Jay-Z - I Declare War Concert(Hova & Nas Squash Beef)(MU, 1-link)FREE DOWNLOAD

Monday, January 26, 2009



On October 27, 2005 Jay was also joined by the Lox, Diddy, Sauce Money, LeBron James, Kanye West, T.I., Paul Wall, Young Jeezy, Swizz Beats, Akon, Peedi Peedi (formerly known as Peedi Crakk), GLC, Ne-Yo and Tiearra Mari. As he had previously "declared war" on other artists taking lyrical shots at him at other events, many believed that the Powerhouse show would represent an all-out assault by Jay-Z upon his rivals. However, an anticipated response to subliminal shots taken by The Game and Cam'ron never materialized. At the conclusion of the concert, Jay-Z put many arguments to rest to the surprise of hip-hop fans. Instead of declaring war, he declared that he was the "United Nations of this rap sh*t". The most significant development in this show was closure to the infamous hip hop rivalry between Jay-Z and Nas. The two former rivals shook hands and shared the stage together to perform Jay-Z's "Dead Presidents" blended with Nas's song "The World is Yours" from which "Dead Presidents" had sampled the vocals on the chorus. Nas's verses were rapped over the "Dead Presidents" beat in the vein of a mix song done by DJ Statik Selektah. Nas also performed songs of his own later in the show.
