As much as I like MTG ya'll going a little overboard and just getting swept up in the entire boogey man campaign.

If it's about 'impact' how tf did that have more impact that HEU or No Vasaline? More than Takeover? nikkas front on it now, but that how bomb was lit was an event.

I'm sick of these crack baby music nerd nikkas who have little to no context in regards to shyt they talk about full throatedly.

Here we go overrating ether again.


Ether had Jay’s own crew saying he lost. Dame Dash, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and Freeway have all said Ether got them.

Ether is at worst a top 3 diss song of all time. Its become a hip hop verb. If anything the impact and influence of Ether can’t be stated enough.

Amd again that's thanks to this era. Literally every song on a streaming platform is a single because everybody has access to it. Without radio, buying the single, or an album, the songs "NLU" is being compared to wouldn't get the airplay. "Ether" didn't even have a video.
U can’t talk sense to nikkas wit dikks in they mouth.

Bro I don’t need a dissertation for this shyt. It’s literally not a fair comparison because of the state of the industry at this point. None of this shyt is grass roots. This is why the whole shyt was a joke to me from the start. Two extremely industry nikkas playing extremely industry games. Not my cup of tea. Way too corporate. This is why I wanted Cole involved. He’s the only one out of the 3 who shyt is basically organic. Never had the corporate backing Drake had. Never had the critical backing Kendrick had. And is the only one of the 3 that seems to be actually concerned with getting better at what he does. Son deserved a win and instead turned that shyt into his biggest L.
Now thats again one of your very subjective comments, because the only one that is actually improving is Kendrick lol...
I get that you have your own favorite artist and you want them to keep improving, and it must be sad for you to see that it's not the case... I get it :yeshrug:

So it's all good if Cole is "more concerned with getting better" but fact is he just isn't. And if he was, he would the critical backing you're talking about.
But keep enjoying the stuff that you like, just don't come up with fake narrative trying to find a logical explanation as to why the music that you personally enjoy isn't getting the praise or the love you think it deserves.

The real question is; will a diss song ever surpass Not Like Us? doubt it, most damaging diss song ever witnessed and shyt was all organic until the label realized it was already a certified hit :whew:


No promotion either, just a link in a tweet :wow:

It's between Not Like Us and Ether imo and I don't give a fukk about sales and impact. I only care about the actual songs. Grats to NLU for having that never heard before impact, and grats to Ether for being included in the dictionary but I don't care about none of that.

Not Like Us is the smartest and funniest diss song I've ever heard and Ether is the most vicious diss track I've ever heard.

Kendrick's ability to incorporate satir and humor in his songs (with his writing, intonation and performance) is a thing of beauty, dude smartly turned Drake into a laughing stock and that is one of the most damaging things that could ever happen to somebody. I could see Kendrick having a one man show tbh.

That’s a lie.

A “Stan” of xyz is one thing, irrational is another. I’m far from irrational, I try to make sure you can follow my logic even if you disagree.

I stand on my opinions without trying to cast them onto everyone else the vast majority of the time.

There is nothing measured about saying MTG > ether, takeover ect. Not impact or quality wise, neither is boasting about “music critic proof” music.

He ain't even listening to the songs tbh :dead:

He even praised Drake for a bar that was nullified and predicted by Kendrick on the very first song of the battle, thats how I knew he was commenting without listening :dead:.

If you praise drake for a bar that was nullified by Kendrick, you gotta praise kendrick for having a direct reference to that shyt before the other dude even released his song lol
