Takeover was a rock and roll diss with funny quotables. Ether was actually getting radio play and still does on some slow radio days.Takeover was so precise and surgical. It was nearly perfect.
Ether was just a devastating sledgehammer. A sledgehammer doesn't need to be surgical. It just needs to destroy
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.
Da Bridge 2001
Stillmatic Freestyle (H to the Home)
Ether
Jay had no chance
I knew that “FAMEEEEEEEE!!!” And “LAMEEEEEEE!!!!” Bullshyt adlibs was wack back in 2001
never said the diss wasnt good or effective, just that some of the rhymes were some grade 4 schoolyard type shytSo why did he react so bytch made to those bars?
Nas sonned Jay but to me went even harder on Cormega on Destroy and Rebuild.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
glad I ain’t that nikka
nikka was on Hot 97 challenging Nas to boxing matches for charity
Nas sonned Jay but to me went even harder on Cormega on Destroy and Rebuild.
I know Jay was like
Because the shyt was true game recognize game.
member this shyt right up my alley.
Laid the trap with Stillmatic freestyle, dropped the bomb with Ether, then shut it down and dismissed him from class.
"I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo, it hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo"
whining for 2 verses "how could you chose him over me?"
"I donated to Columbine he did nothing"
. BP2 is a more cringe version of What More Can I Say
Yo bruh you a funny ass dude bro @I'm Blackman this nikka got me dying over heremeanwhile Jay was destroying a classic Pac record with bullshyt bonnie & Clyde trash. Then made a diss a song where he thought he was Austin Powers
It's crazy I originally just made the thread to get on Jay's bars and I didn't even post any of coming at Nas.
Kanye ain’t from Harlem
