Full Post-Ether Interview with an Emotional Jay Z on Hot 97

[grazazaza]

Its 2013 and you nikkas are still talkin about Ether

2015 and we still are

Nas's stans are in full force These bustas acting like Nas didn't get emotional during the battle. Nas trying to hang a fake Jay-z in the summer jam screen is proof that he caught mad feelings from Takeover and Superugly.












That nikka Nas didn't handle SuperUgly too well

Still no daps
Yikes

Jay sounded hurt ... He made himself look like the loser out of it

His response on the radio was the worse part of it for him. The song itself is ehhhh. But calling it "vulgar" was weird...it's a diss song, whats it supposed to be?

I think I understand NAS stans now and why day don't understand the greatness in HOV.

It relates to the type of person you are Jay speaks to the hustlers individuals with ambition. NAS I think Jay described it best when saying "nikka you ain't live it, you witnessed from yo folks pad, you scribbled it in your notepad and create your life"

Some people just ain't go getters

Takeover the better song, Ether the better diss.

If Jay was a better actor he could have cut the margin, but that shyt got him.

It's easy for us to sit here and be like why is dude like that, but real talk, I'd probably lose it too if there was a song out there for the world to hear which completely destroys me. shyt, I don't wanna admit it...but I'd be asking Flex for extended bombs just so I could keep it together. I wouldn't even give Angie the time though.

Take over isn't even the better song either

Nothing is better than listening to this live and just being there during the whole battle. "Ether" and NaS won cause Jay and a lot of people in Hip Hop were too quick to write NaS off. This interview was great cause it was proof that "Ether" won. He had to apologize for "Super Ugly" (Pop sh!t apologize N!gga) and he had to admit that the diss affected him emotional. We know now that "Hit em Up" affect Big emotionally also but at that time we didn't see it (Notorious movie depicted it well though). We got to see Jay was affect. "Ether" was just too strong. It's funny that still till this day you hear that same defense like it was 2002 again, "Takeover is a better song". Look, Jay got Mobb no doubt but his bars at NaS were like he said "Opinion". "Ether" had more facts. He used Pac and Big's Legacy against him.

The beef was brewing for years. But I think the sh!t hit the fan when NaS heard Bleek and Jay's "What you think of that". Where Jay was using "Like" after everything. Then NaS hit Bleek on "NaStradamus". Then there was the "Eye for an Eye and Stillmatic" freestyles. Then the Summer Jam screen. It's a really deep and detail beef. In my view only Big and Pac was bigger cause of how deep the beef went. Rumors are AZ tried to stop it before it escalted but NaS wasn't trying to hear it at the time. (Remember AZ was in the Dead President Video with Big and Jay). It's almost sad cause NaS wanted to be #1 but forming an allance with Big, Jay would of been huge back then. Oh well. Jay Lost, anyone saying otherwise wasn't there.

But he did rebound with "The Black Album". BP2 was a damn mess and it was clear "Ether" was still having an effect. NaS came back strong after "STILLmatic" with "The Lost Tapes" and "God Son" then he kinda slip with "Street's Disciple". I'm very happy they were men and moved on from their differences something Big nor Pac got to do. As someone who's a fan of both I'm happy they are cool now cause you it shows you negativity can turn to positivity. So Jay will probably end up higher than NaS on the all time list cause of success and the history he made. But NaS will always have that cold Decemeber in 2001 when he dropped that Nuke Bomb on Jay and then drop another bomb on Hip Hop with "STILLmatic". So in the end, they needed each other. The Beef revitalized NaS and the Beef humbled Jay and made him a better artist. I love these two brothers and they carried the torch of Big and Pac's Legacy. Honestly the most powerful lines in Ether was him using Big Legacy against Jay:

"Biggie's ya man and you got the nerve to say that you better than Big, D!ck suckin lips won't you let the late great veteran live"

"How much of Biggie's rhymes is going to come out yo Fat Lips".

The Pac sample was viscous also.

Nah Nas is going to end up higher In the all time list
