Ill never admit Jay lost to the better record,but will admit he lost due to bad timing and poor decision making.....but song for song,line for line...Takeover is just too scathing and more scathing than anything on Ether...just that one verse alone
...Nas caught us off guard,I don't know where that disgusted delivery he bought out on Ether came from
....he pulled a Jay on Jay,Jay wuz the king of that disgusted talkin down on nikkas delivery.....but its no competetion,the concepts Jay wuz bringing and how he wuz flippin shyt nas said back on Nas,Nas couldn't do that.....Jay wuz too clever with his disses,and too eager to jump back in and reply on sum I'm cool shyt....he wuz like a boxer gettin hit with a lucky punch and falling to the canvas,who tries to hop back up quick with the
like it wuz nothing....had he just stayed down and let the refs get that count in,he's clearly the better boxer and woulda outclassed Nas and beat that azz...instead u get up too quick and u look wobbly and the ref stops the fight....Jay taught nikkas a lesson tho,it ain't all just about the better bars but about timing and fan perception too...so at the end of the day whenever u can teach the youth you did win
