"1 hot album every ten year average" more than anything nas said.
yea, except that it wasnt true :stopitslime:

i am was pretty much equal to half of jays albums at that time, and it was written could go up against any jay cd ever

obv jay had the hot singles on lock tho, no one would argue that

When ether dropped I was like :krs: :whew: But as I got older I realized that Nas had a lot of lowkey wack lines that now leave me like :rudy:
This ain't a Nas dis, he's in my top list of emcees of all time. But Nas essentially gave back all the momentum to Jay after appearing to win the battle.

Nas signed to Def Jam when Jay was presi. Not a good move. Especially since Jay was smashin Carmen. That's real life shyt that went beyond the battle.

Nas may have won the battle, but Jay seemingly won the war

I don't understand this line of thinking....

About the Nas signing with Def Jam...uh...that is because Jay pursued Nas to sign with Def Jam...to me that is some stalker, wacko, rabbit in the pot shyt...this dude Nas has embarrassed you...this dude nas has turned the word ether into something iconic...like the bat symbol...off if your name...then Nas just moved past the shyt...so in the end it wasn't even a big deal to him...after a few weeks he was just like "yeah whatever I responded to him it's over..." And years later Jay is still following this dude around trying to sign him? Like...what...why? Why would you want anything to do with a dude who embarrassed you like that? Only an obsessed Nas stan could be that much of a glutton for punishment...

About the Carmen thing...uh...that was nas baby momma...not girlfriend...not wife...baby momma...do people not know what a baby momma is? A baby momma is a woman a man has a kid by, but the man does not want to be with that woman for whatever reason...so somehow jay is being seen as pulling a power move by having sex with nas baby momma...where the very definition of her being a baby momma implies that nas did not want to be with her anymore...so now jay is getting credit for having sex with a chick that another man didn't want to have a relationship with? This always struck me as creepy to...cause it has been will documented that Carmen states that all Jay wanted to talk about was Nas when they were together...

Jay knows the taste of Nas' dikk through her Carmen. I bet there have been ZERO daughters named Carmen since Ether dropped.

Funny, no one has mentioned the 2 bar flow that Nas used from biggie I thought I was the only one to hear it so I added it to Rap genius.

Pretty subtle. Most won't even realise.
