So I just listened to Ether for the first time in years and...

[The Ruler 09]

Possibly greatest diss track ever.

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

people often shyt on the beat but it's the perfect instrumental for a battle, everytime I hear the instrumental version I think a a fight scene, tha'ts why every ether remix specially the 9th wonder one didn't have the strenght of the original even if the beat may have been better

How can NaS be garbage? Semi auto's at ya cartilage

one the worse bars ever. You can tell the nikka NEVER took a bio class and has no idea what cartilage is or where to find it.

Nas, one of the best rappers to ever do it, is known for his ability to paint a picture with words and deliver a SERIOUS powerful and meaningful message at any given time that can enlighten you and change your
...But this ETHER shyt was none of that.

you didn't understand ether then because it was exactly that

the reason it made his soul bleed is the truths within. the lesson in the narrative is one of love and war

Jigga wanted it to be one way


















But it was the other way

Nas was on some:
