"Ether" vs. "Takeover"

Specifically both choruses are sooooo fuckin weak.

"takeover" rocks excuse me

it's better than Ether, but it's too long and the "LAAAAAAME" choir is... lame

"Takeover" is an actual fun good song with a memorable beat and hook that I actually listen to for outside of its context as a dis record
I can't imagine listening to "Ether" for pleasure
otm

still "Takeover"

and yet everybody I know IRL votes Nas, even my best friend.

Genuinely thought this was a Gang of Four vs. Bad Brains thread

xpost- everyone you know irl is wrong lol

lol Boring

i wonder what in-his-prime Jay-Z woulda done (if anything) with all of Nas's "King's Disease albums"

that's a two arthritic diseases every ten year average

Ofc ether gets ethered; the real challops is that takeover is the only good song on the blueprint

lol damn fine challop there as i just had to delete a longass post about how wrong it is

"ether" isn't and never was a good song. it's vicious, sure, but if you remove the homophobia there are maybe four bars left

slowly loading up this ammo
To explode it on a camel

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

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