Ok lemme break down the science of Ether since some just dont get why it effected Jay so hard. Like I said on the surface it seemed like so childish name calling but let take a deeper look at it. Now Im not talking about who had the better record but the effects it had on both MCs
Jay rises to the top of NY Hip Hop & self proclaims himself the God MC plus NYs King. A lot of artist takes offense to that..
Jay drops the Takeover basically saying that I will not lose & sets out to destroy Nas & Prodigy
Saying Nas was washed up and trash. Needing to stop dropping knowledge and switch up and sellout just like he did
Jay finally admits this on BP2 I dumb down to double my dollars Jay-Z hence Nas You sold your soul for riches how can you dispute this when Jay admits it himself.
Blueprint drops with a classic rating so Jay is on top of the world. Dropping personal songs like Song Cry where he basically admits that girls called him ugly until he got money. This shows the deep he has behind that treatment. Nas Were you abused as a child scared to smile they called you ugly & You think you getting girls because of your looks These are childhood scars Jay has
That hurt dude or he wouldnt have mentioned it in Song Cry & it explains his treatment of woman slash Carmen issue Nas said her weakness was shine
.Again Nas uses Jay against himself. Jay feels underappreciated in Heart of the City wants people to like him but they chose Nas..
This is the point Im making, after Jay thru everything but the kitchen sink at Nas, NY still chose Nas over him and his ego couldnt take it so he stooped to a new low. Super Ugly Now all men know the one thing you dont do is go around running you mouth about who you f*ckin otherwise its considered the ultimate ho shyt. Plus it was his ex so come on youre bragging about getting someones leftovers? That was a desperate move by Jay and no one bought it. Carmen is a individual and was acting on her own. Being a trifling ho. Hence Nas Thats her I aint mad baby it made me stronger now I get my paper longer Nas completely dismissed it as nothing because it was more to Jay than it was to him.
Yes Jay is rich but he lost his mojo in that battle & found himself battling nobodies like Cam to feel good about himself again. The Roc broke up & he married a woman who only wants him for his money plus fell off big time lyrically with the exception of AG. Meanwhile Nass career has only gone up and hes still dropping knowledge and carrying the torch for NY hip-hop without selling out. Hes still your favorite rapper favorite rapper because you cant hate on substance. Jay will never be revered that way & he knows it. NY chose and it said Jay lost
WHat kind of rooting for the underdog breakdown shyt is this??
AGain I have to ask..are u dumb?
What Jay said in that line is what every artist does, he just the first to admit it
Its crazy how much you're reaching saying that that line where Jay tells Nas to switch up his flow is about selling out.
No dummy its about a nikka who couldnt make hits, a nikka who's flow was ehhh, stop reaching to somehow justify Nas being a damn loser his whole life outside of one diss track.
Jay married a woman who only wants him for his money????
What in God's name did you just say..
A woman who is richer than Jay married Jay for his money?? DF are u sayin breh?
Dude face the cold facts.. NAS FAILED IN THE RAP GAME...when I say fail I mean failed to reach the heights Jay did.
Simple and plain..not only that Jay beat Nas in everything u can think of
More money, the better broad, the better rap career, more critical acclaim, etc.
And you're still trying to say Nas somehow escaped this L..this ultimate L??
My nikka you have to be the most delusional Nas stan I have ever seen on this board
Nas and Jay are both in the rap game...both were in the same lane..
Jay just knew how to make better art than Nas..and you can try and argue but the people have already decided that.
Now I bet you're like "blah blah he's talkin about everything but rap"
Partly...but thats just to show that Ether superficial disses didnt stick
The people said he lost so he felt like he lost..so which is why he reacted the way he did.
Vulgarity seemed to be what put disses over so dnt be crying bout Jay bringing up the baby moms issue.
At the end of the day...Nas lost overall...he can keep his stupid underdog meaningless victory
While Jay Z is attaining more and more victories every year
shyt just think bout this
Nas' image is soo bad that a nikka like Gucci feels like he can come at him in the aspect of success
But ya as long as you Nas stans admit that Hov won where it mattered and that you're just desperate for a victory from your pathetic underdog rapping nikka that you have to keep referring back to an 11 year old diss track, then I'll leave yall alone
