Could Jay Z survive 'Ether' in a Twitter age?

Where's Azealia Banks, breh? :booklol:
In before "She didn't have a career to begin with" :yousure:
The combination of Is That Your Chick speculation and Takeover would have ended Nas. That plus Jay was an industry giant. TMZ would've been running up on Nas. Dame would have been talking greasy. Jay had just down Summer Jam with MJ. Nas would be called homophobic for that gay z shyt, etc. Takeover would be top 20 on the billboard charts with streaming. Nas might have been done.

I feel like the Jay-z lines would have prompted more memes and instagram jokes.

maybe if you combine takeover and supa into one record. takeover is a bunch of jays opinions that his stans laud as facts

Could nas survive Jay and Carmen's relationship in this era?If Twitter was popping back then, would Jay still be around after the onslaught of Twitter fueled by a track as vicious as Ether?
Nas did like half of what Stillmatic did 1 year later, Jay did about the same numbers i.e. he maintains a consistent fanbase, which makes it hard to "kill him". At the end of the day, the twitter/ig beef thing is all about # of fans and specially how many corny fans you have. Now Nas might have a lot of corny fans (still living like they are IllWill affiliates in 2001 on the coli) but that's probably not enough. You need that Drake, Beyonce etc levels of fans.
If Drake wasn't a person who does a million first week, he couldn't have murked Meek like he did. Same with 50 and everyone he was beefing with 10 years ago. Dame Dash would probably be on Kardashian levels on social media back then, shytting out 10 memes with a million likes everyday. Beans and them would run around and rob Nas's crew members and put it on WSHH. Knowing Jay's ways he would probably have signed True-Life earlier just for the attention
fukking insane lots of em
Personally, this thread feels more about Nas surviving than Jay. Imagine a twitter beyhive full of Jay Z The Blueprint era fans.

I'm a bigger jay fan than nas but back then I was fully supportive of nas fukking jay up. If nas didn't get jay, it would have been a bully winning I feel. Cause nas was hurting at that time and the industry was on jay dikk.

"Ether" is a bunch of tall tales and and name-calling. In "Takeover" Jay Z broked down the career of Nas to a simple math problem (albeit one that applies to himself also)
You said you've been in this 10, I've been in it 5 - smarten up, Nas
4 albums in 10 years, nikka?I could divide
That's one every...let's say 2
2 of them shyts was due
1 was "nah," the other was Illmatic
That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average
Show me one poignant line from "Ether" . . go ahead, I'll wait
