no it was Nas. Jay & Nas were throwing shots at each throughout their career but at this time it was serious. Jay's 'They Shootin, nobody dying' is a reference to Nas's track 'Made You Look' which Nas says, "They shootin, oh made you look, you a slave to a page in my rhyme book".

psr334 they hate him cause of his cocky attitude. Idk why cause if I was that great I'd be cocky too
