It's crazy that Nas dropped Ether on Jay's birthday... Imagine Jay Z going to the club to celebrate his birthday and, and the DJ keeps playing Ether, and people are rocking to it. That's some Art of War sh*t
Exactly.....you can't just be an artist, you gotta be a tactical thinker
😂😂😂
Nas is very smart and strategic to this day he killed em all the way around
💣😮
@@jamesgibson3716 Some real von Clausewitz level of psychological warfare. 😂
Now knowing what Nas was going through with his mom having cancer and then passing away, having to put out albums and people coming for him and beefs played out in public, I can only imagine what the first 2 versions sounded like cause the version we got to hear was vicious
Amazing comment 🏆
I want to hear the original recordings that Large P made him tone down.. LOL
Tha label asked him to remake it cuz it was too harsh. He mentioned tha incident with Jay & Big Pun. He allegedly said sumin about Dame Dash being on tha plane crash ( Aaliyah )
The lyrics are on UA-cam
Even Rakim and Kool G Rap said when Nas played them the original version it left them speechless.
They made Nas rewrite Ether...3 times....just imagine what he was saying on the first 3 ... 💣
Jay Z still better in every way imaginable
Just another 6 mins of name calling probably
@@trapmuzik6708 not even close
I wanna here the original original before they made him change it. Khia can’t even go in that hard 🥳
They say that Swizz Beatz produced it and that Nas said that it was him and Dame that should have died in that plane crash and not Aaliyah.
To experience what Ras Kass experienced that is something that is rare in Hip Hop.

Exactly 💯 💯
That'll be made into a TRUE HIP HOP documentary in the future..
Nas is the goat. His king disease 1 and 2 and his latest magic album are 🔥.
Facts 💯
Str8 Herbs
Especially the magic album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts. Only legend that stands the test of time to this day, still out rapping everybody.
For me " Magic " top 5 Nas albums , very hard decision
It was pretty clear back then that Nas won imo
Very
Right
Wrong
@@lemule2744 yea, Ether was dead wrong
Jay was kicking that man while he was down literally. His mother was very sick & he had this drama going on with his babies mother. He was asking for it.
So Jay selling records, doing tours, having his own personal life and concern about how is Nas mentally? They were jabbing at each other for years and Jay takeover at Hot97 only said - ask Nas he don't want it with Hov. Nas jump out the window freestyles.
@@tyronetillet619in other words, egos.
@@kenjordan954 exactly
Facts!💯
Nas was dissing him at the same time on nastrdamaus album in 1999. And on we will survive on I AM album.. so they been going back and forth. Don't get caught up in a hype that nas says.... Jay-Z loved nas.. but they were arch rivals in rap..
Nas bodied jay so viciously 😂😭😂
He sure did!!!
Exactly i remember hearing Jay cry on radio on angie Martinez show
Nas' original ether verses would've massacred Jay Z a whole lot worse
Everyone knows Nas killed it with Ether and won the battle. Period
Agreed!
Nah
Takeover was better
Takeover is a good song. Ether is a better diss record imo
@@benaveli bar 4 bar Nas was better. Takeover was a good song though…
DJ had some balls on him to play it lol. He must have known Jay-Z there. Can't even blame Jay for reacting like that either. That song was vicious
Lmao Jay was embarrassed when that F Jayz came on.
Oh well lol,I mean Kwamé went through it when the dj played big's unbelievable with the line "your life's played out like Kwamé and those fucking poke a dots and the whole club looked at him like oooh🤣🤣🤣 Kwamé my boy but I know that had to sting, but he didn't tell em to cut it off🤣yell
@@box5bastard277 "The whole club"? LMAO Did people even recognize Kwame by then. Without the flat top, I doubt many people would even recognize Kwame in his prime
@@lethal5flow679 they knew him and he's the one that spoke about it yell
I remember hearing the blueprint when it came out and it was good but when stillmatic came out, it was amazing!!!! Nas killed it with Ether!!!
blueprint was etter than stillmatic
We only remember ether
Good good days of rap happy I grew up on that music
@@lanellenglish2423 not true Hip Hop heads. I always remember the intro...then Rewind, What Goes Around, The Flyest, whole joint was incredible
I love both albums I like blueprint from front to back but certain songs on stillmatic get more play. I rarely listen to ether or takeover. Lyrical exercise gets bumped almost every time I hit a track or treadmill so that's definitely my most played song.
Jay-Z Can Dish it But He Can't Take it
That's why he's concerned with dissing women, is he scared to smile, they called him ugly. Life is harsh.
Haha, Biggie Get Money, Pac Take Money wordplay
People say, Nas was just name calling but, people don't peep the genius of what he said on Ether. Every single line was a head basher. He read Jay-Z like a children's book. This is who you are. Your money means nothing when your character is wack. Jay-Z got famous by being a sidekick. Nas debut album had no guest features and was a classic. People was mad at Nas for not getting on his joint. Nas read out all that trash. Nas broke up Roc-a-Fella. He even called it while he was doing it. "Is it Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or, Dame Dummy oh I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy Ew." He knew Jay would hear that and "Takeover" Dame's label. Nas made Jay-Z step up from artist to billionaire. "And now I smile like a proud dad watching his only son that made it" Nas was way too cold for what people really want to give him credit for. Then the next track was, Hope you got your gun.. Which people think was about beefing but it was a message. You keep playing around and you gon need to go back to jacking and selling dope. Stillmatic was simply outstanding.
Got famous from being a sidekick? Yo wtf Is your ass talking about? Lol if you respond to this I’m really gonna learn you one frfr you sound absolutely ridiculous
Nas had one guest appearance AZ but he wasn’t famous at the time. Nas won that battle, even Jay admitted such. That being said, I’m a dedicated Jigga fan
And not only the shit was factual "in 88 u was getting chased in ya building",that's been confirmed by Jay's homie dehaven,jaz,and a Marcy hood legend named luv calling my crib and I ain't even give you my number nas baby mother confirmed it "how much of biggies rhymes is gonna come out yo fat lips" self explanatory,"foxy got you hot cause you kept ya face in her puss" come to find out he was a grown man fuckin that 16-17 year old girl so if anybody was spittin facts if was esco and if was anybody spittin made up shit it was jay
@@ronronwilliams7074 AZ was never famous but come on now. AZ dropped Doe or Die in 1995 and it's a masterpiece of hip hop. AZ was known. I was a white kid from the NYC projects who had a bootleg cassette of Nas and AZ from 1993/94 before Illmatic became staple. I had that and Meth vs Chef cassette bootleg. I knew AZ before Doe or Die. We talking non internet days. Cassette passing
Ether had J in his feelings
😂😂😂
Exactly, that’s what’s it all about!! These jay z fans don’t understand that. If a diss track towards you gets you in your feeling, you are the loser!
Nas was already in his feelings though. That's why he wrote it.
@@NotoriousSSV No he wasn’t. Nas already destroyed Jay and the Roc on the Stillmatic freestyle.
If we wanna go that route, Jay stooped low by kissing and telling that he smashed Carmen and leaving the rubbers in Destiny's baby seat. Nas kept it G and kept it mature. He could have bragged about how he smashed Beyonce first.
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 What the hell Pac got to do with this
let that man rest in peace
Nas destroyed the whole Rockefella with Either
Speaking of 50 that Nas Don't Body Ya Self was a nice jab at 50 also.
Don't body yaself is a classic
I just said this 😂. It’s hard and it’s tough bc Nas was so calm
That grandma line by Nas was something vicious👀
Who wants beef you vegetarian rhyme scheme something fire 🔥
“They say Jada defeated him, Joe too street 4 him? So what’s next? I guess for Nas to ether him!!!!”
Ether is like a Freddy Krueger Nightmare on Elm Street to Jay every time he hears it!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥👹😂
1…2 Nas is coming for you 😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha
Lmaoooo to drop it on his birthday too. Just a calculated savage ass move. 🤣
😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nas won that battle!!...
TeamNas
No the hell he didn't
@@trapmuzik6708 yes he did
Hands down👐
Nas definitely won.
Ether was one the best disses in Hip-Hop history
"Rocafella died of Aids, that was the end of his chapter. And that's who yall chose to name your company after"? Nas was talking about the street hustler named Rocafella that Jay idolized from around Marcy. Not the actual Rockerfellers.
I dont give a fuck what anyone says NAS beat the breaks outta Jay-Z with that ETHER#1 with 2PAC saying FUCK JAY-Z on the hooks. 💯
FUCK YEA!!💯💯 JUST TO VICICIOUS OF A DISS!!
song was so raw it became a verb now people say you got ethered
@@jessemiller4970 FACTS
This has nothing to do with pac
Pac would have out spoken..out rapped and made ppl feel every word he says. And would have been more direct👀
Ether started off hard with that Pac sample.
Ras Kass saw Nas earlier and ran into Jay Z at night what a memory that was for real
The beginning of the song is “f*ck Jay Z”, of course he was pissed off😂
I'm a fan of both and it's no doubt Nas won that. Ether affected Jay emotionally 😢 he needed some time to recover from that one.
Lol so he Kept dropping albums
What you said makes no sense
@@jermaineburgess3767 Or maybe you're just too slow🤔😭
@@ericdiaz153 or I just know when someone dumb says stupid shit jay dropped platinum album back to back after that 🤡🤣🤣
He needed time but came back a couple days later with super ugly saying how he threw a condom in nas Baby seat.. meanwhile it took almost a year later for nas to write ether after the takeover
Imagine being in the club when they played that 😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg
I woulda killed to see the look on Jays face😂
I'd a snuck out the club through the back door exit real quick. 😆
@@gdc6153 fr his blood was probably boiling 😂
😂
I know he was tight😂
I was in NYC when Ether dropped. Everyone knew Nas took it.
When Jay says that he lost, idk why people even still debate it. One of the greatest diss records. Jay telling people to not play Ether but it was all fun and games when he dropped Takeover. All Jay did on Takeover was say the same thing Cormega said about Nas on ‘Thunn & Kicko’. It’s a ok track but I don’t get the hype.
Takeover aged better than Ether
@@boshidobrownii998 That's because "Takeover" is a better song but "Either" is a better diss
Because people are fk'n stupid
On BP2, Jay was going through the 5 stages of grief. Dude sounded defeated too.
Til this day Ether still goes harder than Takeover.
Ron Browz using Tupac's vocals from Fuck Friendz on Ether was extra savage haha
Jay still holding grudges over ether till this day. When Nas dropped his last album recently Jay dropped his on the same day unannounced.
Nas won the battle between the two records if you ask me but I'll never forget being in my older cousin's car listening to Blueprint the week it dropped and how crazy it was at the end of the second verse on "Takeover" when Jay said "ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov....." Some moments in hip hop history you'll just never forget...
Noooo
@@rasulsamad5860 😎 I saw what you did there lol...
Obviously we're around the same age. But MTV had some concert with Jay-Z and the whoe crowd said...nooo...so what you said took me back
As I read this I was thinking noooo then read the replies. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Ahaha yeah man crazy times but ether was killer man lol even In he beginning of the song Nas got pac saying fuck Jay z shit was legendary
Ras Kass's interview is one of the best to watch to experience the behind the scenes of the industry. Love it. Plus, Ras Kass's Goldyn Chyld is a classic. Label should've dropped when it was completed.
Nas is lethal with the pen. Go listen to “Don’t Body yourself” diss to 50. Song goes hard !
50 never came back🤣🤣🤣
Lol....don't be bashful. I felt like Nas won that rap battle back then too.
He did
Back then and now
Even though I felt like Nas won, I did sorta feel bad for him. He went at the whole Roc by himself and handled them niggas and the entire NYC fronted on Nas. Hot 97 wouldn't even let him perform Ether. Nas felt the same way 2Pac did when NYC fronted on him heavily. Make no mistakes, Jay had some shit but people crucified Nas for going at Jay the way he did. Ether was so crazy even that Super Ugly song couldn't hold up to it.
I disagree with the 2pac part to a certain extent. Other than that... spot on
Dj playing the best of Ja Rule skit in the club is hilarious 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Think he talking about the duettes skits. They were all over the g-unit mixtapes back in the day lol
@nevedofficial466 Yea i know lol
Nas won the battle and is just a cooler dude than Jay.🤷🏾♂️
Nas took that landslide
He should've just left Nas alone
"The DJ was like fu@k that." *plays Ether* 😂😂😂
Great story and love how he tied it together about the end and waking up in the morning not knowing the day will end up being one that will never be forgotten
cool interview
Nas was definitely on his 1991 Ice Cube No Vaseline shit when he did Ether...
Memphis Bleek said it was a sad day in the Roc offices once Ether dropped. Jay was probably in the office weeping like a baby at the fact that the people picked Nas over him.
At the end of the day, that beef was classic and will go down in Hip Hop history.
He was in shock definitely because Jay took Summerjam 2001 to another level when he brought out MJ & dissed prodigy so he felt all high & mighty & owned NY.
IMO that’s when Jay went the “business man” route & stop caring about being the top emcee.
@@RowlexEnterprise Jay dissed Prodigy when he was falling off. Prodigy wasn't tripping about exposing him wearing a MJ costume because everyone and their mama liked MJ.
@@roclang9118 Jay wanted to expand around to bigger things but everyone else wasn't feeling it so Jay did what he had to do back in 2005. I think Jay retired because 50 Cent was around and he wanted to rebrand himself as well which meant he had to get rid of dead weight(Dame)
@@mackvelly8899 all caused by ETHER “that sh!t that makes your soul burn slow” 😂
This was one of the greatest hip hop stories I've heard lately 😂
You The Shiznit Rass!!!!
Love From Me and My Brother🙏❤✊
Yeah 💯Ras you did not sale you’re soul. We proud of you and we rock with the real 💯
The reason why Kanye and gay z had beef is because Kanye said when he sign to rockefeller records they asked him who is the best rapper ever Kanye said hands down it’s Nas followed by rick ross who also sign to rockefeller also said Nas is his #1 top 5 rapper if All Time Nas has stood the test of Time ☝🏾🎤
Hov fans really keep trying to change history. Everyone knows Nas won. Even Hov.
I see a future in content outside of the Pac stuff you do, my guy. 👀 This was gold.
Give Rass Kass his flowers, a significant yet most underrated piece to the West Coast HIP-HOP Legacy! BIG UPS A.O.D.!!!
I remember hearing Understandable Smooth with the Anita Baker sample for the first time on the radio and couldn't wait for the song to end to find out who the artist was. Ras Kass sounded like an East Coast rapper so I assumed it was someone from NY, only to discover later on that he was from the West. To this day he's one of my favourites.
I got Ether on a cd stuck in my Moms old Benz, can't wait to play the track everytime I get in to drive on my own!!!🤣
I-WILL-NOT-LOSE
ILL-WILL
How old is that damn car?
Rass Kass was in Harlem one day and he jumped into my cuzzo the rasta range rover back in the early 00’s, he basically just need a lift downtown ….cool ass dude
Jay & his fans #1 defense was that Ether was made up bs & Jay's disses were all facts but Ras Kass just confirmed Nas was the one speaking facts. "In '88 you were getting chased to your building, Calling my crib & I ain't even give you my number" 😂😂
Ether is 🧢 made up in Nas head Takeover is all facts
@@trapmuzik6708 So you just listened to the man who lived with Jay tell you it was all facts & you still in denial? Lmao Y'all Stans are hilarious smh
Jay gave his opinion of Nas' career, which wasn't accurate... so it wasn't all facts.
That's a opinion Jay ok but super overrated like lyrics matter all that stealing is annoying
@@KtotheG it's facts Nas didn't own his publishing facts Jay smashed his BM Carmen facts he became a fake Escobar character I could keep going
Listen to Jay Z speaking about Ether with Angie Martinez (on YT), he’s almost crying saying Nas went too hard lol
Nas won that ether is still burning Jay z slow in 2022 like Nas said it would
Ras Kas is a true legend! Loved this dude back in the day
Everybody a legend these days.
FACTS!!! Ras was legit one of my favorite Rapper Back in the Day.He was So Super Underrated to the point. I think a lot of Rappers at the Time were to Scared to get on a Song with him Because they didn't wanna be outshined. Especially back then when New York was Still looked at as being the most lyrical. Ras was respected By New York MCs & Hung out with a lot of them in New York But They Still wouldn't Do Songs With him,and the ones that Did Ras Outshined them on their own Song. Ras Kass was truly ahead of his Time.
He needed more of a catalog, strong start then crickets
Ras 🖊️ game 📝 is CRAZY!🔥🔥🔥🔥 One of my favorite alltime, extremely underrated.
Hip hop was crazy back then. Good times
Jay z mustve been uncomfortable af in the club 😂😂
Real talk😂
Did Ras just say he Lived with Jayz for a Summer??? ART... How you let that get past you with out making Ras Elaborate on that statement‼
He said in another interview that they were pretty close when they were both on Priorty Records (Reasonable Doubt) , so it was probably round that time.
Priority is a West Coast label, maybe he was staying with Ras when he was out their, or maybe Ras stayed with him when he had to handle biz in New York.
Crazy how all these years later jay an icon and rass Kass forgotten
What a moment
Either was one of thee most realest moments in Hip-hop history ..like it or not
If someone tells you they lived with JAY-Z for a summer you should ask them to expound on that.
😂😂
Facts I was just thinking the same thing🤔😂
Seeing if he was a fit for Roc a fella but riding Nas nuts Jay declined
Even Jay z fanboys admit nas bodied him
@5:26 that laugh from Art lmao
I was around for that. It was crazy. NY stopped. People polled over to hear it.
Ja rule duets was legendary 😂😂
I hate diss records but Nas killed it,like he said it was DEADLY
Golden child such a good record. Wish it came out
That's an amazing scenario in hiphop to experience like that
them ja rule skits were funny as hell
Thats what I was laughing at!
Jay called up the radio station not too long after and was speechless lol
I’ll never forget where I was the first time I heard Ether on the radio. That was one of those historic hip hop moments. I don’t think Jay was expecting to get bodied like that lol.
Ether will never be out done.. It’s Headstone Nas Killed any Diss forever with Ether .. Nas was on point forever with that joint ..
The one line that always stuck wit me even tho I'm not a big Nas fan ( don't even it's diff for everyone) and also not a Jay z fan that much but the line was " I rock hoes y"all Roc-a-fella".. so simple yet so insulting
You ain’t a fan? who asked you though? Not a fan but you here leaving comments. FOH.
That’s dope
The part that made me laugh on Ether, was when Nas called him a "Taebo ho", in reference to Jay Z taking martial arts classes, thinking he can fight, at a time when Billy Blanks was teaching Taebo Aerobics to women, it was not meant for fighting.
Jay-Z still that nigga 💯
no doubt
Your lying little boy 🤣🤣
Hahahaha! Ether is epic
Love Ras ❤️💯 he's the best. PERIOD
Rass always been solid
I always felt Jay Z became a music industry pawn. You can tell there was a shift after Tupac and Biggie died...Which is when I stopped really paying attention to music, even as a little kid I seen it. That was when Jay Z was black balling cats like DMX. Nas was to big and wise to cancel tho...I think Jay Z thought because Nas isn't considered a freestyler/Battle rapper Jay Z thought he could end Nas career on wax. I feel like my feelings have been validated on Jay Z being a pawn seeing as his career actually got bigger after losing the beef. At no time in HipHop history did that ever happen before this beef...All the way back to Krs one and Mc Shan.
Thought I was the only dude who felt that way. On top of the story about how Jay back peddled in the club when confronted by Mobb Deep and no one thought anything of it.
Great thing that beef didn't get to Biggie Tupac level.
They didn't have that influence pac had
Imagine hearing ether n saying nas “might’ve won”😂😂😂😂
Ras Kass' "Miami Life" is such an underrated hip hop song 🔊🎶😏.
IN 88 YOU WAS GETTIN CHASED THRU YA BUILDING CALLIN MY CRIB AND I AINT EVEN GIVE YOU MY NUMBERS ALL I DID WAS GIVE YOU A STYLE FOR YOU TO RUN WITH ahahahaha Nas spanked him
Nas killed jayz and is crew , Nas is by far THE best to ever do it untouchable 🐐.
I love his sons! Epic lyricist himself…glad he stayed true
After listening to this story I'm hearing tha instrumental of Ice Cubes - Today was a good Day..🎼😎
Why couldn’t he himself tell the DJ to turn it off?
Would have been embarrassing walking over to the DJ, becouse everybody would've known what he was up to
@@ericcartman9042 Hell yea loooool
@@ericcartman9042 lmao
Everyone would probably be laughing and pointing at jay 😂😂
Think about how powerful Jay’s Summer Jam performance was. Performing Takeover for the first time when nobody heard it. He and the Roc are at full strength. The Prodigy pics on the screen. Bringing Michael Jackson out. Dropping The Blueprint 2 months later. For the whole world especially NYC to immediately side with Nas over Ether. Stillmatic wasn’t even out yet just shows the magnitude of what Nas did. And he changed the hip hop lingo forever. “You got Ethered” we all know what that means now
Kas a real one. I kicked wit him for Several hours at the Mission Valley Dennys in San Diego. Then about a year later he did a show in point Loma remember me inviting me to his table and when he was done with the club left a bottle for me and my chick. Much respect ✊🏾. Oh and his two boys are dope too so if y’all get a chance check out contra coast
✊✊💯
Real shit !!
You invited yourself to his table?
Naw he invited me over.
Heavy.
Now that's a hell of a story
Nas won that shit!
Jay z still haven't recovered from ether
Damn we are old, this is 20 yrs ago.. huoh..
2001-02 was a good time to be in NYC
These the most sensitive dudes in the world... talked about T-Pain and auto-tune amongst thousands of other people he's taking shots at but you can't take a diss track
Everybody get in there feeling bro it’s normal
