"Smarten up, Nas" and "Four albums in ten years, nikka? I can divide" are two of Jay's all-time best lines.
"Ether" just ended up being a nuke that Jay couldn't respond to if he tried. The third verse alone made it impossible.
I was just thinking this.
Takeover is a better song than Ether to me and really was a better Prodigy diss than Nas diss. But Ether focused entirely on Jay.
So I get it, Nas got the better of Jay in their battle, but Takeover is a better record than Ether.
Moe Dee was ahead of his time with the Treacherous. You hear a lot of influence on Kane in his style. His song with Kane going back and forth was extreme lyricism and they did it with Jazz legends that most are no longer here with us.I thought similarly about Dre Day and Real MF G’z.
Dre Day is a little better overall but Real MF G’z definitely has better disses.
I liked Kool Mee Dee’s disses towards LL more than vice versa, but LL’s songs were better. It was the early 90s and KMD was still rapping like it was 1984.
Never forget Jay was ducking 50 on Takeover.
Nas and 50 both ethered Hov
I just pictured this in my head andWhat they did to Prodigy was the equivalent of Jay winning a royal rumble to the point of only having Nas left to fight, Prodigy running down the ramp from backstage only to get KO’d from a chair Jay threw outside the ring, then Nas getting pushed over the rope and being saved because he was able to land on and jump off a recovering Prodigy, and get back in the ring lol.
P my nikka but it was still funny that he was the only one to get shyt on by both Jay and Nas lol.

What's the difference, Jay and Nas got dissed by all three as well. (And Nas had Biggie going at him on top).
word, not to speak ill of the deceased, but Prodigy got dissed by both Jay AND Nas, and before that 2pac dissed him
everybody takes L's, but Prodigy arguably took the worst, I mean you get dissed by Pac, Jay, AND Nas, lmao
