I had my older cousins bumpin Illmatic and It Was Written and i even remember my female cousins and my sisters singing to If I ruled the world when I was young.

Nas was the one who got me and countless others into rap. :ahh:

Even Lupe Fiasco said that It Was Written got him into rap. :ahh:

nikka i aint ask bout ur cousin's cousin or ur our w/e the fukk...the question was about u

If i ruled the world was a single and a very popular one, that dnt mean nothin...

Before the nas/jay beef even started. :mjpls:

I still can't understand how people say Ether wasn't a good beat, for christ sake, a bunch of amatuers use that beat for freestyles and the moment the song starts everyone goes crazy! Takeover if you really think about it, was just a straight rip off from the original, there wasn't much done to change the beat period.

ima say this about the ether beat

by itself, it doesnt sound great. the fact that nas turned it into the fukkin record that it became is part of the reason why ether>>>>takeover. that shyt absolutely knocks and thats easily one of the hardest hooks ever

Lol @ siding with nas or jay 12 years ago creating some fictitious generational divide with who you you listen to now. Too bad j cole and k dot are homies, or else we'd have to choose sides based on out nas/jay affiliation.

But I have noticed that almost all Nas stans on the Coli are K Dot stans and were saying GKMC was classic and better than RD.

This is what makes it so funny

Read this thread: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/kendrick-says-jay-z-is-goat-video.50604/

Nas stans were caught off guard when this happened. Ya'll were looking confused and started hating Jay because one of your favorites thought Jay is the GOAT

L :pachaha:
Breh that thread about GKMC vs Rd was a trap it was GKMC vs BP3 or some shyt then they changed the shyt around to RD.

and honestly I was Nas stan that felt like Jay when when I heard Takeover I was like :wow:.

No way is Nas coming back from this shyt was my mental.

Then when I heard them gun shots on Dec 4th!
I was like :dwillhuh::pachaha::whoo::pacspit::damn::mindblown::steviej::umad::gladbron::shaq::ohhh::stopitslime::lolbron::ehh::wow::takedat::blessed::laff::gladbron::skip::obama::snoop::huhldup:




By the end of the song.

Ether had more facts than takeover...all camel stans hold on to is "bbbut Takeover has facts!" when in fact its the opposite.

I find it funny how some folks actually feel that people can't genuinely prefer ether and that it has to be part of a conspiracy against jay. Nah man, Kendrick still my dude but no, ether wasn't just dope cause of underdog status, it was dope because it was a 4 minute 38 second non stop lyrical ass whoopin. Nas broke that mans soul

But along with celebrity comes about 70 shots to your frame, nikka...................fact
You a (lame)
You's the faq model for Karl Kani Esco ads..................fact
Went from Nasty Nas to Esco's trash.....................fact
Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage......................fact
Fell from "top 10" to "not mentioned at all"
To your bodyguard's "Oochie Wally"'s verse better than yours........................fact
Matter of fact you had the worst flow on the whole fukking song.................fact
But I know: the sun don't shine, then son don't shine
That's why your (lame) career's come to an end
There's only so long fake thugs can pretend......................fact
nikka, you ain't live it
You witnessed it from your folks' pad
You scribbled it in your notepad and created your life.......................fact
I showed you your first Tec, on tour with Large Professor...................fact
Then I heard your album about your Tec on the dresser
So yeah, I sampled your voice, you was using it wrong.................fact
You made it a hot line, I made it a hot song.................fact
And you ain't get a coin, nikka, you was getting fukked then
I know who I paid, God - Serchlite publishing......................fact
Use your (brain)
You said you've been in this 10, I've been in it 5 - smarten up, Nas
4 albums in 10 years, nikka?I could divide
That's one every...let's say 2

2 of them shyts was due
1 was "nah," the other was Illmatic
That's a one-hot-album-every-10-year average......................fact
And that's so (lame)

Your shyt is garbage
What you trying to kick, knowledge?
You nikkas gonna learn to respect the king
Don't be the next contestant on that Summer Jam screen
Because you-know-who did you-know-what with you-know-who
But let's keep that between me and you (for now)

Nah Ether was some of the worst writing ever

Like atleast Jay had proper structure in his verse towards Nas

Nas' shyt was all over the fckin place

Its simple...Ether is loved because Nas was the underdog period

And the only reason Nas is even relevant to this day is because Jay is still relevant

Nas' career hangs on the coattails of Jay

these 90's babies find out that Nas was the closest to ending Jay(who continues to portray himself as the succesor and top guy in hip hop) and then they flock to him and impute some image that is the foil of Jay's image to Nas and they fall in love with this image.

Fact and point...without Jay Nas is nothing
