>= link=board=outbound;num=1023417772;start=0#3 date=06/07/02 at 05:56:25]"Ether" is a classic diss, it's gonna go down in hip-hop history for sure, but as a song it's old now, the novelty has faded. I think D&R could of been a better diss towards Cormega though.
well...aside of "ether" being a real nice diss track, it wasn"t very suffisticated(in exception of dat "I...will ...not...loose" on the chorus..lol) nor very original concept-wise but a real nice diss,"destroy and rebuild" wasn"t as well executed, but it shown a much more realistic and acsessable aproach to the beef, it wasn"t that same "spray venom just for the sake of spraying"but it shown basiclly a relationship picture between the beefen sides-therefore, it was more cinematic and seemed much more easy to understand for the listener, also din"t seem as childish or as petty as "ether".my pick is "destroy..."
Biggie and Jaz-O is what killed Jigga. And the dissing women, and what not. All that was jaw dropping 'cause it's true. Ether was an endless diss, that had what I call diss feelers or shit that ain't true. Like most battle, with 'Pac and Hit 'Em Up, or Dre and Dre Day, or Eazy and Real Muthaphukkin' G'z, or Jigga and Super Ugly, (break beer bottles on your boys chip tooth). But that's suppose to be an EmCees wit and creativity, which is part of a hip-hop battle. Man, study hip-hop and battling. Not all facts, more wit. Destroye and Rebuild was a great song, I like listening to more than Ether, but the disses weren't as great. More like a warning, or something. But not a direct diss. It was a tight song though. Overall, I wouldn't mind Destroye and Rebuild aimed at me, 'cause it didn't do much, but I would, and have, bump it in my car. Peace.
Nas fuckin murdered Jay Z, shit was a bloodbath, ether is the better diss song, better than takeover and destroy....
>= link=board=outbound;num=1023417772;start=0#11 date=06/08/02 at 04:49:30]Aww c'mon guys, "Ether" killed "Takeover", he took out Jay with that one, you can't deny it, once "Ether" broke out everyone was ready to crown Nas, thats how dope it was. The fact that he backed it up with a great album "Stillmatic" also helped with the crowning but no-one can deny the impact "Ether" had. Like M Dogg said, Jaz-O was the key element in that diss, hardly anyone knew who the fuck he was or what impact he had on Jay's career before Nas clearly exposed it, that was a classic jab and a very original and thought through diss. Anyways, this argument is getting tired anyways, we could go round in circles all day 'cos at the end of the day it's all about your personal preference....
Nas sleepwalked through the song... LOL, his flow was weak, you gotta admit that 704D. I can mention a whole lot of hard-hitting punchlines in "Takeover", whilst the ones in "Ether" were few and far between. Jay-Z was spitting the truth too, which cannot be said about Nas. He was making up fictionary stories.
