LoL
whats your point?
The bloodbad shit.It was as close as a diss battle can get.On Hot97 the caller score was Nas 52% and Jigga 48%You dont get much closer than that, and that was the PUBLIC's voting.Talkin about "murdered" hahaha.If you axe me, maybe the diss was those 2% tighter, but as a song, Takeover was DEFINATELY better.Chorus, beat, tha whole package. (If you look behind the lyrics)And if Jay Z used the WHOLE song to diss him, I dont think the score would have been the same.And myself, I look objectively at it, I got both Blueprint & Stillmatic.The "murdered" thing usually gets expressed when someone hates either one of those 2.
"Takeover" was better than "Ether", for sure... how immature is it to call Jigga and The ROC "Gay-Z" and "Cockafella"? That was a pathetic diss from a poor rapper who was obviously short of ideas when writing his lyrics."Destroy & Rebuild" was also better than "Ether", frankly I can't see what so good about that song.
(even when his writing skillz were crying for help he still sounded amazing flowise-dis is also one of the major reasons why he is so overrated)...he was sleepen for like 3 albums
^^^ Dissect Nas' lyrics in the song "Nastradamus" and you'll probably understand why I GEEZY was saying that... lol
I understand... while on the topic, which album did you think was better, Nas' "Nastradamus" or Jay-Z's "Vol. 2" ?

am i tha only 1 that thinks destroy an rebuild is a better diss an song than ether
>= link=board=outbound;num=1023417772;start=20#22 date=06/11/02 at 10:45:44]I don't see where you can see he was 'crying for help' with his writing skills. Take "Hate Me Now", one of his worst songs according to most but hell that one verse he rapped was pretty amazing (i'll post if up later). I don't think his writing skills were lacking, I just think he was rapping about the wrong things (money, jewelry, basically bling bling shit which gets seriously played out). & what 3 albums was he sleeping on? IWW? No, great album. "I Am"? Good album. "Nastradamus"? Wack album compared to what he can and has achieved, but ya know everyone has their day, in Jay-Z's case "Vol. 2..". I think he's back for good now, guess we'll have to hear another top notch album to judge his consistency now but i'm willing to give him that chance, especially after "Stillmatic".
