"Ether" was the better diss."Takeover" was the better song.
they were both weak.
On point TECH. and I hope some day these other cats will finally open their eyes, u see, Jay din't even need "super ugly" he knew that, so I think he simply put it out just to keep the battle going or something cause he obviouslly din't put much effort into it, since "takeoever" was so much superior to ether...while NAS was simply Playing with simplistic and almost childish remarks (lol, I thought he was gonna start talking about his momma at some point ) Jay was actually battling wit some heavy artillery punches filled with humour and wit.
everyone always forgets but TAKEOVER only had 1 verse dissin nas, the whole song ether was about jigga,,,,and jayz destroyed nas wit one verse!also takeover is a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy better beat
man, Im real sorry you need me to point that out for you, just look for yourself: Jay had this FAN point of view consept on "takeover", that logiclly hurts the most for an artist, He wasn't just spraying venom with no bite like NAS did on "ether" at times...He had structure. "fell from top10 to not mentioned at all", "1 hot album every 10 years averrage", "one was EHHH the other was Illmatic"....These are all lethal, Plus Shit had alot of humour in it showing Jay's cool and not-dependent atidute towards the isue shining with confidence without taking chip-childish-simplistic shots.

Nas dropped an amazing, flawless classic (something Jay has never dropped may I add), an almost classic (hotter than hot), a solid album, ONE wack album and then another classic. And as for 'fell from top 10 to not mentioned at all', Jay's never been in my top 10, and probably never will be, he's good, but not that good. Plus, Nas has and probably always will have a spot in the top 10 due to "Illmatic", and now "Stillmatic", plus numerous spotless guest appearences that account to his gifted lyricism. Nas is done with this beef anyways, it seems to me like Jigga is the one holding onto this. Just watch, he'll probably have another diss song aimed at Nas on his next effort. Oh and Jay was coming from a fan's perspective because that's all he is compared to Nas, a fan that can't touch Nas, which Nas pointed out in "Ether".
