It's fair to say that stern talking on Ether made Jay Z look in the mirror and come to grips with his misogyny and the like. No Ether and Jay would have never wifed Beyonce. His business ventures would not have been as successful imo...
"There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens it up for me
When the grass is cut, the snakes will show
I gotta thank the little homie Nas for that though
Saving me the hassle of speaking to half of these a$$holes"
This led to him cutting ties with Dame and the like - eventually selling Rocawer for 200 mil. Without Nas, those crabs would still be around. He would still be rocking pink with Cam.
Nas taught Jay Z about himself. Taught him how to be a man - How to properly treat women, how to navigate crabs. Made him come to terms and embrace his sub-par camel-like appearance. I could go on...
To simply call ether a diss track does a disservice. Ether was the most invaluable father-son moment of Jay Z's life.
