maybe i'm wrong, but battling is when artists go back and forth with each other, more than once. Jay did a freestyle replying to what was said about him. I don't think that's battling. Now, if those artists make records dissing him, and then he disses them again, yeah, now we are moving towards battling.
Aside from Ja and a few other rappers, when 50 made How to Rob, some replied and that was it. Was that considered a battle?
This is what I've been screaming. It's not a battle. You can diss someone (or in this case, respond to disses) without it being a battle. Everyone he addressed have been dissing him on podcasts, twitter, and/or record for some time now thinking he wouldn't respond because Jay is passed this part of his life. Anyone who caught a shot said something about him (Nicki, Drake, Oschino, Dame, Jag) or did something to him (Buzzbee) first.
