At the time I thought ether was the shyt. As I got older I changed my mind n realized takeover was not only the better overall song, but also the better diss. It summed Nas up perfectly in ONE verse. Ether was a full diss track that was a rebuttal to a 16 bar verse. It was dope but Takeover just said what every hip hop head was feeling about Nas at that particular point. Oh, and that ether beat was
While That Is True, Nas Gave A Rubtle To All That
I've been fukked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten
Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten
Y'all just piss on me, shyt on me, spit on my grave
Talk about me, laugh behind my back but in my face
Y'all some "well wishers," friendly acting, envy hiding snakes
With your hands out for my money, man, how much can I take?
The BEST Thing About Ether Is Jay Thought He Was Gonna Get Away With Kicking A Man While He Was Down
The Sentiment Around Nas At That Time Was He Was "Done" Long Breaks Away From Rapping And Dropping Nastradamous And THAT Is When That Coward Camel Decided To Attack Him, At His Weakest To Make Himself Look Greater Then He Was
Jay Saw It As A Way Of Proclaiming His Self As The Top Dog And He Got A Rude Ass Awakening
@ admitting you got the big boot and the leg drop and learning your f*cking lesson while staring at the ceiling, on your back.
wtf u talking about. next to hit em up ether might be the most famous diss track ever. and only on the internet do you see people say jay-z is better than nas. if u asked a random person they could prolly name more jay songs but admit nas is a better rapper.
