Nas - Ether Stillmatic (2001) © 2007 A Joël Production (All Rights Reserved) Nas - Ether "Ether" is a diss song to fellow New York rapper Jay-Z, who had surpassed Nas in commercial success since 1998 and had dismissed him as a has-been on the diss track "Takeover." Nas responds to Jay's claims by rapping, "I got this, locked since Nine-One(1991), I am the truest/ Name a rapper that I ain't influenced." The song contains numerous gay-based slurs directed at Jay-Z: "When these streets keep calling, heard it when I was sleep/ That this Gay-Z and Cock-A-Fella Records wanted beef," "First Biggie's your man, then you got the nerve to say that you're better than Big/ Dick-suckin' lips, why don't you let the late great veteran live," "You a dick-ridin' faggot, you love the attention/ Queens niggas run you niggas, ask Russell Simmons" and "Put it together/ I rock hoes; y'all rock fellas." Nas also attacks Jay-Z's street cred, claiming, "In '88, you was gettin' chased to your buildin'/ Callin' my crib, and I ain't even give you my numbers/ All I did was give you a style for you to run with." He also accuses Jay of selling out, "Y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches/ What's sad is I love you cause you're my brother, you traded your soul for riches." He had lines regarding Jay's unattractive appearance and accuses him of misogyny, rapping, "You seem to be only concerned with dissin' women/ Were you abused as a child, scared to smile, they called you ugly?" and "Foxy kept you hot, kept your face in her puss/ What you think you gettin' girls now because of your looks?" He also accuses Jay of brown-nosing other rappers for fame: "Your ass went from Jaz to hangin' with Kane, to Irv to Big/ And, Eminem murdered you on your own shit." Not only does he criticize the usage of other rappers' influence for increased fame, he mentions that Eminem vastly outshined him on his song, "Renegade". It was the only Blueprint track with a guest rapping appearance, and many fans and critics feel that Jay-Z was overshadowed by Eminem's visceral, assonant rhymes. Finally, Nas insults Jay-Z's biting of Big's lyrics, "How much of Biggie's rhymes gonna come out your fat lips?". Nas - Ether

n u know why it aint hip hop? cuz hip hop aint bout biting its bout improvising. u need to be creative if u wanna be a real rapper. jay says nas made 4 albums in 10 years, SIKE!! illmatic =94 iww =96 the firm =97 i am n nastradamus =99 n at the time jay made takeover nas was bout doing qb finest n stillmatic =2001. btw jay duznt have so great flow himself on takeover, "switch up your flow" what did jay do? he had a AMAZING flow when he did tracks wit jaz, why did HE change the flow? sell out!!

n jay got no right to diss nas cuz he wanted nas to sing the chorus to dead prez, sampled his voice from nas' represent and nas started to do this scarface thing in his vids before jay did + jay took that line from verbal intercourse. btw jay hasnt only bited big n nas. search for "f*ck jay-z" by camron. he bites from pac, rakim, snoop n other rappers. he even took half of the first verse from eminem in success. sold his soul n starts to bite people that aint hip hop anymore.

btw lemmie get this nas vs jay-z straight: nas won the battle n jay got really ethered in this battle. first off all jay got no right to talk shit bout nas' albums when his albums are better than jays(maybe not nastradamus but people need to stop dickridin n realize its a good album). i understand why people say jays lyrical, its cuz of reasonable doubt i agree. its a straight classic up there with illmatic n it deserves top 10. but jay changed from fast rappin to lyrical to sellin his soul.
