Jay-Z originally performed the first two verses of Takeover as an untitled diss to Prodigy of Mobb Deep at Hot 97's Summer Jam 2001. The song also interpolates David Bowie's " Fame". The first line in this song is taken from Jay Z's verse in "Celebration" off of the Streets Is Watching soundtrack. It samples the song " Five to One" by the Doors and " Sound of da Police" by KRS-One. This song was the first official LP diss track to publicize directly the hip hop feud between Jay Z and Nas (although there exists several other rap records prior to this featuring disses from both Nas and Jay Z toward each other).
