So I'm listening to this NORE interview that the breh @Uncle Kendrick posted in another thread

And he's talking about an Ether that Nas recorded, over a SWIZZ beat. NORE actually says it was better than the released version. :ohhh:

Has anyone heard of this before?? Is the track anywhere on the net?



:feedme:

Yes. Rumor has it he recorded 3 different versions of it because they were to vulgar and he was told to tone it down even though Jungle didn't want him to.

:wow:

Just googling some shyt now... Found these as possible lyrics. Looks pretty weak compared to the released version tbh, probably some :duck:

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

Large Professor commented on the original version of Nas' diss towards Jay-Z, "Ether," saying the original version of the song was produced by Swizz Beatz. He also says the original lyrics were much more offensive, and contained a line where Nas rapped, "It should've been you in that plane crash," which most likely is a reference to Aaliyah's fatal crash that happened around the time that their beef was brewing. That's a low blow, Esco.

Why the hell would you want it? Nas and Swizz has never made good music together, just listen to what was rightfully shelved during that timeframe
