Ether is fukking hilarious brehs.

[Dre Space Age]

Facts>>> made up bullshyt punchlines

The presentation > facts. What Nas did was some shyt Politicians do. You got a good presentation, you can sell anything.

Ether sold me on the idea that no nikka should ever step to Nas lyrically.

 

[Dre Space Age]

its not so much the words and truth from a hov critics perspective that makes ether so potent


Its the disdain Nas had while recordin this...like he really sounded disgusted that he really had to spend his time to hurt a nikka like that instead of focusing on just making an album.

on some "you did this to yourself jay" shyt

lmfaooooo Nas was disrespectful as fukk. I never heard that nikka sound so disrespectful before Ether. That shyt was total disdain. A lot of nikkas when they beef, they may try to say some mean shyt as if they want to kill a nikka or as if they're better than that nikka, but the way Nas did it, it was if he was wiping shyt from his ass, lyrically.

 

[Dre Space Age]

When the grass is cut the snakes will show I gotta thank the lil homie nas for that tho.

I got stronger after ether

Those lines right there are proof that Nas SONNED Jay z on ether. Jay changed everything after that. Pre ether and post ether check jay out and the people around him. Everything nas said on ether jay started doing the opposite.

Ether changed Jay-Z's life. Nas was unfazed by Takeover other than to show some disdain for the camel.

The consecutive amount of disses had me when that shyt dropped. Each bar was a fukking diss. Jay must've had the face the entire time. At the end of the song he must've been praying for Nas not to mention his renegade verse.

"Foxy got you hot cuz you kept your face in her puss (Jay: He knew about that? )
What you think you gettin girls now cuz of yo looks? NE-GRO, PLEASE!!! (Jay: Damn, he's right I am ugly )
You no mustache having (Jay: wtf? I like my whiskers)
With whiskers like a rat (Jay: Oh shyt)
Compared to beans you wack (Jay: That's fukked up)
...
You ass,went from Jazz to hanging with Kane (Jay: Jesus christ when will this shyt end?)
To Irv (Jay: End already!! )
To Big (Jay: Fuuuuuuck..Please, jesus, don't bring up renegade, don't bring up renegade)
And...(Jay:Phew no renegade yet )
Eminem murdered you on your own shyt (Jay:)
Joos a dikkriding fakkit (Jay: )
...Queens nikkas run you nikkas ask russell simmons (Jay:)"

 

[Dre Space Age]

Smh at jigga warriors claiming takeover was the better song . He was rambling about trees falling over and shyt while every single word in ether litteraly made jiggas soul burn slow

LMFAOOOOO

 

[Dre Space Age]

Even I was a bigger Jay Z fan than a Nas fan. After Ether dropped them scales tipped quick. Most powerful fact of Ether is it made Jay lose the respect of his fans.

Flawless execution

Imagine if Nas didn't have to change the original version (Columbia said if he didn't change it, it wasn't going to make the album). I'm sure it would've been of even more epic proportions. Even tho I liked Ether, I thought the Stillmatic freestyle was better.

I was in college at the time bruhs and after Takeover, all my nukkas and me agreed Nawrs was done.

Then that link for Either hit the net. I had like 10 people in my dorms sitting in stunned silence after we played that shyt the first time. We must have ran it back 100 times in a row. shyt was for real.

Regardless, in life and as far as careers go, Jay won the war. But Nas won the battle between the 2....

What is this imaginary war camel stans always speak of? Nas won point blank

With Stillmatic freestyle Nas opened the coffin
With Ether he closed it
And with Last Real nikka Alive he nailed that muthafukka shut

I read the og version and it ain't as classic as Ether, sorry. http://rapgenius.com/discussions/6046-Nas-ether-the-original-version-leaked-deep-lyrical-shyt

The original was more lyrical, while Ether was straight disses
Verse 1
So you call yourself god mc… J-hova\
drunk the glass of blasphemy & forgot to pray over\
your games over\ crossed the warpath of a brave soldier\
youre a makeover\ my protege trying to takeover\ I was the sheperd that led you\ But you bit the hand that fed you\ mad cause since I met you i never did respect you\ and as hard as it seems\ you know that I fathered your dreams\ you was a groupie always begging to be part of my team\ another case of a boy and his teacher\ I was the first to poison your speakers\ so kill all that noise that your preaching\ I understand\ all your plans to underhand\ aired threats of you pullin my card next summerjam\ let me make this clear hova\ You had my left overs\ she told me your little problem of the day when you slept over\ but thats another subject homey\ ***** you phony\
Im coming to collect the debt from the years that you owe me\ so what you capitlized... only cause i allowed\ Im taking aim at your dome\ and reclaiming my throne\
“Who said I that i aint still nasty”

Verse 2
How you planned on facing\ the half man half-amazing\
Dont need a fam, Nas is a one man invasion\ claim you hot but you flopped with your roc-familia\ cause real recognize real and youre not familiar\
call yourself gansta but you were begging for pardon\
that night in carbon\ when terror squad flipped on your squadron\
Tried to front on their checks\ till pun put a gun to your chest\
YOu said it yourself dog, Nas is one of the best\
Dont need to search for some dirt to expose you\ I leave it up to the flow dispose you\ when i oppose you\ This is it Im calling ya\ come out and play like “warriors”\
studied my blueprint then pieced together your formula\
Guess the knowledge I speak too deep to follow\
that`s why your stomach to weak to swallow\ The real truth
that Nas is\ the greates of all timers\
f*ck skeletons, keep only weaponry in my closets

Tae Bo Ho kills that whole rap. Just give me that one line and I'm good.

Ether changed Jay-Z's life. Nas was unfazed by Takeover other than to show some disdain for the camel.

Exactly. Before, Jay Z was just so on top of the world and cocky, he felt nothing or nobody could get to him. Discovered he was wrong. Homie let a so called lessor man, the under dog, rattle his emotions, and effect him as man. Jay was on Hot 97 damn near in tears after Ether declared the winner. He tried to save face with Superugly, thinking that hitting low blows and below the belt would redeem him. And it didn't, so he tried again with that "for in the face of defeat" line LOL. Truth is, Jay has to live with the humiliation that the under dog served him humble pie.
