Quick to Back Down
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quick to Back Down is a crunk song produced by Lil Jon for the Bravehearts, consisting of Nas, Jungle (younger brother of hip hop star Nas) and Wiz. The chorus had Nas saying quick phrases in distaste of animosity towards anonymous rappers, followed by Lil Jon yelling "quick to back down!" The song was released in 2003, when the beef with Nas and Jay-Z was still brewing. Nas sent out a subliminal line to Jay-Z with the line "First of all this is Nas I'ma Braveheart veteran/and y'all already know who I'm better than." He also said "Who's the next label I'ma bury?/CEO's, rappers and A&R's go to the rap cemetery," which indirectly implies that of Roc-A-Fella. Overall, NaS as well as Wiz and Jungle rhyme with threating messages, with "Y'all talk shit but I smell fear, mothafuckas" at the end of the verses.
