Jay-z vs Nas . Both albums dropped in 1998. It was their 3rd album. Both had similar themes and DMX as a guest star. Both had major hits. Which album was better?

    I read an article that the beat for "Hate Me Now," was originally for Foxy Brown. She didn't like it. So Nas picked it up and the rest is history.

    This is where I think people slept on Hov lines the most. Vol 2 has more replay value to me. I Am is easily forgettable.

    That bootleg of I AM was amazing. If it would had came out like that, it would had been a classic and one of the top double albums.
