another jewel. When Jay Z said the "more in Carmen" line, he was paying homage to Biggie's style. Listen to "Brooklyn Finest" when Big said "If Fay' had twins, she'd probably have two Pacs (uh!) Get it? Tu... Pac's?"
This is one of most underrated diss songs ever. A lot of what Jay said was true. Nas was the underdog and once he dropped Ether, the majority of the game was with Nas after that. Jay was being shunned for “hitting below the belt” or “being in his feelings”. I personally thought it was a cold freestyle diss, but not comparable to Ether cuz that was an actual song. Both legends at the end of the day and are still winning til this day 💯
Yeah coming bak to it, shyt was filthy - think at the moment ppl didn't expect that from Jay but actually Nas' Ether was below the belt as well... I really think Nas picked a better beat than Jay even tho Takeover was a crazy beat as well but Ether was/is just grimier
@@wrnr_mn The industry was just against JayZ, Nas went below the belt with gay lines but nobody said shit immediately Supa ugly dropped people started shouting that Jay went below the belt they where just hating on Jay
@@chubbychuckle he never said anything bad directly about the kid, 2pac said he fucked biggies wife, at the end of hit ‘em up he said fuck your mama where was the same energy but because it’s Jay the law changes!
This Song is very underrated, and the Jay-Z haters always disregard it. Jay himself admitted that this was an unfocused effort, but it's still as vicious as they come. It's funny how people loved the shit that Nas said about Jay, but then they feel Jay was wrong for this. I actually think Blueprint 2 is the better, and more focused response. I also fail to understand how people can say that Jay was emotional on this Song, yet Nas wasn't emotional on Ether, while responding to Takeover. People love to rate Ether as better because Nas spent the entire Song on Jay. Jay was shooting at multiple targets on Takeover. It was an amazing battle, that I never say one person won.
What made this so great in my opinion is on Takeover it’s like he warned Nas when he said “you know who did you know what with you know who but let’s keep that between me and you for now” then Nas dropped Ether so Jay came back with Super Ugly.
You have to do "Is that yo bitch" by Jay & missy elliot (which was shots thrown at nas before takeover & ether) & listen to blueprint 2 by jay which was the conclusion to the beef.
First of all, keep up the great work bro! 💪🏾💯, But there's a timeline for all the songs in this beef. I love NaS, but don't let these STANS make you think Ether was some "brilliant strategy". His line about disrespecting women was in reference to Jay's lines in "Song Cry" not in anticipation of Supa Ugly...🙄 Nas ORIGINAL response to just the "...Ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov, NOOOO!!!" line was his Stillmatic freestyle "H to the OMO" *then* Jay released The Blueprint, w/ the full Takeover song. In order after that: Ether, Supa Ugly (freestyle), Blueprint 2 (True response to Ether), The Last Real N!gga Alive Then they squashed it and made some 🔥 collabs! Just peep what they say about each other and watch their joint interview about it! I think your reactions would be dope!
What facts were on Superugly besides the sloppy seconds line??😂😂. Ya niggas need to learn the difference between facts and exaggerations?? Anyone with common sense knows the babyseat line wasnt true. Ya be the first oned to say listen to Camen vlad tv but leave out the part where she basically shitted on jayz and called him a herb and confirmed that the babyseat line wasnt true. But imma let ya hov stans cook since that ether still burning niggas soul.😅😅

@@ScottFree-GB Hov didn't say Nas didn't get paid. He saying he Nas was under other people to get paid. Hov was getting paid directly cause of how Roc deal was structured. He was saying Nas had to still get his money from a white boy.
No, Nas song was not a hot song. I'm a huge Nas fan but I'm from Atlanta. Nas songs off his first album were only hot up north. He didn't go gold for a long time and platinum longer than that. Nas had a niche following at first. He was a highly respected lyricist but his songs off first album weren't hits. His hits came on second album. So like Hov said, it was only a hot line.
Allen Iverson was also sleeping w Carmen (Nas babymother) along the same time as Jay was. Jay was w Carmen for about 5 years & even got pregnant for him, but tragically had a miscarriage. She was w him around the time of 1996-2000. If you do a reaction to “Is that yo chick” by Memphis Bleek ft. Jay Z ... Jay gets very explicit about his relationship w Carmen in his verse 😬
I grew up in Jersey, 20 min from NYC, I was 20 & I remember this diss battle beginning to end, it was OFF DA CHAIN. Like ICONIC. NAS killed it with Ether but Jay-Z also ripped it wit Supa Ugly. Love them both.
I'm 28 now, so I didn't really know what happened, but for me diss tracks are about how 'diss'respectful you can be, and you win. This was 10x as disrespectful as Ether. If Jay Z and Nas had this battle now, Jay would've won because of this song
The reason why this song was panned was because Nas predicted he would do this in Ether... Disrespecting women. It was looked at as Jay was emotional and embarrassed for getting exposed on Ether.
Which is funny because Jay points out Nas contradictions in Blueprint 2. Nas Is Not Innocent in disrespecting Women in songs also. Including his own baby mom 🤷🏾♂️
Yet Nas wasn't emotional on Ether. Yeah ok. Dude was all in his feelings. Jay hit him with a verse, and a Bar. Nas spent all of Ether talking on Jay. Jay was aiming at multiple targets on Takeover.
Yeah it was too disrespectful and you have to remember the times Rap game was just starting to get over losing Pac and Biggie. If you remember back then the last time we heard something so disrespectful was Hit em Up. JayZs Mom had to intervene and made Jay squash it, if she didn't who knows what would've happened if JayZ call him self walking in Queens or Nas performing in Brooklyn.
Add them to the list if you want, they are great songs and they need more reaction videos in youtube for sure: RUN DMC - Down with the king and Gang sterr - Above the clouds Thank you Ahmad, you are a king for real brother.
Takeover was better. Jay went at Nas and Prodegy from Mobb Deep and tbe lyrics were better and truer too. Ether was funny and good but the majority of it wasn't true. Great bate tho

Na im jacking if they’re beef was happening in a different more modern era and supa ugly came out Jay a woulda won back then they were a little more morally tolerant but nowadays we don’t really have a moral compass as much
Nas got under J’s skin with ether. You not supposed to come back from take over. J hit Nas and was celebrating in the ring with his hands up and when he turned around Nas caught him like Hitman Hearns caught Martin. Remember, Jay-Z was on top of the game at that time and Nas was struggling. J’s feelings got hurt that’s why he had to do super ugly
You can say that but Jay-Z crossed a line with that bar. The best battles in hip hop ain’t have nothing to do with taking personal shots at kids. It backfired on top of that he put A.I business in the street. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about that. I think that was the one time in Jay-Z whole career where he didn’t have control of a situation. Even he admitted he took a L with that battle
@@tavaresthomas6016 Factz, this one flew under the radar for some reason, I never felt that Nas won the battle, Ether was nice, but those barz wasnt factual and I know some emcees barz aren't factual, Nas had a smooth way of putting it together, but this was a diss joint, when your moms ask you to apologize to a brotha for your barz, you know it was disrespectful.✌🏾
@@rahshaanmuhammad1671 it flew under the radar for good reason. No reason to bring in who's banging whose baby mommas in what was originally a battle for the King of New York. Maybe nowadays this might be a good diss but times have changed, this wasn't seen as a good comeback to Ether. It's also kind of a wack song
This song was so wack. Nas won the King of New York battle easily I was around for it. This track didn't do anything but validate and expose Jay's insecurities. Jay got ethered and was so embarrassed he tried to get personal but it made him look like the bitch.
Bringing women into a beef that was first about who was the new King of New York was seen as the weakest, most underhanded attempt at a diss. This track was rightfully panned tbh whereas Ether was a complete sonning of Jay.
@@njnatl09 Exactly… When people’s choice rapper gets touched, they wanna claim that dude breaking him down is emotional and insecure…. All I want to know is did he deliver on the track. That’s it!!
You're right in a sense this was one of the most disrespectful but not more disrespectful than 2Pac dissin the entire East Coast top rappers at that time & that Ice Cube Vaseline diss to Sug Knight, Eazy E, Dr Dre & rest of the M.W.A crew nuhh son now that's was some heavy lifting dissin dude to the ole school cat dissin these days are kitty litter dissin..😖
This is the diss where Jays mum had to get involved and made him apologise for this. 😂😂 Also the Baby Mum released a freestyle as well. Called Carmens got a gun.
This was so disrespectful, Now I heard Jay moms made him apologize to nas afterwards. Tuff 😭😭😭🤦🏾♂️
Yep, which gave even more power to Nas last line in Ether....
"You pop shyt and apologize nigga just ask Kiss"

React to the Stillmatic freestyle aka H to the Omo, that verse alone shows who's the superior rapper
Yeah....Pac don't apologize, though. That's who Nas really wanted an apology from...lol

Dear Summer at Summer Jam…
Not he came in his jeep and left condoms on his baby seat 🤯
I still remember where I was the 1st time I heard this song.... Like 20 years ago
AI was hoeing everywhere back then also
THEY TOOK THIS SONG off the air after the first day it was played most ppl never heard this
Jay Z was on that type of time. Yall gassed Ether. Jay won
Great reaction, this is my era. When this was happening real time, we all knew who and what Hov was talking about, radio in nyc stopped playing it.
Please do CamRons diss to Nas on the Hte Me Now beat 🔥🔥🔥
it's a classic!!!
Cam'ron's "Stan Spit" diss was suuuuper disrespectful too
@@digispeak0 that wasn’t a Nas diss tho
@@digispeak0 the MOST disrespectful diss record of all time
Blueprint 2 by Jay Z
fyi Jay's mom had him apologizing on hot 97 the next day for being so disrespectful in his verses. facts
Back then was waaaaaaaaaay real then today!
Escobar was a nickname given to him by the Wu (Gza I believe) on the OB4CL album

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ya funniest reaction yet in my opinion 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
It’s Brooklyn 🦾🦾🦾🔥🔥🔥
This was sooooo disrespectful...
Bruh.. Jay Won
dam he left them cons on the baby sit 2022 and still i am like god dam.
Na im jacking if they’re beef was happening in a different more modern era and supa ugly came out Jay a woulda won back then they were a little more morally tolerant but nowadays we don’t really have a moral compass as much
Jay Z mixed in That Dr Dre beat. Knockturnal/Snoop dogg "The way I am"..
Jay took the damn gloves off…..
...facts over slick talk. The reason why I still say Jay-Z won that battle.
Diss Tracks
The Bridge Is Over - BDP
No Vaseline- Ice Cube
Non Diss Track
Vice Versa - Pastor Troy
Most disrespectful is Shether, Remy didn't hold back.
React to Tupac's Hit'em up (dirty version)
I heard dear summer intro was taking shots at the Game, from West coast..
Nas got under J’s skin with ether. You not supposed to come back from take over. J hit Nas and was celebrating in the ring with his hands up and when he turned around Nas caught him like Hitman Hearns caught Martin. Remember, Jay-Z was on top of the game at that time and Nas was struggling. J’s feelings got hurt that’s why he had to do super ugly
Jay got under Nas' skin with a verse, and a Bar. Nas dedicated an entire Song to Jay in response. Guess he wasn't touched by an Angel though.
You can say that but Jay-Z crossed a line with that bar. The best battles in hip hop ain’t have nothing to do with taking personal shots at kids. It backfired on top of that he put A.I business in the street. I’m sure he wasn’t happy about that. I think that was the one time in Jay-Z whole career where he didn’t have control of a situation. Even he admitted he took a L with that battle
@@anthonyclark9441 Bruh what u expect? He dissed him and then Jay Z responded in a song
Nas was struggling?? How?? He was still selling millions of records. The struggling he was dealing with was his moms health.
Nah Ether ended all that shit
No
Ether didn't go against this this was two hours after ether dropped.ether went up against four bars
And then Ether happened.....
This was after Ether
💯💯💯
@@tavaresthomas6016 Factz, this one flew under the radar for some reason, I never felt that Nas won the battle, Ether was nice, but those barz wasnt factual and I know some emcees barz aren't factual, Nas had a smooth way of putting it together, but this was a diss joint, when your moms ask you to apologize to a brotha for your barz, you know it was disrespectful.✌🏾
@@rahshaanmuhammad1671 it flew under the radar for good reason. No reason to bring in who's banging whose baby mommas in what was originally a battle for the King of New York. Maybe nowadays this might be a good diss but times have changed, this wasn't seen as a good comeback to Ether.
It's also kind of a wack song
@@jphugo15 first of all it’s not a song. It’s more of a freestyle. And a disrespectful one at that.
Jay had the radio stop playing Super Ugly that's why Nas down plays Either!
Radio stations back then loved rap beefs. After 5pm, this was on a continuous loop!! 😅
Cancel culture wasn't even around back then but When Hov dropped this is wasn't good for him everybody was life he went too far.
It's a great diss track but the greatest diss track of all time is No Vaseline from Ice Cube.
idunno fam that Story of Addidon might have taken the spot of No vaseline. Pusha T murdered Drake on that. both crazy disses tho either way
Nas-your da man is a reply to this song 🔥
THIS IS THE REACTION VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Listen to them BARS
JAY-Z IS BETTER
This song was so wack. Nas won the King of New York battle easily I was around for it. This track didn't do anything but validate and expose Jay's insecurities. Jay got ethered and was so embarrassed he tried to get personal but it made him look like the bitch.
Bringing women into a beef that was first about who was the new King of New York was seen as the weakest, most underhanded attempt at a diss. This track was rightfully panned tbh whereas Ether was a complete sonning of Jay.
Fuck that if I'm fuckin a dude bitch that I'm beefing with I'm throwing that shit in his face people didn't seem to take issue when Pac did it.
Nas still won
@@njnatl09
Exactly… When people’s choice rapper gets touched, they wanna claim that dude breaking him down is emotional and insecure…. All I want to know is did he deliver on the track. That’s it!!
Baby mom's and his girl are 2 different things.
You're right in a sense this was one of the most disrespectful but not more disrespectful than 2Pac dissin the entire East Coast top rappers at that time & that Ice Cube Vaseline diss to Sug Knight, Eazy E, Dr Dre & rest of the M.W.A crew nuhh son now that's was some heavy lifting dissin dude to the ole school cat dissin these days are kitty litter dissin..😖
Ether is the better song.....Super Ugly is the better diss...cause its all true.....
Blueprint 2>>>>
Beanie Siegel - what you talkin bout or I go off (Jay Z diss)
Common - Bitch in Yoo (ice cube diss)
At the time I thought Jay had ended Nas career
I’ve been wondering for years why no one ever talks about this.
I always said lyrically Nas won but Jay spit straight facts and destroyed Nas.
Check out hova. Not as disrespectful but he goes in on that one too. Also Eazy E It’s on
This is the diss where Jays mum had to get involved and made him apologise for this. 😂😂
Also the Baby Mum released a freestyle as well. Called Carmens got a gun.
