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

[JQ Legend]

Think about somebody in your profession/craft/whatever that you truly admire, and this person has had a real influence on how you do what you do...

Putting all the financial success aside, you want this person to respect you as an ARTIST like him (not all that fake "I like him because he is a good businessman/hustler garbage), basically your soul needs this person to validate your craft, and put his stamp of approval on it...You need this happen...

So you make attempts to collaborate and break bread with your "artistic hero," and you have all money in the world to make this happen...

Unfortunately, this person rejects you...Over time you become bitter, and when you reach the height of your popularity in the game, you start thinking to yourself, "F+ck him, I am rich, I am the hottest thing right now, I can destroy this person, everybody loves me"

So, You go on a full out war with this person, and instead of you getting the best of him, he exposes your true identity, and the useless motive for this beef...

He reminds you that even with all the financial success you have, he is still your father, and he can spank you whenever he wishes, because ARTISTICALLY, you are still not on his level, and to make matters worse, the public agrees with him...

To understand why "Ether" is so effective, you have to think about it this way...

Look at what is happening with the Muslims and Jews, it is because of "Ether" a.k.a rejection from somebody you admire and respect...

Have you read "The Great Gatsby" that's another example of why the theme of "Ether" is so effective...

Have you watched "Casino" DeNiro was in love with Sharon Stone's character and willing to give her everything she wanted, but she rejected him for some no good loser, again, this why the theme of "Ether" is so effective...

If you don't understand why "Ether" is so "vulgar" and demoralizing, thank your fortune, because people who have felt it know how deeply it hurts...

It burns the soul...

Which side is resentful because of the respect and admiration they have/had for the other side? The Muslims or the Jews?

I absolutely fukkin love ether and what it did especially since i was able to witness it back when it first dropped and the excitement from everyone when it dropped. The reactions were epic.

camel jockeys always try to down play it by saying that it was over 10 years ago but I don't give a shyt. I can talk about ether all day everyday and I probably will be still reminiscing for the next 30 years about it. the shyt was that great.

i swear ether completely burned jay's soul got him doing techno music these days

if ether was a girl i'd fukk the shyt out of her

Fantasize bout fukking Nas songs brehs

 

[JQ Legend]

your entitled to your opinion, but its a horrible one
almost everybody agrees that super ugly minus a couple lines is garbage. huge downgrade from takeover and a even worst response to ether. he shoulda just took the round 1 L, and dropped a proper response on blueprint 2.

takeover was no where near damaging as ether, im starting to think your a jay stan. there wasnt any cheerleading, jay had the machine behind him and just dropped a classic. most ppl wanted him to win, angie sounded depressed as fukk reading the results and hot 97 had a takeover show in his honor. it was just a unanimous decision W for nas

and again, nas was salty and emotional at hot 97 for playin favourites. we all no if jay wanted to hang nas, there would be NO issue

How did Nas win round 1?

Round 1 was Stillmatic “freestyle” vs the Takeover verse, that shyt was a landslide victory for Hov

The battle was pretty much over by the time Ether dropped

If anything round 2 was Ether vs Super Ugly and Nas got that one

Round 3 would have been LRNA vs Blueprint 2 title track and Hov got that one

You Got Dementia?

Nah I’m just old enough to actually remember 2001

Also I’m a huge fan of both therefore have no reason to be biased and/or rewrite history

Hov called Nas out at Summet Jam

Nas respond with Stillmatic “freestyle”

Hov respond with Takeover

Everyone says Nas got destroyed and people consider the battle to basically be done especially since Nas said nothing for months

Nas drops Ether 3 months later

What part about that am I wrong about?

Ether not only discombobulate Bubble Lip Jay but it had have effect on his fans also

Only I’m just as big of a fan of Nas as I am of Hov

I was one of the only people still fukkin with Nas from 99-01 when people counted him out

One of my first negs on this site was because I called Nastradamus a classic and I still call it one till this day

There technically were at least 2 maybe 3 rounds to this battle. Nas got the clear victory in round 2 Ether vs Superugly but Hov bodied him that first round. If you count BP2 vs LRNA, Hov got that one too

Oh and

nah. You also got the timeline and the way things happened wrong. Bleek took a shot, nas replied on queensbridge 2000 dissing bosses and lieutenants. Then jay told nas to ask him if he want it. Then nas dropped the freestyle and jay did takeover. Bleek got gassed into thinking nas was taking shots at him.
