In the upcoming issue of XXL Jay-Z opens up about his career parallels to Michael Jordan and his short lived drama with 2Pac in 1996. Here is the excerpt:
“I reference Jordan because he had similar stories. He said that he felt cheated when he got to the league and Larry Bird and Magic were leaving. I feel like that. I be like, “Damn, I wonder what it would be like with Big and Pac and everybody here.” The worst I’ve heard was that I wouldn’t be who I am if Big and Pac was here. That’s God given talent. You can’t…
And that would have been interesting too, how that would’ve played out with me and Pac. Because I wasn’t where I am now. It would’ve went down, it was a collision course, 100%. I knew some people out West and they told me about the [Makaveli] song. It hadn’t dropped yet, but was on the way. I had my record ready. I shelved it out of the utmost respect, but it was coming.
I performed it one time only at Apollo over ‘No Diggity.’ No one has that tape. They usually tape the Apollo shows, but they had just stopped taping for some reason. We tried to find the tape. It’s 2,000 people that know about it. I did two verses. It’s the truth, that’s the best shit. It’s so liberating, when you say what the fuck you wanna say .”
For those of you who didn't even know they had beef, I'll fill you in. At the height of the East/West beef and the height of Pac's paranoia, he went at any NYC rappers who sided with Biggie or basically said anything he didn't like in regards to the beef. Jay-Z was one of those rappers who was called out on Bomb First (and also on a couple unreleased tracks).

Man i hate that prick.

I got this from thugz network.

lol at Jay-Z really thinking he's the Jordan of hip hop.

Anyway, I heard this article was fake and that this article never came out in the November issue. I could be wrong but it's whatever.

After reading this, I now wish Pac went ahead and kept his Jay-Z diss on hitemup so we could hear what Jay-Z's response would sound like so early in his career.

But the thing is that Jay-Z wouldn't hold a chance to 2Pac back then. It could've been a career ending beef for him. But at the same time, it could've boosted his career early on in the game if he dissed Pac right. But no matter what, for Jay-Z to go at 2Pac back then was still a risky move.

Let me add that btw this is old news. And Jay-Z still dissed 2Pac after his death anyway, so it shows what type of man Jay-Z is.

That alone is pathetic.

But he now comes out and says he has done some diss record before and but didn't release it because he had respect for pac(well you should),thats cowardice.If it wasn't meant to be heard in the first place,than it doesn't need to be talked about at all especially after the mans death.

Jay-z sucks.and im not saying that because 2Pac had beef with him(Nas is probably my favorite living rapper).He has a shit voice and delivery.He is a decent lyricist.He has released 2 near classic albums imo and a load of rubbish.

This is bullshit. SO what if Jay Z dissed Pac when he was alive? At least he has the balls to admit it. Every other artist cops hate on this forum for giving props to Pac or shouting him out in songs, they get called dickryders or chastised for attempting to bite his style. Jay was running with Biggie...it makes sense. Stop hating.
