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:

dismantled and picked apart his whole existence? really? last i checked jay is still around. only time i ever hear of nas is on the coli when the stans mention him.

How is Take Over facts when it's Jay's opinions on Nas' career? "faq Model" That's not a childish insult?
MC Search said Nas had his own publishing and Search never got a check for that sample.
1 Hot album when IWW is arguably better the Jay's best album?

When you are making fun of someone, don't you exaggerate to make shyt funny? I mean we all know Jay-Z doesn't have whiskers like a rat, but that shyt was funny cause he can't grow a mustache. :steviej:

Was he 36 in an actual Karate class? probably not :lolbron:


He was the same guy who called Prodigy a ballerina.

> talk about takeover vs ether in 2014 brehs
> try and rewrite history brehs

During that time Nas EASILY won the battle with that (whether he won the war is another story)
but I hate when nikkas constantly try and rewrite history like dawg get over it Takeover was dope, Ether was powerful as fukk, Super Ugly fell flat on it's face which made ether even more powerful

what youre suggesting is that he survived it. He did.

But that doesnt remove the fact that Nas exposed his whole comeup and persona.

so was Ether you gotta listen to the bars bro

ill admit i gotta freshen up. i dont even listen to rap anymore but the battle was at around the time when i was a huge fan so i have my opinions on this.

even still, they both said personal things, but what people consider the funniest parts of ether and the best lines are the jokes, which admittedly were very good. the parts of takeover and super ugly that people most remember were the cringe worthy disses based on how people felt about nas that nas took to heart cause he knew thats how he was seen.

no an exposure is what jay did to mobb deep who pretty much got their career ended by jay.

what nas did to jay was funny as was what jay did to nas but they are both actually goats and these disses didnt even put a dent in their careers. in nas' case the battle put him back on the map.

: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

How exactly did he fall off? I have never heard anything but good things about Illmatic, IWW, and I AM. People didn't start treating Nastradamus like the worst album in history until after than. It clearly wasn't his best album but that and that alone isn't indicative of a fall off. If he was no longer relevant then the battle isn't the big deal that it was and still is. Just him saying "Ask Nas he don't want it with Hov" before putting a verse down was huge. That doesn't happen with an irrelevant guy that has drastically fallen off.

exposing somebody doesnt have to end their career.

It just has to expose them. Ether did that.

he fell off in popularity but he never stopped being one of the best rappers out. jay knew that so he came at him to seal the deal and be king of ny so to speak. even tho the winner is still debated years later, the fact is jay couldnt put him away like he wanted, so in that sense i can see why nas fans will go to their grave saying he won. fact is tho, if jay had ignored nas he probably would have gone away silently. dropped a couple more nastradamus like albums and rode off into the sunset.

i wasnt specifically talking about takeover i was talking about the battle in general. people diss super ugly but that shyt was more etherous to nas' soul than ether was to jay's. a rich nikka doesnt care if u call him ugly or a fakkit or a camel but any nikka, rich or poor, is gonna feel salty when another dude tells the world he fukked your baby moms and its true :pachaha:

But...Jigs DID care about being called ugly, a faq and a camel. So the rest of what you said is moot.

its only a good exposure if it affects them in any way. ether was a hit but jay seemed to take it in stride. had a few more hit albums after that.

Ignored? Are you implying that Nas started this or something? Dudes were throwing shots at each other for years. The winner is only debated by the most ardent of Jay fans. Even Jay doesn't :mjlol:. I get it you are a Jay fan and that's fan. I won't get into arguing preference but some of what you said is just comically inaccurate and not based in reality.
