They can, nothing wrong with that. But just like with Family Matters, the most militant Takeover fans rely on some ridiculous talking points that just aren't true.
"Takeover was facts, Ether was lies"
"Takeover is a real diss, Ether is a bunch of jokes"
"Ether didn't have any bars"
"The beat ruins the song"
All that shyt has been repeated ad nauseum by the Hovenger Defense Force - Guru, Clark Kent (RIP), Mal, etc. Like I said if you fukk with Takeover more, that's fine. But I'm not letting you get away with arguing Nas only had one good/hot album by 2001, or "you made it a hot line I made it a hot song" or the publishing duck tales. I know you know I'm right
@spliz lmao
And I feel the exact same way about Family Matters. It's the same type of arguments, where nikkas know they got cooked so they start whipping out legal technicalities. You say he out rapped Kendrick yet none of those amazing bars stuck. No one can deny that Takeover had some undeniable bars that people still quote today, regardless of the validity. Where's that for Family Matters? Drake has more memorable disses on that shyt aimed at Weeknd than Kenny. But because his camp is full of yes men nobody convinced him to focus on the ONE threat and ignore the sheep.
