Dec 18 = Ether Day.

LOL @ anybody who thinks Nas won that battle on any type of level. You dudes can say what you want to, but at the end of the day if your "so called" enemy sleeps with your girl and you find out about it later its a wrap for you, simply put. Can you envision Nas's face after hearing this line for the first time......." I came in your bentley backseat, skeeted in your jeep left condoms on your baby seat" I imagine Nas looked a little bit like this...............
laugh.gif


I can just envision your face when you really thought Super Ugly was the first time Nas knew about Jay and his baby mom. Ridin don't get you nowhere, butthrown off the third leg of the Suzuki.....
laugh.gif
NAS WAS THE ONE WHO FIRSTONE TO BRING THE RELATIONSHIP UP. Nas got on some Art of War @@@! and said Jay shouldn't let his enemies know what you're thinking. That's when hestated in The Source that Jay's last line in Takeover(You know who did you know what with you know who, but let's keep that between me and you,for now) was about his baby mom and Jay's affair. He said Steve Stoute had let him know that Jay had been trying toget at his baby mom for a year...

Jay was eventually going to use it as a last resort anyway...Nas knew that and dropped the napalm bomb. Jay tries to counter and Mama Carter pulls the plug....Then Jay goes on Hot 97 to get consoled by Angie and the Tri-State...

"I think it was kind of vulgar.."
 
what I never understood (and I'm a fan of both artists) is how people say Nas won when

A. Jay's diss songs were better: His flow, lyricism, jabs, even the beats! Hell Jay hit him with the Carmen haymaker.
B. Jay's career took off after the battle, and Nas' stayed stagnant (actually regressed a little)
C. Jay ended up signing Nas...

Hell I didn't even need the three points. Jay's disses were better! Nas had some good lines, but let's be real. Ether was novel when it came out,then everyone lost interest quick. I just thought Darth Vader yelling "+%$! Jay-Z" was hilarious, but come on. It was nothing but gay jokes and falseclaims. What was so hot about it?

That said, I understand the majority of the world thinks that Nas won and that alone will give the battle to him. But let's be objective for a minute. Why?

You really think I thought Nas hearing Super Ugly was the first time he found out about Jay and Carmen, lol. Not even, of course Nas knew about Jay hittingCarmen common sense champ, but theres a big difference between just you and some members of your crew knowing something bad that happened to you vs. a bunch ofoutside people knowing that same bit of information, which from my point of view equals total embarrassment for Nas.
I will not lose so even in defeat it's a valuble lesson learned so it evens it up for me...

I always took that as Jay saying he took a L...


Damn if that's how you interpreted that line then I guess people don't know how to comprehend these days, SMH. Either way I think we all can agreethat both are great artists that have given us great/good music threw out the years.
 
I am a fan of both....but a much bigger Jay fan than Nas.

I always thought that Ether was better the Takeover, but in every hip hop magazine I've ever read, the Takeover blows Ether out of the water as far asreviews.

Just something to think about.

False "I gave you life when people was forgetting you mc'd" Jay breathed a ton of breath back into nas career, Plus Jay was the biggest starin rap at the time
 
^ He breathed breath BACK into Nas' career?

Yeah, people started to sleep on nas. Then the beef and Nas was big again. And since Stillmatic...? All he's had was "I know I can"
 
Duece King you are something else, your mother could die tomorrow and Jay would't give a i sh.

Jay admits he loses to Nas, in radio interviews, magazines and songs. Yet fans still think he won.

Then his Mom calls up and makes him look !+!$ by making him apologize infront of the whole city of New York and taking his words back about Carmen. AllApologetic, B-Move if you ask me.

Whats was even more desperate is after Ether caved in Jay-Z...Hov is mad tight because the whole New York witnessed him get knocked off the throne...and thenthis dude wants to hold a pay per view event for 1 million dollars where him and Nas would spit off top live....

and then all through the Blueprint 2 album he's sending subliminal messages at Nas like he can't cope with the loss....

1 of the darkest hours for the ROC and especially Jigga. This is the 2nd time his mom made him take back his words or have him make other dudes onthe ROC take back their words(LOX vs ROC)

You dont know how it was being a Jigga fan hearin that
laugh.gif
shhh was brutal.

i know Jay's mom called in...was it to the radio station, jay cell...what?

i would think Jay "allowed" his mom to do that...
when i say allow, its like he said its coool. my momms couldnt get on NT and make me apologize or whatever unless i "allowed" it to happen ya know?
and i aint defendin, just tryin to understand it.

I mean you gotta think about it like this man 1 parent household Jigga got mad love for his moms and respects her. If you were on the radio and ya momscalls you and she probabaly hearin you are you gonna straight up IGNORE ya MOMS? I dont kno who would do something like that especially if you know its aboutsomethin ya moms dont agree with. Now yes he did allow her but the other option isnt good enough for his moms to be mad at him lata. You think a jamaican momscares about ya rep in the hood? dude already rich and that what matters to her. Cuz in her head she prob thinkin I dont want ppl thinkin this how I raised myson.

Also either way if everything I said isnt a factor he still let her do something and it wasnt a good look.

alright i see but you understand the point im makin right? Jay could take the call outside the room comeback and apologize or whatever. Angie or whate vershow they were on would askwould like to take the call on the air?.

eitherway.... Jay won imo.

One thing im glad that wasnt mentioned (if i cared i wouldnt bring it up) but how hyped peeps use to get over the whole "had to kill his whole squad"line.

i really need to do my paper but...

people, counter these
And bring it back up top, remove the fake king of New York
You show off, I count off when you sample my voice

This is where Nas claims to be cashing in on Jay's use of his sample.

O really

 
when i was 13 i thought Nas won, just based off the fact he said "eminem murdered you on your own $%!%" then I had to write a paper my senior yearon the Jay vs Nas beef. I went back and revisted all the songs that were involved, and after analyzing the situation....its obvious Jay won. And honestly imnot even that big of a Jay fan (i think he is way to overrated) but dude DID win. Nas was super childish. Not to mention half if not all of Ether was a lie.man i remember 9th grade history class how upset i was when we were studying Rockefeller. I raised my hand and was like "but sir i thought rockefellerdied of aids." my teacher gave me the

^they met each other for the first time in 91 on tour with Large Professor, "Partner I'm still spending money from 88" & "Back in 88when I was pushin weight" 88 seems like it was a important" year for him, as far as the second line goes, Reasonable Doubt? Can I Live? DeadPresidents video shoot?

Rockefeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter

^yeah I don't like that line as well, that and "whiskers like a rat" are the only two things I don't like about Ether, and "KRS alreadymade a album called Blueprint first"

That this Gay-Z and Cockafella Records wanted beef

^lol uh a 2pac sample, "Mobb Sleep & Notorious P.I.G." quite obvious buddy
 
How you compare Jay wearin Hawain shirts to Nas wearing African attire . . . Thats the foundation of every article of clothing to this day. Hip hop fans arejust plain old stupid . . . But what else is new
