How come Jay Z never responded to Ether?

[Ziggiy]

The Post Takeover/Ether/SupaUgly part of their battle is underrated

I agree.

I think that the subs they threw at each other post battle were some of the most creative disses ever.

As a self-confessed ,

If you had told me that 10-15 years later, this would still be a thing, I wouldn't have believed you.

Nas knew. About that ether, that shyt that makes your soul burn slow

don't forget the "General" aka "Salute Me"


This is life and I'm the hardest, got ya label all scared
Callin up the radio, don't want my records to air
Y'all ain't playin fair, to every rapper in the game
I'm comin fo y'all blood, make room for the king...Nas


Jay-z had Nas, Paid N Full freestyle banned from Hot 97.Nas was like

good shyt, forgot about that one too..

also, Jay on H.O.V.A off DJ Envy's Block Party
Jay's Hot 97 Freestyles fresh off vacation (over Stylin and Grinding instrumentals)

damn, they threw a lot of shots at each other. and that's just between them two, won't get on the ROC disses to Nas (State P/Dipset/Bleek)

[Osmosis]

No, I know how to manipulate platnium threads with skewed views and obvious sarcasms also with kindling igniting topics and purposeful mis information.

And that is why you are the original real number doer

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

funny how the list of tracks they dissed each other on is so long but people only tend to mention Ether & Takeover.

ill be honest it was still somewhat a thing in 2007 ...into 2010 12 and so on. think about this, typing in pink fell apart in 2006 but this shyt still fukkin goin.

Hov was prolly like when Cam started dissing Nas thinking he'd get let up on.

Nas ain't really take the bait and get fully involved with Cam when Cam was scorching.
just a few sublims...while Jay was still getting slapped round the ear repeatedly.



Jay's disses became more like upset pleas to the public....on some "you chose HIM ?" type of shyt.



isn't that the freestyle talking bout Hov is home/global phone shyt ?

That really is the proof that Ether burned Jay's soul. He went from being the bully in the battle to letting himself get insecure of the bullying he received from the public. He had everyone thinking he was a materialistic misogynist that sold his soul for riches, and true or not, it was then that he felt the need to let the world know he was really a good guy

When the twin towers dropped I was the first in line
Every time there is a tragedy I'm the first one to help
They call a misogynist, but they don't call me the dude that gives gifts at the projects

Y'all help him cheat

This from the BULLY of rap, the man that was on top of the world at summerjam

It was some masterful shyt how Nas, flipped the script on him and became the bully, forcing Jay to and try to appeal for public sympathy.

Tbh, this continued on the Black Album, which is an entire album of Jay attempting to justify his thug.

@Ziggiy @MoneyBags

I cant forget the songs that let me know they were beefing

Come get me/ Come and get me

Direct call and response

Nas 2nd verse was at jayz

Jayz 1st verse was at nas

Nas set it off on Premier and Jay responded a month later over Timbaland

 

[Mowgli]

Dropped a diss on blueprint 2 and Supa ugly dumbass

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

plus they were a lot of subliminals before like on what you think of that, affirmative action remix, b ez, da bridge 2001, everybody's crazy, eye for an eye freestyle, honey moon is over, star wars, the G.O.D, the pledge...

and even after they made peace they were throwing subliminals on joint collabs ( success, i did it for hip hop)
