People saying Takeover is better have revisionist history. I was there! Born and raised in philly. The DJ’s were stunned when Ether dropped. Like they couldn’t believe Nas came out swinging like that. It’s all you heard that year. It’s not a knock to Jay, but everyone raised Nas hand as the winner in the beef. Ether is a verb now, that’s how hard it was.
Hate the debate. Takeover was just a line at Nas. Bar for bar....Super Ugly destroy Ether....its just the initial impact, production and exposure put Ether on top.
@city 277 jay stole the whisper flow from chris. Especially American Gangster era. Wudnt be surprised if Chris's pen worked some of that. I know Chris ghost writes for puff son
You sound stupid.... Jay didn't get bodied. Everything Jay said was factual.... Nothing now sitting that song was factual except for Jay having big lips come on bruh get your mind right
Chris is 1 of the biggest unsung what if stories in hip-hop history. He had all the tools to be a top tier rap superstar. I personally think if Ye wasn't Ye then Hov would've invested more into launching Chris.
Chris was to loyal. He tells the story Jay and Dame seperately said your solo up next in he told them he want to do another young gunz first in that flopped.

Everyone knows Ether hits harder. Takeover was a nuke bomb no doubt. But Ether was like the full arsenal nuke retaliation. The rap game went Def silence when Ether dropped. It was real eery out there. Like Vanilla Sky type shit.
@@underconstruction778 jay ain't say shit in that diss that hasnt been done so how he cross a flagrant line. Yall be so passionate about this but don't even realize for both, it was about capitalizing on the moment. All jay did was expand on the facts he already eluded to, when he did super ugly. Taking advantage of the focus around the 2 artists. Marketing. Same as nas with ether being the intro to stillmatic. It was all marketing strategy to capitalize on the moment.

@@100rosesart8 That's why Nas won. He purposely didn't go lyrical on ether because he wanted to win the battle. Takeover was basic too. That last verse on takeover wasn't even necessary and was just a bunch of words
Y’all gotta break the whole song down lol the reason why Jayz was on the radio crying and apologizing because he went into Jay soul. He pretty much called him his son throughout the whole song. Jayz was Nas biggest fan and Nas used that against him
@@100rosesart8 ethers lyrics were REAL. Only thing is jay really got money and went thru all that shit with emory etc. and nas took like a half of bar on him not selling drugs.
Jay z need to be ashamed of himself for stealing this young man’s rapping style. That’s why I feel he’s terribly overrated. He stole a little bit from every prominent rapper that was hot at the time.
Can not forget the "comeback kid" Nasir Jones. At the time.. mother passed, Jay is playing chess with tracks like "Is That Your Bitch" & "Takeover" (Took on the WHOLE ROC by himself!!!) WHILE.. QBridge is saying he changed up. What does he do.. Stillmatic freestyle & Stillmatic Album 😱10/10 💯💯💯
I’m a much bigger nas fan than I am of jigga man. But I give it to takeover. That track was so hard plus it lit a much needed fire under Nas ass and he came back in a real way.
@@bdk1947 To me Takeover was a catalyst to resurrect Nas more than *anything. Also, Hov messing with Carmen was a serious chess move. Hov is much more strategic than Nas. I love Nas though.
I'm from st.louis and when that ether dropped, Jay z was done. Nothing he could have said could have brought him back from that ether. Everywhere you went it was that ether playing. Everybody was like, it just ain't no coming back from that. Whe. He said, ask me am I trying to kick knowledge? Nah, I trying to kick that shit you need to learn though, that ether that shit that make your soul burn slow. I played that bar like 40 times then going to the next bar.
@@BL77357 i mean if jay z your favorite rapper than I expect you to say that. I don't have a dog in the fight. I never listened to either one of their music like that so I was not biased. Nas just murdered him

ETHER IS DOPE BC IT HITS HEAVIER ON THE EARS BUT THE MORE YOU LISTEN TO WHAT JAY WAS SAYING ON TAKEOVER IT AGES LIKE FINE WINE. JAY-Z FREE-STYLED ON THAT JOINT TOO
Not only that everything Jay said was facts! Most of nas stuff was made up. I remember MTV broke down both songs with proof most of nas song was word just to match!
I always thought Jay just gave the Young Gunz 2 verses because he was retiring. 21 years later I found out something new about BP2. Jay was setting up Chris for his solo career but unfortunately it never happened under Roc-A-Fell/Def Jam.
How?lol.That was made up..Nas wouldnt even do a song with EM becasue he cherry pics his battle.He eard BIG flow on gimmie the loot remix and left never coming back..
Chris s real one after all these years still holding Jay down knowing damn well Jay took his whole flow. I can say that as a major J fan. That I wish Chris would get his flowers.
Man the Good Ole' Days! THE ROCK WAS HOT 🔥 🔥🔥. Jay-Z, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, State Property, The Diplomats. Philly & NY was the whole East Coast Rap.
That’s why the whole battle always been a little weird to me. Ether was all about Jay. Of course Nas is going to win because there’s more shots at Jay on Ether. Takeover has a verse about Nas. Do you think anybody is beating Nas with 1 verse if Nas do a whole song?! Matter fact… no good rapper should lose a battle if they put a whole song out against your 1 verse. You just spit 3 sixteens bout me. This back when everyone did 3 verses. I only said 16 bars about you on the track. Come on B!! 🤦🏾♂️
@@frankyb0y I'm probably the only person on earth to NEVER like Ether. I don't wanna hear about Jay's lips and how ugly he is. Don't know where you from but in the city Nas was dead. That's why it took him 3 months to respond.
I dunno the fact that jay pretty much half assed the diss attempt in takeover kinda speaks volumes that it can still be compared with ether-something Nas poured his entire heart and soul into. I’m biased tho been a jay fan since 5 and my pops wasn’t rocking with Nas as a Brooklyn dude. Jay z said a lot of conscious thought provoking stuff so I never understood why people gave the distinction to Nas even after listening to both they work over my 30 year life.
YOU CORRECT. HE SHOULD'VE PURE HIS HEART INTO THE DISS HE SHOULD'VE DONE THAT STUDY NAS REAL CAREFULLY. BECAUSE YOU GOTTA GO TO WAR WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT
Takeover wasnt some half ass diss attempt. Jay went in and tried to end Nas on the verse aimed at him. Then Jay embarrassed himself after he heard ether and came out with that lame superugly joint. Jay underestimated nas. Period.
I never understood the love for Ether because I think it’s a bad diss and record overall but I was a kid when he came out and apparently it’s one of those “you had to be in the moment” type things. Takeovers literally is literally a better track.
I like the Takeover beat better but it was a combination of things. People thought Nas was done. Jay was bigger. Dominating. Nobody expected Nas to come off the ropes like that. It was so scathing and vicious it just shocked everybody

Ether just hit hard! It was just one of the moments when u knew exactly what u was doing when u first heard it! Takeover ain’t no slouch tho
I was maybe 8 when I first heard Ether. I stole my brother’s Nas CDs and played it on my stereo in my room. Been hooked on that song since
Nas only got 1 verse out of Takeover's 3 verses. It was trash. Ether fcked jay up. That's why went personal on superugly. Garbage.

Take over is my beat. I proposed the sample to some dudes from Hartford Connecticut.
It’s Ron browz
Ether is definitely the better song but we’ll never see Nas perform that song but Jay-Z still performs the beginning of Takeover
ether isnt a performable song..lol
