Takeover was the most overrated diss of all time with incredibly Weak Bars :mjlol:

[Neuromancer]

Ether is now a verb. Takeover is a foot note. Let that sink in.

 

[Taadow]

Takeover was the best record but if you’re on the radio sounding like you’re about to cry does it really matter?

This is what it always comes back to.

”Takeover” was the best record, but often the beef is settled by the outcome.

glad someone stated the obvious

 

[UnQuantized]

Industry wanted Nas out of the paint so they used the whole Takeover is based on facts while Ether is just picking on Jay The truth is that Ether was surgical. As Irv Gotti said nobody cared about the Carmen shyt, women come and go and the whole one hot album every 10 year average line is garbage because I prefer Nas's work to Jay's by far in that period. Smarten up Nas, yet Jay eventually realized he had to update his content, mature and begun touching on topic Nas was already writing about as a 23 year old.

Takeover>>>shether

more quotable
better beat
better overall song
no corny lyrics like ether

and coli quote takeover more than ether too… crazy

but that whole narrative that takeover is all facts is corny… i’ll admit

and miss me with that “this is revisionist history” talk…
takeover always been a smash
and will always be better
idc what nasir fans got to say

Nah it has some awkward bars (Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you) but overall it was very surgical and precise and said everything about Nas' place in hip-hop at the time. I know Nas had to have been heated when he heard it.
In hindsight Jay's biggest mistake was not getting nasty. If he had dropped that Carmen shyt on Takeover it would have been over.

Nas went low and Jay panicked and hurriedly released Supah Ugly. As far as I'm concerned, it barely qualifies as a song. And By the time Blueprint 2 rolled around, it was too late. He seemed bitter and devoid of confidence.

If he had waited and composed himself, I think he would done a better Job but Ether rocked his shyt hard. He clearly didn't expect Nas to be so viscous

meet the grahams is what people think ether is

Until Nas clapped back

Nas had been clapping back.

Jayz tried to duck and hide.
Then monetize all the disses. Where jay messed up. Was trying to diss everyone on one song. When the people dissing him. Already had counts of 48 plus bars of disses. Putting jayz behind at least 32 bars or more.
a piece to fat joe, prodigy and nas.
Where jayz was ducking.
That making takeover exposed jayz was hiding to the mainstream. If jay would have kept up his silent act. Then waited....jayz pr from possibly kara lewis?!!!. [I want to know all jayz publicist, so pardon if i missed any pr firms. Someone tell us who his publicist is. As i want that info and the cost for myself]
that made him bulletproof would have eventually phased out nas, prodigy and fat joe. By making one record to try to diss them all like a poke ball. Jay opened up how he got served to rhe mainstream. If jay would have stayed a sellout jiggy a$$hole sneak dissing. Jay would never have got served. Yet jay wanted to fake like this jiggy world beater emcee. When it was all grief from big. Literally if jay would have never tried to monetize the battle. Jayz would be bigger.
I still don't understand why the guy who did everything.
to undermine the culture of hiphop for his own gain. Fell to his own ego. To be accepted in a culture. That he helped bring upon the demise of.

The shyt super goofie. If you a jiggy sellout. Be a jiggy sellout culture thief a$$hole.

All jayz did was make it so.
nas Got back cultural credibility. Nas souled't ouT. Then became jiggy. That created how jayz became jayz.

If jay never tries to pander to hiphop. Nas would have lost by simple war of commercial sellout attrition. By way of jay's bullet proof pr. That nas disses would have been unknown.
like nas's earlier mixtape disses and jaz's ova on vinyl.

That is why jay don't say shyt now.
Then uses his publicist as his voice. Or acts mute. When jay opens his mouth. Like the grammy speech. Jay ruins his draw. As the whole disengenuine culture thief act gets exposed. Making the public see how oftputting jay is.

Jay trying to sway people to not fukk wit Nas was cringe and sad as hell

"Can't y'all see that he's fake"
"This is with who ya place ya faith"
"But u can't give cred to anything dude says, same dude give u ice and u owe em some head"
"Won't break u a crumb off the little bit that makes"
"Every time it's a tragedy I'm the first one to help"
"Cuz a nigg wear a kufi it don't mean that he bright"

Jay was so blew that he tried the politician method "hey he's not your guy I'm your guy he's not who he's depicted to be"

Takeover was better

This is what it always comes back to.
