That face was the same reaction my brother's face when he heard Nas' Ether song cause he was a huge Jay-Z fan at the time and I remember copped Nas' Stillmatic and he heard the song Ether....my brother was like :ohmy::no: like :huhldup: "Hate it had to be him"....at the same time, he knows Nas is the greatest rapper but thought Nas fell off caught him off guard. then later on he listen to God's Son, "Last Real nikka Alive" and he was like :wow:. Right now, he always said, Nas is better than Jay-Z :manny: he admit its because he likes his music better. He just getting sick of tired of Jay-Z music these days and felt like "This isn't Jay-Z music anymore"...More like "Follow the trend" music.

Me and your brother had a similar reaction then


I heard Jay get at Nas on Takeover and felt like

U couldn't tell me nothing for that stretch till Ether came out, I was sure Jay got Nas outta here

I knew Jay was getting worked over bad by the end of the first verse of Ether. the disdain. .. that "the nerve of this muthafukka" tone Nas carried, he was talking down to the arguably biggest rapper in the world at that moment :damn:

Pete Rock said that it made Cube mad as fukk. I think it was effective. Although it starts out with a blatant lie - that Amerikka's Most was Cube's only good album - the rest of the diss is straight fire. But I think the thing that really sold it was that...it was Common. Common was always that well mannered nikka who grew up on the block who might give you dap, you give him dap and say "wassup breh" then as he walks away you look at your homie and be like "that nikka takes yoga classes and eats quinoa...." :patrice:

So for him to come out the gate and knock out who many considered the defacto toughest rapper in the game...shyt was dope.

This whole post is :mjlol:but the Common of that era isn't the Common we now know. He was on some street shyt back in the day.

I remember hearing Cube on Juan Ep, saying that Common had a good diss going at him, and saying he wished he could've put out his response record before Farrakhan called him to squash the beef.

Revisionist history will tell you that Cube was too scared to diss Common back and that this song was bigger than it was.

basically this,BIY might be the most overated diss of all time in actuality....just bcuz people really try to oversell the impact of it as you can tell by this thread comparing it to Ether:laff:...and pretend it ended Cubes run of greatness:dahell:...Cube was already at the tail end of his greatness and transitioning to movies by the time this happened,and even then you saw what happened when Cube got at em on Westside Slaughterhouse:banderas:...in my opinion he got bodied with that one verse just like Drake did Common years later:heh:....I think the song is proof that like ether, the underdog always got the advantage,especially if they wear kufis:manny:...and btw Cube being mad about either Common record don't mean shyt,when u ever seen this nikka Cube happy?

I believe Cube could have, look what he did No Vaseline but I think he's just matured and f@ggot ass Farrakhan stopped him and told him to squash so I think Cube gotta respect Farrakhan. Common even said himself that he knew Ice Cube would handle the beef song and would've gone in so that's why he had to go hard in The B!tch In Yoo on Cube..but f*cking Farrakhan stopped Cube. Farrakhan thought the beef would get out of the control but Cube knows Commom is a good guy and wouldn't hurt him on the street but do it on the rap business shyt.

I listened to the song for the first time today.(I know crazy but fukk it) That diss definitely had to have the same effect. Plus, I remember Mack 10 said cube was pissed about that diss in a interview before.


wheres the other version? i looked all over youtube and find it nowhere.the remix beat sound way better.
