Ever notice that Jay Z went through the 5 stages of grief over losing to Nas on Blueprint 2?

funny thread. i'd forgotten all these songs. I just don't care at all about big budget rap from those years.


has enough time passed yet where the Nas fans can finally admit Ether is a shytty beat and the bars/flow aren't that ill?
its kinda mediocre, but the fact that nas brought that level of energy out of it makes ether even better

whereas i always thought the takeover beat was fukkin wack :scusthov:

really, breh. in 2014 we're STILL pretending that beat wasn't wack? REALLY? Nas won the battle. We can now be frank with each other.
Personally I liked the beat, when I heard it I knew shyt was real. I mean, I know you not a fan of that eras production, matter of fact that era period but personally I liked the beat. :yeshrug:

Now Takeover that beat was terrible :scusthov:

okay. i respect that. i actually hate the takeover beat NOW too. I liked it back then. I think anything sampled i viewed favorably back then. The Blueprint in general is a fukkin' snoozefest to me. I like the Bink stuff & Girls, Girls, Girls.

again. yeah, takeover at the time seemed awesome....now? trash. But for me personally, and this is no anti Nas propaganda, my ears repelled the entire Ether song immediately. Like i HATED the audio i was hearing. I was surprised by it though. I guess that's the crux of why it's so important.
