Jay-Z and Nas had one of the biggest musical rivalries in the past.

Eminem took out Ja Rule in many songs after the feud started. I can only imagine the mental exhaustion it all had on Em to fight back. And he says he was drained after the dust settled. Eminem was so caught up in the feuds it almost seemed like he started the beef. But in reality, he never started any of them. But in the end, it got so personal that it felt like Em started them. Eminem says he is not in Hip Hop to murder each other. He is an amazing lyricist-he knows that he wants to use it for better things than talk smack about fellow artists.

However, he could be talking about other artists who have died before such as Tupac, The Notorious B. G, and Bugzz.

Eminem is an artist who has done a huge service to the genres of rap and hip hop. We can consider him a pioneer in mainstreaming Hip Hop and Rap.

So why would he want to destroy it? Suge Knight is just trouble. Dre and what a fierce man he is. So Em was careful enough to leave him out of all his musical career as Eminem was working with Dr. Dre at the time. Had Eminem tried to help Dre at the time, he would be merely as a toy soldier. The last part of the first verse describes the beef with Suge Knight and Dr.

Dre and how Eminem faced it all. Had Eminem been called out, he probably would have gotten into a pretty ugly beef with Suge. But for some reason, both parties stayed out of their ways. Eminem was working with Dr. Dre when the feud between Dre and Suge escalated. But it all started before Eminem. Even Dre had told Em to stay out of it, so he did. Dre cleared the path for Eminem to be a global phenomenon. Eminem has shown his gratitude to Dre on many occasions because of this. So it hurt him to see Suge Knight taking shots at Dre.

The feud between Dre and Suge was all business. It was mainly about Dr. Dre walking out was a huge loss for Suge business-wise.

Dre formed the Aftermath record label afterward and later signed in Eminem on it. But things have escalated now. The rich artists are also powerful and do not stop at anything to settle their beef offstage. So gotta be careful of what you put in the lyrics.

This bit talks about the beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule. When Ja took shots at 50 in the beginning, Dre and Em sat down with 50 Cent and calmed him down, and asked him not to go after him.

And even Eminem was like ef it, let him have it. So both of them murdered the career of Ja Rule.
