Takeover all day.
Its not even close.
― Colin_C., Saturday, 25 August 2007 02:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I voted Takeover. 2 things the Ether-boosters need to remember:
- Takeover was at best like the 5th or 6th most popular song from its album, there's really not a whole lot Stillmatic worth remembering or talking about besides Ether
- the Hot 97 call-in vote that people usually cite as proof that Nas "won" was between Ether and Super Ugly, so of course Ether won. curious how it would've turned out between Takeover and Ether.

Me too. I've always liked how Jay uses the first verse to set himself up as an unassailable force before he starts calling names, between that and the beat, which is some knocking-down-the-doors (npi) shit, "Takeover" sounds overwhelmingly confident, whereas "Ether" sounds withdrawn and petty.

jay-z had but 2 good lines in that whole half-dope gayne west track jack (every song he produced is overshadowed by what he stole ftw)
― luriqua, Saturday, 25 August 2007 07:25 (sixteen years ago) link
al: rewind, one mic-- jay needs a ghost writer in light of those trx that nas never cld have writ unless he banged some smack
― luriqua, Saturday, 25 August 2007 07:26 (sixteen years ago) link
ether is better than any jay song except hard knock life cuz of the chorus, u fucktards
― luriqua, Saturday, 25 August 2007 07:27 (sixteen years ago) link
nobody interjects shit within the chorus. that shit's crazy as a motherfucker
even though it's all gastfaced and shit. nas and jay both suck ass
― luriqua, Saturday, 25 August 2007 07:28 (sixteen years ago) link
except d'evils and very select moments from illmatic.
stop im-ing yourself.

the best jay diss ever was this track jaz did a few years ago, i only foudn it on some weirdo jay z fan site that would post streams of everything in the world even tangentially related to rocafella. anyway fuck jaz broke it down pretty hard....he's probably like the most underrated rapper ever. i liked that kingz county thing he put out a few years ago.

Or actually, that's me several years ago talking. I don't trust any opinion I formed prior to the past couple years. I need to reevaluate.

Nas has been horrible for 24 years or so. The gross misogyny. The absence of humor. The guy is a cancer on hip hop.
