    The thing about Ether is when that record dropped it was hands down the number 1 requested song on the radio in NYC for a couple of weeks. Flex broke it and dropped a bomb on it on hot 97 and proceeded to play that song no less than 10 or 20 times straight. That song was the definition of an over kill and still one of the greatest hip hop diss records ever recorded.

He said Jay was calling him when he never gave him his number cuz he was sweating him and his style THEN he says Jay was getting chased to his building back then which is accurate. Jay grew up getting bullied until he started selling drugs later. Jay stans always claim that Takeover was more factual when all Jay did was give his opinion on Nas' career..."one hot album every ten years average?" WTF is that? It Was Written is universally considered a classic and it went 3X platinum. It was one of the 90s top albums. Plus, MC Serch is on record saying Nas got publishing money for Jay sampling his voice on Dead Presidents...so that was a lie too that Jay said. He lost...accept it cuz everyone else has, including Jay himself.

    And if we mentioned anything out of lyrics let's talk about how Jay-Z was a Nas groupie, and obsessed with Nas that he rapped like him, sampled him, got rejected by him and because Jay-Z was hurt by this even screwed his baby mother to feel more like him.

    I definitely agree with your war and battle commentary. I just hate that we compare Jay Z & Nas because to me they are completely different artists and people. Nas has a different love for music (due to his dad’s influence) and is held to a higher standard. When Nas puts out commercial songs, it’s the “Nas fell off”. But at the same time, Jay Z does several commercial songs and everyone loves it. Nas wasn’t trying to play the political games, hence why he hasn’t won a Grammy.
    Jay Z not getting signed to a label was his biggest blessing. He learned ownership, which made him the mogul he is today. Because of Jay-Z’s come-up story and current success, he gets more respect from all generations. When people talk about Jay Z, it’s beyond the music. Nas put out a “grown man” album (Life is Good) in 2012 and it was phenomenal, but rarely mentioned. But when Jay Z did it (4:44), everyone loved it. Nas is just ahead of his time and paved the way lyrically.

Nas out-boxed Hov in Ether but then came Carmen, and JayZ and Carmen, and Carmen talking about JayZ ; then Carmen comparing Nas to JayZ, then suddenly Ether seemed silly. The crowd went “ooooooooo” upon hearing Carmen. Then JayZ became a boss at Def Jam and out-ranked Nas; then JayZ saw a billion and Ether got even weaker. Hov won the war.

      💯 Facts, but of course this was all pre-social media, RUclips etc. days! These were the days when radio play could make or break you and records were physically sold which called for 💰 & lots of effort put in by the artist and their team. This is 1 reason why J sold more than Nas who even mentioned it several times throughout the documentary (J payed 4 plays and favor at the stations). You can basically do everything from your home today if you wanted to. Different times, different rules to the game.

      Wayne. Have you ever actually listened to Takeover bcos lyrically it's streets ahead of Ether. And I say that as someone who jumped on the ether bandwagon and thought Nas slayed him. In retrospect Jay had the better diss track. But at the same time if the public feels you won then you kind of did win. Nas was declared Victor but by questionable decision....

Remember Hov got tested Trials, Weapons Charges and it seemed like around that time Nas and the Whole Queensbridge including Mobb Deep (another personal favorite) was coming at Jay-Z, and he dissected them individually, by Himself on one song.
      Even if he lost in Some Peoples Minds, I respect Jay-Z for always holding his own. At That time Nas and Queensbridge were Giants in the game, Jay Z just had his little Rocawear lol, but he didnt back down. Big Props👑
