Nas: Ether Vs. Jay-Z: Takeover - Which Is The Better Diss?

[R-Tistic]

Really, to answer the question all you have to do is ask, now 7 years later do people say "you got takeovered" or "you got ethered"?

LMAO!!! +1

But yeah...only biased Jay fans will say that Takeover was better, even though it wasn't as focused on Nas. Jay did kill everybody at the end wit "you only get half a bar....f'k y'all n'ggas!!!" That line was harder than people realize just because a lot of cats were dissin him at the time, just hopin he'd give em a verse or song just to give them publicity...so he burnt them all out.

However....Nas won the rap battles, but damn...Jay f'cked his wife, became even bigger than he was in the rap game, and ended up signin Nas....so who won overall?

[Sickaluffa]

Oh god. Before the shitstorm arrives, I voted Ether. But both are both dope as hell.

[MontrealCity's Most]

takeover!!!!! better beat imo

[R1ZE]

....because the beat is the most important part of a diss.

After Takeover, Nas made Ether
...after Ether, Jay cried on the radio and came back with "super ugly"... 

not to mention the main diss on jay's record (one was nahhhh and the other was illmatic...) was just wrong.

[es-jay]

i always sorta prefered Takeover.

[West Coast Veteran]

Ether is the better diss, Takeover is the better song.

[S P I C E]

Ether is the better diss, Takeover is the better song.

Couldnt agree more

Jay got at a lot of people on the Takeover and he went in harder on Prodigy then Nas. so the answer is Ether, and if you add up Stillmatic+Ether Vs The Takeover+Super Ugly, then Nas won by hundreds of miles.

[da_notorious_mack]

the verse aimed at nas on take over>>any single verse from ether


but overall ether>>>take over


but blue print 2 was a hard comeback dunno why no-one brings that up when they talk on the beef...imo if jay hadnt dropped super ugly and dropped this instead he woulda won

Ether is the better diss track.  It's one of the best diss tracks of all time. Gay-Z was crying on the radio after Nas released Ether. lmao.

Co-sign.

Takeover - Better instrumental.
Ether - Better lyrics & style.

[Okka]

voted: Ether


"Takeover" was good too though, but Nas murdered Jay with that song.

[coast2coast]

Ether!
