Many of you may not know, but Busta, Jay-Z and the late Biggy Smalls all attended the same high school in Brooklyn. Busta revealed in an interview with Sway of MTV News that he and Jay-Z once battled in their high school cafeteria. So, I know you guys are wondering "WHO WON?" Here's what Busta said on MTV "Rapfix Live":
“One day, somebody came up to me and was like, ‘Yo, Hov is in the cafeteria,’ ” Busta Rhymes told MTV News’ Sway. “They weren’t calling him Hov at the time; they were calling him Jay. ‘Do you want to step to him on some rhyme sh–?’ So I go. At the time, when we were rhyming, it was speed rap. That was the thing to do. I knew how to freak it, and he knew how to freak it. And at the time, he was so ill, ’cause of the people he was with at the time, Jaz-O and them, it was their thing [that style]. He kind of got the best of the situation. I got to give it up. He was so ill and his arsenal was so long that he had more than what I did. I spit my one rap, and my tank was empty real fast. He came with two or three after that, and I was like, ‘Here we go.’ But I gave it my best.”“That was probably the fist time that I lost a battle that mattered,” he said. “[Jay-Z] always exemplified greatness as an MC. He was a scientist with it.”
