Charlamagne: Ether was corny

[spliz]

u couldnt have been following rap in 2000-2001

Nas just came off a damn near 2x platinum album before Stillmatic..was doing mad features on hit singles with other artists..nikka took maybe a 6 month hiatus and thats struggling?..

@thecacmamba take the L son

 

[seemorecizzy]

Yooo will you jay Stan's stop trying to give jay this imaginary W with this "better song" crap

You guys are reaching for the moon. Talking about takeover had better structure and shyt, wtf

The song is a DISS record
You can seperate the two it makes no sense

Nas's diss record is better than jay''s diss record. End of story

Ayo 2nd round knockout is better diss record than the ripper strikes back but the ripper strikes back had 3 three verses and had a chorus so it's the better song


Dats how dumb y'all sound with that shyt

 

[prophecypro]

Are we really doing this again? Even Nas has moved on.
You can debate all day but the general consensus was Nas won that battle. All this "won the war" because Jay went on to be successful in his own right or revisionist stuff is played out. Both had childish aspects and facts that were sharp.

i dont see the albums

naS got one album worthy of even being mentioned with the Gawd Lu... and on that album are the absolute worst lyrics of all time in "nacho cheese I'm Castro"

 

[Higher Tech]

Part of me hates that this still comes up, and another part of me loves that I was around in the heat of all of these great hip hop crews going at it for the top spot.

It was a golden era brehs. The only thing thats gonna stop is from talkin about it is another golden era. And since thats not happening its good to remember the good times.

More than a decade later and you old ass nikkas still getting in ya'll feelings over this

[the cac mamba]

. and on that album are the absolute worst lyrics of all time in "nacho cheese I'm Castro"

not to mention the fact that youve ignored the breakdown a hundred times not your money (castro kept it-communist)

 

[Kings County]

i agree i been saying that for years shyt was mad whack

 

[The Dust King]

Nas just came off a damn near 2x platinum album before Stillmatic..was doing mad features on hit singles with other artists..nikka took maybe a 6 month hiatus and thats struggling?..

by the way songs were droppin he really didnt take any haitus

the gap between the firm and I am was much larger

 

[the cac mamba]

just wanted to add two things:

can you retards stop saying the albums were "due"? they were doo (shyt), not fukkin library books



@ 3:33 why would jay need to prepare for a rapper "on that level" if nas wasnt being mentioned at all

 

[Blackking]

.

But i aint gonna rewrite history so fukk it...Ether is the winner

Yes.
and at the end of the day it's music- in a genre that was built on exaggeration.
At the end of the day Nas won because of skill and timing...

if facts only won - underground artist would be multiplat in the 90's n shyt....

 

[TNC]

if nas never sold out on iww.
jay never draws and is stuck in the same limbo from original flavor and pisspoor quality features from bdk, to mix Geronimo = nas Jr.
only, reason jay is on is because of nas.
as, even the mic geronimo piss poor feature proves as well.
nas, terraformed the ability for commercial sellout artist to draw who had technical aptitude rapping.
plus, made it so you had to have some credible level of technical aptitude to draw in that time as well.
