"I Didn't Speak to Jay for 2 weeks after Ether" - Dame Dash

[DeuceZ]

...I'm tryna kick the shyt you need to learn though
that ether that shyt that make your soul burn slow (burn slow)

man I remember when I first heard that shyt...shyt MTV had to make a special on that beef...its been 13yrs fellas Jay lost (more or less admitted it on BP II) and on Last Real Nukka Alive Nas explained everything and deaded it all



how much of Biggies lines is gonna come outta ur fat lips

ok im done

The nerve of Jigga stans. Serch said that Serchlite Publishing didn't even exist. He just created it in 2012 cuz people kept asking him about it...

Disagree, I mean this dude ended up actually signing a label deal under the man that said he "left condoms on the baby seat".

This is the problem with you dudes. You judge music based on everything but the actual music.

Seeing Jay stans desperate arguments for how Jay won this battle is funny as fukk. Jay's had a great career, he lost a battle, life goes on.



Jay stans like to point out how takeover was all facts, well show how this is fact.

Nas being in the game 10, Jay being in for 5.... 5 years since rd, 7 years since illmatic

the serchlight publishing that others posted looks off for jay too

Is that Jay-Z's cousin (Ty Ty)?....who the dude on the left?...Fat Joe?

Shawn "Pecas" Costner... Def Jam Executive

Nas appropriately titled the song Ether..

The song, the symbolism is forever etched into Jays legacy..

I mean, let's think about Blue Ivy in school, kids fukking with her asking if "does that Ether, still burn ya daddy soul?"

Even in 2025 kids will still speak on that Ether.

its funny i now be feelingbad for jay because of ether and the history it has taken on.. but at the time, i wanted nas to destroy his azz something serious. like, get that fooll. the critics had written nas off in such a disrespectful manner. basically, the only thing to give me that feeling again would be if kendrick got drake.

Ehh kdot who is the critical darling ? How would this be similar

Remember that Ali/Foreman analogy dude mentioned earlier? This is kinda what he was talking about

At the three minute mark Nas called him a Tae Bo Ho and did the Crane Kick.

Guess what, Ether was musically not as powerful as you dudes think. Takeover was far more powerful, and had far more impact....musically

damn yall just reaching for anything

damn yall just reaching for anything

What kind of impact did Ether have on the music? Takeover generated a huge explosion of buzz, Ether was a diss song, just like all the other diss songs, there were some good lines and some garbage shyt that Nas was careless in saying and didnt actually do his research. Sure, alot of people thought he got Jay, but that is because Jay's status at the time was so huge that people were waiting for any artist with the pedigree of Nas to say anything against the top dog, and so many people loved illmatic and wanted Nas to show any sign of life at all (basically at that point he was joke after the garbage he was putting out and no buzz). If yall dont like my opinion, dont give a fukk.
