egos in the same camp and still keep up a high standard of music... And for what? to take on curtis jackson and his second rate rap gang, the latest trl pop gimick? is it to late for me to start a keep nasir jones real foundation? i really hope that all these rumors and nothing more than speculation. Competition is good for the game, any game.

F**k 50, nas and hov, both kings
Posted by samthaman
No nas is the king. When you gona realise dat. Fair enough yeah this is history and i can see some big tuens being made by these two artists. But nas runs hip hop. 50 can make music but to big headed time his career was ended like ja rules. Nasir jones-escobar-gods son braaaaavehearts. Holla at me
Posted by realest
Nas is the king... We know he won.. Dont get me wrong jay is nice but nas is the g.o.a.t.... Biggie dont got lyrics like nas..lets keep it real.. Im happy as F*ck to see thewm together finally..if they put out some songs its gonna be real nice.. Dont sleep on the game tho...murdered g-unit.. I would like to see a jay nas and game diss on 50.. I dont want game to beef with jay no more..that would just give 50 cent more satisfaction.. Nas is stillmatic..
Posted by nasDisciple
Nas is the realest
Posted by nasDisciple
Man, that’s good business. There is hope i see. Sometimes wishes do come true. First michael jordan, now this. Nas and jigga man on the same stage. Somebody wake me, cuz’ i’ve got to be dreaming. I believe that the better man is the one who makes the first move. And i really appreciate and understand the new phrase, “get yo’ grown man on.” these guys are growing up, and it’s lovely to see. Black unity, something so old but so new. 50 cent is a misunderstood guy. He’s still young that’s all. Maybe a good spanking will do him some good.

Amen to that -- nobody will say this to 50's face -- but the thing is everything people is saying about him is the reason why is rich -- you can say what you want and hate all you want but you will still go cop his album if anything to hear who he will diss next -- hate it or love it --- he got yo money !!!
