I gave you life when nikkas forgot you emcee'd

hardest line of the whole beef
too bad it was on a tragedy of an album... telling double platinum rappers pre-takeover that they gave them life is just as ridiculous as him daring Nas to Ether him

One of my fav Jay albums, aside from a few tracks. Jay was rapping his ass off and the beats were good.

Better than any Jay album post Black Album except for American Gangster

Nas got under Hov’s skin so bad with Ether that his ego made him make a double album so folks would praise him the same way we praised Pac and Biggie when they did it. :pachaha:

There were a lot of good ass records on this album. But there are a shytload of filler…if it was condensed to 16 tracks it would be looked at a lot differently. Hence why they released 2.1

Honestly that whole album is Hov in his feelings. He was THAT mad his city felt Nas one upped him..

That’s why he said “Yeah my next album is my last one!” :russ:

This thread is lacking without the Austin Powers imitations he was doing. "Oh behave". He was flowing on the album and it's one of his best lyrically, but it's an overall mess of an album with lyricism and flows drowned in cornices.

“Some people hate” is up there with “Ghetto Techno” as one of the worst songs ever made

Should've been a regular (single) LP. A LOT of misses on this one.

Here's the songs - ignoring arrangement - that I would've kept. Keeping in mind that, essentially, two of them are remixes.
  1. "Hovi Baby"
  2. "The Watcher 2"
  3. "Excuse Me Mis"
  4. "All Around the World"
  5. "Poppin' Tags"
  6. "F*ck All Nite"
  7. "U Don't Know (Rmx)"
  8. "Some How, Some Way"
  9. "Some People Hate"
  10. "Blueprint 2"
  11. "N!gga Please"
  12. "2 Many Hoes"
  13. "Show You How"
  14. "B!tches & Sisters"
you would leave Meet The Parents off...you're a wild one for that

No one mentioned Young Chris getting sonned on his nikka Please feature.

"I got wannabes that wanna be me that sound better than you "

Its no secret, Jay bit the entire fukk out of Chris and em. I swear dude went to North Philly for one day and came back talking about "drawlin", "yah mean", "Brodied", and "jawn" while Bleek and em like :why:
