Big Pun brought it to Jay! It was in club Exit, before it was called Exit...it was Carbon....Jay was supposed to perform that night but after the altercation he left. Even when Dehaven was trying to expose Jay-Z he brought up how they (Dash & Jay) confided in him on what to do about the fresh beef. The rift between Terror Squad and Jay-Z has been documeted and confirmed. Jay and Joe have been at it a long time beefin, "subliminally". Remember the Fat Joe line; "He's alright but he's not real". Jay-Z dissed them on that DJ CLUE album "Who Shot Ya? Freestyle; "send shot's like toma (doma?)".

*He wasn't dissng them on Mind Right that was some guy from Harlem named Meeno.

AllHipHop: One thing that just came up today, Nas apparently has a response to Jay Z’s "The Takeover" on his upcoming album, which implicates you and Pun and includes the lyrics: "Call yourself gangsta but you were begging for pardon that night in Carbon when Terror Squad flipped on your squadron tried to front on their checks till Pun put a gun to your chest."

*This was on the mixtape version of ether... supposedly fat joe told nas to take it out...

Fat Joe: We gotta hear it but damn, what a way to put me right in the middle of the beef huh? We don’t comment on that, that's old news. Like I said all the negative energy all that s*** you can throw that out the window.
Nas is crazy. No question that we are allies with Nas Escobar. We love Nas. I almost named my son after Nas. As far as him and Jay Z with the beef: that’s they stuff. Until somebody tries to involve me in that sh*t, that’s it. I ain’t got no problem with the whole Rocafella. It’s well documented. Everybody keeps trying to get me to talk about that sh*t in every interview. Why don’t they ask Jay Z that stuff? I read his interveiws, nobody asks him. If you interview him, ask him.

Lost Bars to "Ether".

Nas spits the second verse of Ether with some different lines, and then the song cuts off.

"I was leading the race, as a child pops blew his weed in my face
Results: Mixing ether with base
I've been f*cked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten
Yo the hope that I'd be gone by now, stiff and rotten
Tried to p*** on me, spit on me, sh*t on my grave
Talk about me behind me back but in my face
Y'all some well wishin, friendly actin, envy hidin snakes
Hope your b*tch fix your grub with her period blood
It takes more than what you got to kill me,
I'm on a war path, eternal, external a 50 sack fills me
The one you think that hates you, loves you
Notice, it's always the ones that's closest that try to slug you
Art of deception, oh glorious lord I got some stories to make your hair stand
Secrets between...me and a dead man
Who died knowing, we planned to cut another's life short
Slit the enemy's throat and cut his f*cking mic off
Place it in his grill, hatred is my world, it is my mirror
Blessed is the child that see the ghetto more clearer
For federal indictments, supreme court subpeonas
Who was close as we was, you let it come between us.

*50 cent and Big Pun had beef once the song "How 2 Rob" came out. This is also the song that catapulted 50 into mix of things.

This beef has all the makings of a Bobby Fisher Speed Chess match with Curtis Jackson monitoring the clock. I find it very interesting that Jay-Z goes at DJ Kahlid because Kahlid and Rick Ross are eating together. This is very well thought out on the part of Jay-Z and 50 cent in my opinion. No other media outlets even mention the New diss record "He Asked for it" or feature it in there audio sections...Humm....Jae Hood also claims to have dirt on Jada about how he did Fat Joe dirty but Joe don't know. Even Uncle Murda says in the above mentioned song that him and 50 is cool (same management also "Violator"). I think this plays out by Jay and 50 trying to corner the market just in time for both of their respective albums to drop. This is going to be interesting because the bait has been set, and with a name like "FAT JOE" how in the hell you gonna resist free food.
