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

Then a year later Nas had the nikka doing trash ass Austin Powers impersonations "Oh behave" :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol:. How you admit defeat in a diss song but your stans still swear you won? :jbhmm: :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

Even Carmen dropped the Ether on him :picard:

"Jay Z’s never been in any of our vehicles. That was him just grasping at things and just trying to make an instant comeback. But even the next day, when he got on the radio station, HOT 97, he was disheveled; he sounded like he was about to cry. He wasn’t sure where he was going with the story. His mother called and made him apologize. ‘Super Ugly’ was not a well thought out plan. And I believe, in hindsight, that he regretted ever dropping that. In fact I know for a fact that he regretted dropping it! Because we have a mutual friend who told me that he said [that].” She further deduces, “It was an emotion reaction to an ass-whoopin’.”

I think that ugly nikka hates his mom. First he blames her for being a “pop shyt and apologize” nikka, he later pushes her out of the closet and exposes her as a dyke for album promo :dead:
Shameful clown and glad Nas bodied him
Almost as bad as “I am a war general, seasoned in preparation My jacket is covered in medals, honor and decoration” @Mystic @Lil Bape the PostGod @CrimsonTider @yung Herbie Hancock @Rembrandt
@Illuminatos
Then disappearing for four months on a flopped tour and suing from the other side of the planet :scusthov:

She didn't deny he hit tho lol

Nas been on guard ever since

The Illmatic rapper’s ex-wife, Kelis, recently did an interview where she revealed that he put hands on her because he saw Hov saying hi to her and went into a jealous rage. Nas and Kelis are currently battling each other over custody of their son and child support, so there is a lot of bitter blood between them.

Disagree...Takeover served it's purpose

Arguably over hyped but not as much as Ether

What are Ether's quotables? fukk Jay z? Lol

I can never get a good answer

Only "well Jay was crying on the radio..."

Ppl just want Nas to win. He's easier to root for
Ether got a ton of quotables

Foxy got you hot cuz you kept your face in her puss
:scust:

You think you getting girls now cuz of your looks?
:umad:

Negro please :childplease:

No mustache having :scusthov:

With whiskers like a rat compared to Bean you wack

I give you Nas popularizing word Ether ...but other than that but no one is quoting bars, bumping Ether today or a year after its release

The streaming stats out there for some of the services. Ether did 3x more than Takeover last week on Spotify. Doubled up Takover and BP2 combined. So if Ether irrelevant in 2025, what's that say about the other songs?

So why did he react so bytch made to those bars?😂🤣

They really don't understand psychology.

Ether had two basic lanes. One, calling Jay out for being a swagger jacking opportunist with no originality. The other, some schoolyard bully hood shyt, straight up calling him a bytch and clowning him. Jay whole persona was about how cool, tough and unflappable he was and Nas lil' manned him, showing zero respect.

Funny how so many Hovengers love to talk about how authentic and street he is, but don't understand the approach Nas took or how disrespectful that was from a street perspective :mjpls:

I thought it was over for Nas. Me and my homeboy rushed to the mall to cop the Blueprint the day it dropped. They getting ready to close due to 9/11. Got there right in time. We smoked and listened to it in the car. When Jay said:

You said you been in this ten
I've been in it five, smarten up Nas
Four albums in ten years nikka I can divide
That's one every let's say two, two of them shyts was doo
One was nah, the other was Illmatic
That's a one hot album every ten-year average

Me and my boy sat in silence like :mjcry:


Same.

Jay was on fire. He could have sold a blank cd then. he was winning constantly. I loved takeover but I was sad...because I thought it was over for Nas.

Then I heard Ether and it was like Nas saying "Yall nikkas really forgot who I was" I never doubted Nas since. Any other rapper at that time....it would have been over for em.

Same experience I had :myman:

Two classic tracks. Cannot go wrong with either one. And I think they are the two best MCs ever

Supa Ugly was worse but Takeover wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad either but it just had shock value because of the memorable quotables.

Nas smoked his boots three times.
