Could Jay Z survive 'Ether' in a Twitter age?
How u find a camel in a karate class?It would prob def add a lot of meme fuel to the fire.
people overrate the impact of twitter in the drake/meek beef
memes didnt smoke meekdrake did
and hov is the original meme man anyway
Well NAS possibly could've been FINISHED in the twitter age if he waited months to comeback at JAY..especially with no leaks.
Not to mention JAY was/is beloved so it would be millions of dikkriders ready to crown him winner ASAP. If Takeover were released on a Tuesday , Memes would have NAS finished and dikkriding corporations would be siding with JAY and probably give NAS the defeat by Friday if he didn't bring some ETHER.
I was a Jay, at the time and i agree.
That was so digusting watching these vampires all in our culture riding w Aubrey.

Yall nikkas forgetting today's rap game is infested with hipster Cacs, SJW and feminists who wanna tone moderate what's said by major artists. Corporations wouldnt go near Ether because its chalk full of blatant homophobic remarks. Yall nikkas forgot that just this year "hip hop mag" Complex ran a mad as hell article about Meek calling Game a fakkit?
Ether would get the streets but there'd be a backlash against it from Cac media & their surrogates online.
That was the one thing I give that nikka Drake credit for with Back 2 Back he made a catchy diss song full of the kind of condescending humor Cacs love & he didnt put much in there for SJW to get mad about, hence the corporate support.

Good point, people today expect a response in 24 hours
Ether rollout was perfect with the 3 month wait and being on his next album
All Nas would've had to do was two things
1). Expose Jay for the lifelong Fan of Nas that he was while simultaneously exposing the blatant biting
2). Drop it on Jay's birthday
shyt would've been a WRAP now just as it was then. Remember Meek Mill's fatal mistake was having Twitter fingers, talking ALL that shyt behind a computer and then dropping the most mediocre diss song of the present era. People tend to forget that Nas didn't wait "months" to respond to Jay-Z. Jay-Z did Summer Jam and ENDED with "Ask Nas He Don't Want It With Hov!". Then Nas responded on wax with Stillmatic Freestyle, which wouldn't been enough to keep the convo going. Then in September Jay dropped the full version of Takeover. Nas is notoriously low key. He wouldn't have been on Twitter, Instagram, none of that shyt. The internet could've made jokes but everyone would've known from Stillmatic Freestyle that Nas had it in him...and then BOOM. December 4th, ETHER.

Still in denial
Wow 15 year anniversary. Happy to say I was there when it happened.

00000000000000000000000000013727we could argue nas after takeover before ether would have been long done if twitter etc.. was around
that was the general feeling as is back then lol
i mean i magine not just fans but celebrities tweeting about it
would have been such spark to make all types of beef it would have been insane
it gets outta hand now lol
but on the real i dont think neither of them would have been done
as long as the album/music is solid your good
if they would have dropped duds after then yea would have been bad
but back then i was 21 when it went down and even now at 36 i simply dont see anyone being able to "end" either
i mean since it comes up commercially
look at the numbers back then
the beef actually made jay more popular and increased his sales going forward and he became larger than he ever was
it lifted nas sales for a little also
right now they are both kinda rresting back in the same spots they were prior ironically lol
also lets stop spreading the lie of ether dropped on jay birthday
kayslay played the record over thanksgiving thats november for the slow
also ether was never released as a promo or single
there is a bootleg/white label pressing but thats it
this entire thing started on the nasforums i use to run back in the day and its crazy that the lie is still going lol
like if ya wanna celebrate a false holiday cool
but at least know the facts lol
