'Superugly' was some feminine ass chickenhead, 'I fukked ya man boo' trash that was rightfully ignored and ridiculed. It almost served as a support to ether in that in aligned with Nas' assertion that Jay was a stan of his, and so desperate to be connected with his idol, that he was even resorting to dealing with the women of his past. Who cares if Jay smashed some chick that Nas stopped messing with??? He even dragged Nas' young daughter into it, and did it in a sexual and vulgar context (condoms on a baby seat...really?). Jay looked like a stalker nicca basket case.

it was a battle and nas made it personal. as u said, takeover was based on music. nas felt shytted on and he knew he couldnt win by keeping it at that level so he went with the disses and got personal, so jay stooped down to that same level and shytted on him again. you can feel a certain way about it and i will even agree to some extent, but nas took it there first.

Did you want Jay to say Illmatic was the greatest album of all time on a Nas diss record?

He didn't have to, he's already admitted it on wax :sas2:

But that's what made it worse, an album he praised and an artist he has praised all of a sudden was wack and had a weak catalogue? :huh:

Jay was doomed at the start of all this. His approach was all wrong

I'm sorry but once you start supporting yourself and none of these nikkas are looking to help you that shyt should cease. :pachaha:. I get teenagers in mom's basement or dorm rooms when it dropped acting like that and I get dudes like Bleak who owe so much to Jay acting like that but a grown ass man with no connection to this situation standing stronger than Jay himself is just :snoop:.
this is lowkey hilarious

memphis bleak :dead:

As far as Char goes, I think when people say that 'Takeover' was full of facts, I think they really mean to say that Jay took a more noble approach by largely focusing on music and Nas' disappointing career up to that point (and he was right about that at the time 'cause Nas was falling off), while Ether's sole intent was to humiliate Jay in almost every way (and Nas succeeded). Both records are loaded with opinion and hearsay.

I totally agree with the first part. That song is more of a diss to Carmen and Jay himself than anyone else.

I gotta disagree with the second part though. People come with that facts bullshyt in order to try to change the discussion and take away from the impact of "Ether". There is nothing noble about literally trying to revise history and hinting at what he went on to describe in great detail in "Superugly".

what was factual in takeover??
in Jersey nas "I am" is a hood classic...that's pretty much the case in any city in the east

when was Nas ever not mentioned in a top 10 back then

only thing I could see and it's not even a fact is the bodyguard verse being better on oochie wally

i could flip that logic on u.

if u playing the dozens with a dude and u got the whole crowd dying at your jokes about his looks and stuff like that and he counters with "i fukk yo momma tho" and its true, then u lost. even if he didnt get the same crowd reaction, u gonna walk home like ":to: damn momma wtf"

Theres a difference, Nas dismantled and picked apart Jay Z's whole existence in little more than than 1 verse.

He proved a case why jay z would never be better than him. and it rally knocked him off a pedestal.

Jay Z came back and said I fukked a girl you used to fukk are you mad:smile:

Questioning a persons integrity and sexuality and hinting at the fact that you fukked his baby mom's isn't personal? :heh:

:manny: i stand corrected i was going off by what bammer said. its been a long time since i listened. however his attacks were either true or based off people's perception of him. nas fell off drastically and jay attacking him is the only thing that made him relevant again to anybody outside of nas stans
