Ironically we just passed the 15th Anniversary of "Ether" a few months back. Remy went the F*ck in but if I'm being fair about this, Kim already bodied Nicki 7 years ago in 2010 on "Black Friday" but there were some bandwagon fans that were hating on Kim back then to try and pump up Nicki. Just as Remy dissed Nicki on "Ether" Beat because of the Queens connection with NaS. Kim did it first over the Pharaoh Monch Beat for "Simon Says", also Queens connection. Remy cover is similar to Kim's as well. Not sayin she copied but Kim clearly laid the foundation.
Kim had mad quotables too:
Who the fukk want war?
Fed-Ex beef straight to your front door.
It'll be a murder scene,
I'm turning Pink Friday to Friday the 13th.
Aight you Lil’ Kim clone clown,
All this buffoonery shyt stops now.
Time for you to lay down, I'm sick of the fraud,
I put hands on this bytch like a spa massage.
We all know your last name's what got you your job,
You's a put together gimmick, somethin’ like a collage.
Since you're putting on a show you gon’ get the applause -
Clap clap with your frame like a fukking garage (Yeaaaah)
This hood shyt, you and Drake ain't built for --
This the shyt the other bytch almost got killed for.
I'm still counting what Hard Core generated.
Bet my shyt keep spendin’ like a syndicated.
Corny broad, I leave you bloody like you menstruated.
You hot air ass bytch shoulda BEEN deflated.
This ain't a championship fight, I BEEN the greatest.
See the fact is... what you doin’, I did it.
You lames tryna clone my style and run wit it.
That's cool, I was the first one wit it -
You's a Lil’ Kim wannabe, you just hate to admit it.
I'm the blueprint; you ain't nothin' brand new,
Check your posters and videos,
you'll always be number two.
I seen ‘em come, I seen’ em go, still I remain.
Sweetie, you goin' on your 14th minute of fame,
I’m over 10 years strong still running the game
Cut the comparisons I’m in the legendary lane.
Fighting for a spot? Child please, I’m solidified.
With my hands tied, you couldn't beat me if you bytches tried.
Either you high or sippin’ that shyt Wayne on
I get top dollar for whateva my name on
Go stick your head in a tornado - brainstorm.
I drop bombs. Flex. Napalm.
Black and yellow, will pull up in your ghetto,
Giuseppes when I step out, post it up in stilettos.
p*ssy so pink like my Kitty sayin’ Hello,
If I whistle they’ll pistol whip you in all five boroughs.
I’m from Brooklyn, I be everywhere comfortably.
Now who pumped you and told you to come romp wit me?
You the type to run your mouth and then run from me
I’m poppin’ off in your hood wit no company.
Come on, Queens ain’t showin’ you no love,
I was there the other night poppin’ bottles with a thug.
You like Washington. Heifer, I’m Benji.
You got a buzz right now, and I had a frenzy.
Oh yeah, welcome to the fam… Fendi.
You needa stop, you’re not hot, you’re a burning match
That means the end is near soon, copy that?
Ho, I see...they really got you gassed
Like I’m a thing of the past.
Better slow down, dummy, you ‘bout to crash
STINK p*ssy HO! I’m giving you a bath,
Thermometer in hand and I’m comin’ for your ass.
Who you think you gettin’ past?
‘I see right through you,’ your whole shyt is made of glass.
[Snippet of Nicki Minaj’s "Right Thru Me" plays]
I draw back, I’m a Brooklyn Borough bytch,
Rep for my borough bytch,
Never been the type to have beef and try to settle shyt.
I ride out ‘til the wheels fall off
And my nikkas squeeze ‘til the last shell go off.
fukk your whole team, all I see is a bunch of weirdos.
You’s a airhead bytch... scarecrow.
Ha, ain’t nothing old ‘bout my money bytch. (Ha ha)
This is grown liquid assets.
Benjamin’s my daddy, you Young Money b*stards!
You and Diddy? Sorry, bunch of swaggerjackers.
I mothered you hos, I should claim you on my income taxes.
Bobby Fisch in the flesh, talk about a great.
So on my next move, I’m yelling checkmate.
I smell a massacre. I’m Charles Manson,
You don’t stand a chance wit her.
Jeffrey Dahmer, you lookin’ like lunch to me.
‘Bout to kill all you bytches like Ted Bundy.
Leave your whole head red like Peg Bundy.
You’re hilarious, thanks for all the laughs –
You’re garbage, so I’m taking out the trash.
You, shyt on me? C’mon baby girl...
Ain’t enough ass shots in the world!
You’re a nuisance, you’ll probably steal my new shyt
But you could never fukk with me, so chuck it up, deuces.
All around the world I ball like a ball team.
I stack chips, call me Mrs. Rothstein.
Tricks is for kids, silly rabbit, you’re my offspring.
Kim more anticipated than a LeBron ring. (Before he won his first title)
With all that said, Remy put an explanation point on this ish. I'm iffy on using the Ether beat, I understand Mixtape type Disses sometimes use Classic Beats or other people's beat. With that said I feel like Remy's approach using the "Ether" Beat is the same as the many emcees rapping over "Who Shot Ya" Beat. It's just a New York Diss beat now. Also interesting calling it "Shether" too. There were many Etherous lines as far as just going into Nicki whole situation. I'm still trying to compress the song but damn. Some people hate on this beat but Sh!t as always been hard and tough. I will say It's kind of long but she dissected her entire career and of course got personal with it.
I don't know all the details of this beef unlike the Kim situation which Nicki clearly bit and copied Kim's style but maybe there will be a resurgence of Female Emcees returning on the Scene. It's been a very long time since many of the 90's-00's Female Emcees were shutting the game down. But if you gonna rap on "Ether" Beat you gotta come with it and Remy did that so props to her. Nicki has had success, made a career and brand for herself in the last 8 years and good for her. There is nothing wrong with competition though and many other Female Emcees existed together even though sometimes they bumped heads. Lastly please don't compare this to the original or the Jay situation because there were different dynamics at play.
