That's my GOAT. Ether was vicious, but the overall song is "What goes around"

Sine Metu
Ether was a great diss track and it's effect on Jay-Z makes it one of the best of all time, but I skip that track regularly.
My top 5:
Every Ghetto
2nd Childhood
Stillmatic Intro
You're da Man
What Goes Around

I don't think either are quite good enough to be classics
BP is probably closer off the strength of production. Stillmatic blows it the fukk out of the water as far as lyricism though.
my favorite has always been 2nd childhood. of course one mic, what goes around and others are up there tho
I know people probably don't think much of My Country, because Stillmatic is chop full of classic gems, but I was always in awe how Nas wrote from the perspective of a guy going to jail and one fighting in George Bush's war.
Yo, I'm sittin' behind these prison walls
I got this pen and pad wishin' on a visit, God
Brothers is here for homicide and yo, it's some for rape
Some brothers innocent, I pray that I could just escape
How is the war
And yo I'm wishin' I was in your shoes
Holdin' machine guns
Clean fun shootin' ducks with fatigues on
Anywhere is better than this
It's America's plan every color of man inherits the shyt
And, they say he's not the GOAT
