If Jay stupid ass would have went at Nas in all three verses of Takeover instead of just the last, he coulda stood a chance

P. Town · May 2012

'Ether' was wack. A bunch of schoolyard jokes and statements Nas couldn't back up. Jay said some shit on 'Super ugly' and then Nas baby mama followed the shit up by writing a book about it and admitting it. Now that's real Ether

Y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches
What's sad is I love you 'cause you're my brother
You traded your soul for riches
My child, I've watched you grow up to be famous
And now I smile like a proud dad, watching his only son that made it
You seem to be only concerned with dissing women
Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?
Well life is hard, hug me, don't reject me
Or make records to disrespect me, blatent or indirectly

this right here was the illest part for me idk why

``What´s sad is I love you ´cause you´re my brother`` that line right there was just higher science.Deep as the universe b.

``You traded your soul for riches`` that line I think that hurt jay the most because it showed how jay always pop that negative rap and never made a song about uplifting black people.

Takeover was ass. Didn't know it existed til I started looking into why Nas dropped Ether.

PanchoYoSancho · May 2012

That beef was probably the greatest thing to happen to Nas. From the failure critically and commercially that was 'Nastradamus', the "Takeover" looked like it was gonna be the final nail in the coffin. But then Nas came out with the biggest bitch slap of all time that was "Ether" and followed with arguably the second best album of his career, Stillmatic. He's been rollin ever since.

Thank you Jay-Z for re-igniting the fire of one of, if not the GOAT.

It has been 11 years, Nas stans should find something recent to celebrate, unless....you know

Ear2DaSt · May 2012

I think alot of kats tried to beef wit jay but very few really benefited!

DR. JEK · May 2012

Honestly (and Im gonna say this again) I think I look at takeover as more of an effective Mobb Deep Diss than a Nas one. That's how bad Nas came back and crushed Takeover. I actually got a kick outta superugly (I thought the open bottles with the chipped tooth line was cool) but the premise of that particular diss which was to say I fucked your bitch was rendered helpless due to the fact that Ether made it seem like Jay was the type of Nas Stan that wanted to do everything Nas did and even fuck the same women. Then Blueprint 2 came out and I dont get what everybody sees in it and why they think that shoulda been the Ether Responce. If you really listen to the joint, It sounds like he's whinning the whole song and he's got this tone and vibe like he's mad at the New York Fans for voting for Ether. Nothing but bitterness and sour grapes coming from the guy rather than effective insulting lines! Jay Stans please give me some insight on this because I dont understand why Nas just dominating your boy aint common knowlege based off what was spit from both guys.

I said this in other threads but the thing with Ether was he dismantled Jay's character and it affected Jay's confidence and kind of humbled him to a point. At the time Jay was cocky as hell. He still talked alot shit but he seemed to be a bit more humbled after Ether dropped. He def got more introspective in his music. I think what really hurt him was the vote Hot 97 did where Nas ended up winning the poll. That was supreme "Ether" because at the time Jay thought he was the shit and Nas was washed up. Obviously that was not the case. Anyone notice this?

lol at you saying "anyone notice this" at the end like it aint basically what happened in the open. But yeah that New York Vote is what dented one career and saved another.

It would've been interesting if Jay followed ether with blueprint 2 instead

This^^^^^^^^^

if he would've came back with that it might've been a problem for Nas even though the ether bomb dismantled Jay's ego blueprint 2 was ill and he was really going in on Nas.

Ether hit all of Jays insecurities and said the same shit his critics were saying and folk were thinking... It humble Jay and hurt his self esteem

clairascanbe · May 2012

No it didnt humble him "Its no biggie, heh im just a king now"(2010 snoop I wanna rock remix) and then Nas saying "hiphop needs to thank GOD for jay-z" if jay's ego wasnt big enough already.....

TheFix · May 2012

Second Button From The Right. Carry On. Thanks Nas.

redhandedbandit · May 2012

you a fake a phony a pussy a stan

Ear2DaSt · May 2012

I just like da song I don't hate jay-z!

BobOblah · May 2012

you know you made a classic diss when people are still gettin emotional about it a decade later

DR. JEK · May 2012

Blueprint 2 was more evidence that Jay lost. I ain't tryna hear jay insulting the fans intellect cuz they voted for ether and him whinning about nas wearing a coofie. I liked super ugly better than that swing and a miss he called bp2. What's so good about that joint? And the austin powers shit in the hook made the song sound like its for fags and stupid as phuck.
