now that im older i can finally say that Ether is the GOAT diss track. I used to have No Vaseline as number one but the Ether shyt just continues to burn. Alot of diss tracks are still entertaining for what their worth, I still laugh when I hear Hit Em up, The Bridge Is Over still bumps, bytch In Yoo still has some nice jabs, Takeover has a good beat, 50 and Ja had some good shots at each other, but Ether still burns.

The fact that these jigga warriors still cant accept it makes it all the more funny.

Ether is overrated as a song but its impact was huge. Whether you believe Jay or Nas won that battle, the biggest victor was Nas career. He was all but done after Nastradamus. Going toe to toe with the biggest rap star out brought him back.

Very true. But at the same time, paradoxically, I think Ether greatly helped Jay's career as well. Sure, he was on top at the time but the Nas battle cemented both their positions as a part of the hip hop history, as a duo like Big & Pac. If Nas had come weak, it wouldn't have been a real battle and Jay would be less a part of hip hop history somehow.

Can't y'all, see that he's fake, the rap version of TD jakes
Prophesizing on your CDs and tapes

Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith?
I put dollars on mine, ask Columbine
When the Twin Towers dropped, I was the first in line
Donating proceeds off every ticket sold
When I was out on the road, that's how you judge Hov, no?
Ain't I supposed to be absorbed myself?
Every time there's a tragedy, I'm the first one to help
They call me this misogynist, but they don't call me the dude
To take his dollars to give gifts at the projects
These dudes is all politics, depositing checks
they put in they pocket, all you get in return is a lot of lip
And y'all buy the shyt, caught up in the hype
Cause the nikka wear a coofie, it don't mean that he bright
Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice
It just means you don't understand all the bullshyt that he write
Is it "Oochie Wally Wally" or is it "One Mic"?
Is it "Black Girl Lost" or shorty owe you for ice?

I've been real all my life, they confuse it with conceit
Since I will not lose, they try to help him cheat
But I will not lose, for even in defeat
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

And I'ma let karma catch up to Jaz-O, whoa
I'm back before you had a chance to miss me
My mama can't save you this time, nikkas is history
Who you know flow vicious as me?
Yet so religiously, that's why they call me Hov
I get the spoils cause the victor is me (me, nikka)
You're an actor, you're not who you're depicted to be
The street dreamin, all y'all nikkas living through me
I gave you life when nikkas was forgetting you emcee

I'm a legend, you should take a picture with me
You should be happy to be in my presence, I should charge you a fee
I'm Big Dog, Glenn Rob, listen God you a flea
And the little homey Jungle is a garden to me
What's the problem B? You not as hard as me
nikka hard as we, nikka R O C, nikka
That's why they follow me, they feel my pain and my agony, nikka
I won't rest till you on one knee
You want war then it's war's gonna be, nikka
Until you on one knee, you want war then it's war's gonna be, nikka
