Let me take y'all back to early Dec 2001

• Jigga is on top of the world coming off Blueprint
• Rocafella Records is the #1 rap label
• We knew Stillmatic was coming but the perception was that Nas fell off
• The day Ether dropped, the world stopped
• I remember ppl's reaction when they heard it for the first time, ppl were genuinely flabbergasted, shocked, surprised, and couldn't believe what they were hearing
• Nas fans rejoiced bc it was a return to prominence for the chosen one
• Ether was played on the radio as a single
• Jigga dropped Blueprint Unplugged the same day as Stillmatic to capitalize off of the controversy
• Nas energy changed after Ether bc he knew he slayed a giant, he had nothing left to prove
• Ether hurt Jay, personally
• Even the term Ether has now entered into the hip hop lexicon
• Ether broke down the coke rapper
• Ether included direct response to all the subliminals Jigga dropped over the years
• Ether is the most impt diss record in history

Rep for this

Ether is the reason Stan is in pop culture lexicon too, yes Em made the song but barely anyone was calling another person a Stan before Nas said it to Jay.

Had Jay on the radio near tears, voice cracking. Vulgar

Jay stans still furious about it 20+ years later, making troll threads because that Ether still burning

Bullseyes also don't forget the various diss that came afterwards ex. Super ugly which imo made the battle if you will look weak on Jiggas end.

This too
