Takeover (At Least the Nas Verse) Was One of The Weakest Diss Tracks Ever

[Reign X]

X ain’t want no smoke

do not bark up that tree that tree will fall on u. Idk why your Advisors didn’t warn u. Please not jay. He not for play. All that thug rapping and gimmicks. I would end it

goat

The only reason I gave you the crown, was so I could shoot it off your fukking head


To this day, X wants to battle Jay. Jay is the one that has ran from it.

Know your history fella. I do this shyt.
X backed down and said he wasn’t talking to HOV

jay fired the last shot during that period

It’s pretty clear it was at jay. Jada is dissing beans on the same song.

Someone like Irv may have asked X to back away from it. I don’t remember that happening but it definitely could’ve. You could just show DMX denying it, instead of being a dikk. Know ur history, I do this. Shut up.

Like I said he ain’t want no smoke

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

It was a better song. I always hated ETHER.

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

Lamest diss I’ve ever heard was on DJ Quik’s “can’t fukk with a nikka”, a diss towards Everlast. JFN raps

“the only way you could be cool is if you jumped in the pool”

 

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

This is an actual wack line. Calling Jay Z, Gay Z isn’t a wack line. It’s an insult. Apples and Oranges.

If it makes you happy, substitute “insult“ or whatever your favorite word for dis is. Doesn’t change anything at all. shyt was hilariously wack, haha.

How

Takeover was hard as fukk and was a better diss than Ether

 

[Deltron]

Just imagine if the original ether was released

there's gotta be some crazy shyt on there where is like I probably went too far

 

[The Dust King]

what I respect the most about Nas in the battle was that he waited for 3-4 months to respond to the Takeover.

after jay threw that sub at nas at summerjam
nas responded IMMEDIATELY with stillmatic freestyle like a few days later

dame and jay got it thrown from radio play, it had like 2 weeks of spin before banned

 

[The Dust King]

That's the problem with casual rap fans...they don't understand how Nas broke Jay down on Ether. He was literally responding to so much, that's why it hurt Jay on a personal level. Ether broke down the coke rapper.

Jay - You nikkas gonna learn to respect the king
Nas Response - Burner at the side of your dome, come outta my throne

Jay - "Who's the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas
Nas Response - Whose the best, Pac, Nas & Big...ain't no best

Jay - Had a spark when you started but now you're just garbage
Nas Response - How can Nas be garbage? Semi-autos at your cartilage

Jay - If I ain't better than big, than I'm the closest one
Nas Response - First Biggie's your man, then you got the nerve to say you better than Big

Jay - There's only one rule, I will not lose
Nas Response - God's Son across the belly, I proved you lost already

Jay - That's why you're LAAAAAAAAME! Career's come to and end
Nas Response - I've been fukked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten

Jay - I know you're missing all the FAAAAAAAAAME
Nas Response - What's sad is I love you cause you're my brother, you traded your soul for riches

Jay - That means I fly rough early plus I know tae bo
Jay - nikka switch up your flow, your shyt is garbage, but you try and kick knowledge
Nas Response - You Tae-bo hoe, trying to work it out, you tryna' get brolic? Ask me if I'm trying to kick knowledge

Jay - Used to tell they friends I was ugly and wouldn't touch me
Nas Response - What you think, you getting girls now 'cause of your looks?

Jay - We bring knife to a fist fight and kill your drama
Nas - And your man stabbed Un and made you take the blame

i always judge diss tracks on how much they respond to the claims

nas responded to everything and won

same with LL. canibus got got because LL literally responded to every line in 2nd round ko.

"damn L i was only jokin" - mike tyson impression lolol

Do not bark up that tree that tree will fall on you

Rocafella is the Army better yet the Navy nikkas will kidnap your baby soit at your lady

Please not Jay he's not for play

Yo bruh i didn't have time yesterday so i just posted a couple of lines shyt was filled with garbage bars.

We bring knife to fistfight, kill your drama
Uh, we kill you motherfukkin ants with a sledgehammer

Roc-A-Fella, students of the game, we passed the classes
Nobody can read you dudes like we do
Don't let 'em gas you like Jigga is ass and won't clap you

You are not deep, you made your bed now sleep

 

[skokiaan]

If I was camel I would have left Nas alone of the strength of that 'u can hate me now' third verse..the energy on that alone..not even the way guy flow on the whole song should have been enough red flags.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

It was lazy.

Jay was really feeling himself. He thought Nas was done. He underestimated Nas completely with that diss.

Remember, Nas was at a weird point in his career at this time. Jay saw his chance and went for it. Little did he know he woke a sleeping giant.


Nobody saw Ether coming. Including Jay. He didn't expect Nas to comeback, let alone comeback that strong.

Battling was Jay's forte, not Nas'.

Nas beat Jay at his own game.

I agree with this. Nas was on years before Jay so of course people would’ve thought Nas was done by the time Takeover came out. We saw what actually happened though.
