People who hate Jay will talk as if the Jay and Nas beef was one sided and Nas just destroyed Jay. When Takeover came out people were doubting Nas. Takeover could've been career ending for Nas. Ether could've been career ending for Jay. This was definitely a good match up. Both rappers in their prime spitting their most vicious bars. Classic rivalry
actually when takeover droped a lot of people thought nas was in a very bad postures plus his last 2 albums wasnt good, he answered on mixtapes and he floped, then he made ether

Yall don’t get it. The content was there but the flow and delivery was wack. Nas was smooth and efficient with Ether and Stillmatic freestyle. Nas had flow and wit and forgive me if I’m wrong but didn’t Jay-Z mention in that MTV rap battle that you can’t beat flow and wit?
Am I tripping or is Drake jus jay z with more hits??? Like is not the same shit happening again??? Kendrick ain’t no nas but that nigga can write and he beefin with Drake….

STRAIGHT BARS! This ain't beef homie I don't have a scratch on me Spitting straight BARS at him He got niggas that would fucking open beer bottles off that shit,that would help them,tie him up on the coliseum roof then open beer bottles on his chip tooth STRAIGHT BARS!
He didn't care cause he had to care for his mother. His mom literally told him to apologize, because Nas whooped his ahh not even in his prime. Jay-Z had his whole team on him, and Nas whooped all of them alone. You can't be serious bro
Btw he was getting famous, Nas wasn't. Nas spoke facts when he said he traded his soul for riches. He is the most richest rapper out there. Anyway, they're friends again. Jay-Z even said he cried listening to Ether. Dropped Ether on Jay-Z's birthday, now thats a whole another level of disrespect.

What matters is that both these men sitting on top on the throne together now. Hov has more money, but they're both crazy rich entrepreneurs in 2022 and they both deserve every penny they made. I'll always fw both of their music.
People always bringing up Jay having more money like Nas aint living comfortably too 😂 they so rich, they go ANYWHERE around the world. Private Jet. Jay-Z sold his soul for that Industry A-List contract.
@@phonymex3340Jay hater Jay was a business man before rap started. They filmed the in my lifetime music video in ‘95 with 500k of dirty money confirmed by Dame. Plus that was before Jay z first album. During the 90’s Jay started business ventures like Rocafella, 44 club, and kept his endeavors going while dropping albums all throughout his career. If anything we should be like damn Jay really made it from nothing and not only is a top rapper but on the other hand one the best business man ever, not just sugarcoat it by saying he sold his soul. Nas is killing it with his endeavors too. He’s the best rapper out there in these past 3 years with this run he’s on and is also killing it with business ventures having an increase of net worth each year. Nas just started doing it later in his career. That’s not a knock on Nas he’s one the best rappers ever and now successful outside of rap but that’s the difference is Jay has been in business longer. Just don’t see how people could knock Jay for being rich when he should be an inspiration
nas is still going tho? more like the lebron...and hov is terribly inconsistent, I think ppl that put hov as the goat are out of their mind, hes good dont get me wrong but hes top 10-20, hov isnt better than nas in any way musically or skill wise, alot of nas music stands the test of time while hov doesnt@@cityboiroman

This was just a fire ass epic battle. I can't even imagine a battle nowadays flying so high with the stakes like this one. Plus when you layer in the background of this battle-- ANOTHER epic battle a few years earlier that ended with both master rappers getting murdered and people fighting over the King of New York crown-- you cannot get a battle so enormous as this today. Everyone was wondering if this would end up with more bullets flying like Big and Pac. And every one of the people in these battles was a hip hop legend. I don't even care about who won. Hip Hop won on this
Yeah people thought JAY-Z couldn't respond after nas song Ether Jay-z was spitting straight BARS at nas This ain't beef homie,I don't have a scratch on me Tie nas up on the coliseum roof then open beer bottles on his chip tooth lol BARS,he never sold aspirin how he escobar,STRAIGHT BARS
lol, nas is like epitome of being only a rapper. Ether itself is a boring as fuck song; nobody puts that shit on at the gym unlike Takeover. Hov has pop hits and hiphop classics in multiple eras (Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, American Gangster, 444). Call him carried by Just Blaze, Neptunes, Kanye, and Timbo all you want but he most definitely has the better ear for music; the guy was a nexus for hip-hop's sound in the time leading up to and after the Blueprint.
"This nigga never sold aspirin, how you Escobar?" What I love about Jay is how his wordplay is complex. Aspirin comes in "bars" or tablets so escoBAR. And ofcourse also the obvious, he's saying how he's never dealt heavy weight like Pablo Escobar. Genius shit.
Lmaoooooooooo Jay Z dissing someone is so hilarious to me lhhhh look how he’s talking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and the ad lins he’s just having so much fun in there ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 its hilarious to me cause when other rappers diss its like they get more serious than ever but when Hov does it it sounds as if he’s using it as a break from his real rapping lhhhhh
Because Jay felt like ether was the best diss. So he had to come back and tried hard as he can. Because he felt that the hiphop fans were on nas side after ether. Just by the sound of jayz voice in this record he felt that he lost
Mans brought a whole other man in his beef with Nas. Hov was on that snitching shit. Ether killed him so bad, the man had to try to ruin a whole other dude to take the heat off himself. Nas won this easy.
The biggest difference about the Jayz and Nas diss tracks is Jay was clearly having fun, even on this song he don't sound like he wanna murder the nigga. Even though he said the gloves was off. Nas on the other hand wanted to kill jay. So people feel that anger and that is why it comes off harder. Even though in reality lyrics wise jayz was saying more disrespectful shit its just his delivery was softer cause he didnt really give a fuck. Prime example the nigga Jayz is laughing the entire record.😂
@@DefSquadFan I had everything back then. Lol. Beepers, cell phones, cassette tapes, cassettes with the wire plug in, then the plug in compact discs.

Real and personal bars. Not the slapstick insults from Ether. Nas felt this 100%. Everybody knows that Jay Z’s usage of Biggie lines is his way of paying homage to his Brooklyn colleague. And that’s coming from someone who likes Nas more than Jay Z. This tops Ether.
What a great time it was in hip hop. If you weren’t alive or around during this time then you’ll never truly understand how these diss records were perceived by the public. Nas said on ether, it makes your soul burn slow. As good as takeover and super ugly were, they weren’t anything special. It was the same thing everyone was saying/doing, which was flexing, saying how they are tougher than everyone else. When you look at ether, it touched a nerve, hit on a completely different level. Fans of both artists and thankful to be around during this time period but as stated above, if you weren’t around during this time then you’ll never truly understand how monumental ether was.
@@ssj-rose4572 Jay may have a lot more money but Nas still worth 100 million and I don’t think he ever had aspirations to become that mainstream. I think they both won at life, but Jay lost the battle.
Nas won the bragging rights of this battle that's about it and when you go into careers Jay's been winning consistently many platinum albums it's not just about bars but able to remain on top and sell albums and make hit songs something Jay learned from Big and Pac both those guys wanted to be number on the mic and on the charts that didn't rub off on Nas to he didn't push himself or work hard to want be number one on the charts or sell albums but I won't take nothing away from Nas he's a great lyricist and legend in hip hop and definitely making some good business decisions making money but either way Jay and Nas both great I'm a fan of both
@@juanquinlan1764 Yeah, but Nasty Nas still smoked him in Ether though. It was a well calculated track; also from what I've researched, nas had recorded an original track for Ether, but the label he was sign to at the time wouldn't sign off on it, from my understanding it was to vulgar to be released. The Ether that was later released was rewritten. If I we're to judge, Super Ugly a solid 9.0, Ether 9.5.
Chris Stamps homie. The fact you think calling someone gay is a good diss insult is pathetic. “gay z” “cockafella” “dick sucking lips” “camel”. That’s literally corny and gay asf. Nas diss was weak.
Takeover was hotter than ether and 2nd verse was raw asl. Jay won the beef. And while we at it, Eminem spit a lot of fluff on renegade. Jay was concise and layered.
Name me one diss on Ether that was ACTUALLY TRUE (because Large Proffessor who is way closer to Nas than he is to Jay, and Dj Clark Kent both said a lot of the shit Nas said on Ether wasn’t true) and that wasn’t a ugly joke that was better than anything on this....this diss was far better than ether
Jay z was my favorite rapper in my school days I remember when one of his songs come on the radio in the car when my mom would drop me off from school I would blast it in the car she can't stand Jay z good old times
Keepin it 💯 Jay came for Nas..but Nas is a all time great and nobody wants to see somebody like that took out the game. Niggas just wanted to see Nas stand up & he did in a major way. But Jay was hitting with facts..hard to say he really lost that battle
Jay lost his composure after this....he was clearly aiming for disrespect by smashing his baby moms....him and a.i., how is that official on any level....deep down he just wanted nas to do the bring on record and felt slighted....crying on the radio and having ma dukes saying you went too far killed jay at the end of the day.
I will never forget.. it was me, Blacks, Big D, & my nigga Larry, who actually just died a few days ago… RIP 🙏🏾💯 But we was all in Larro Buick in 2001 riding around in Chicago on 63rd & Western and they premiered this on Power 92… so it comes on and I swear My nigga Larry pull over and we just listened to it, word for word, bar for bar, jab for jab.. and the car was bouncing up & down from us jumping around in that bitch going krazy!! Especially when the “left a condoms on yo baby seat” part came up, and we was wilding so hard we all just hopped out the whip and shaking each other hand like He killed him!!! it’s over!!! celebrating like we won a championship… and then they played it again and we all stop and just ran back to the whip and he pulled off… shit was wild.. wish I can tag my niggaz in this comment man… that shit brung back good ass memories… RIP my nigga man 💯
@@playforkeeps5545 word this shit is horrible... it sounds like it only took minutes. i love the angie martinez audio of jay z almost crying after ether lol yea yall just type that in the search bar... jay z almost cries after hearing ether. that right there! type that!
Jay Z actually clapped back and did the impossible. He climbed back up after Ether. Only to apologize for it later. Who the hell do you think you are?! J. Fold?!
People forget about the Blue Print 2. Jay went in on that. I’m a QueenS nigga & a heavy NaS supporter but I think they’re tied up. Take Over & Blue Print 2 was crazy. I think Super Ugly was trash. It was rushed though. Ether was super hard & don’t forget about last real nigga alive from Godsons album. Although it wasn’t a diss he explained the whole beef thing. It was hard too. I give it to both of them. True Hip Hop legends & icons.
@@GFBSTPPI nigga what lmao that shi was hot garbage lmao jayz do got bars but his cadence and flow on the beat is so ass he can't Stay inconsistent on the beat like nas lmao nigga was running out of them biggie line and he sound salty asl on the song dont forget he msde another trash song at nas still couldn't take him down🤣 😂

0:25 this is not beef this is rap homie, I don’t have a scratch on me…. Classic
"Me and the boy A.I got more in common than just ballin and rhymin, get it. More in Carmen" 😂😂😂 I still say Hov won this battle.
Bruh I just heard this shit. How tf niggas think Nas won
Nas won that shut hands down only real hip hop artist know that even Dame Dash said Nas won
@virgil5942 Nobody gives a shit what Dame thinks lol. Jay won that shit.
@@DavidColemanKingehhh this is no ether
If it was on like that, I would come through Queens, with Queens niggas (Gotti) 😂😂 how did i miss this back then
Came here after listening to Ether-Nas. I love them both Jay and Nas, but Super Ugly is definitely slept on! Yikes 🔥
Vee Addison I’m with you
Facts, this joint is straight disrespectful but hot fire
Very slept on it’s documented that jay was telling the truth all nas shit was made up
Stee Guzman but yet your here
Brooklyn Mona Cause how can you compare if you just listen to one dumb little boy😂😂😂
Irv gotti sent me here 😂😂😂
Same, fucking Vlad
Yep....i jumped straight to this shit
🤣🤣👍🏻

Josh Contreras had to hear it again for old times sake bruh
What a great time it was in hip hop. If you weren’t alive or around during this time then you’ll never truly understand how these diss records were perceived by the public.
Nas said on ether, it makes your soul burn slow. As good as takeover and super ugly were, they weren’t anything special. It was the same thing everyone was saying/doing, which was flexing, saying how they are tougher than everyone else. When you look at ether, it touched a nerve, hit on a completely different level.
Fans of both artists and thankful to be around during this time period but as stated above, if you weren’t around during this time then you’ll never truly understand how monumental ether was.
And if you weren’t in your 40s you’d know both Drake and Kendrick just cleared any other diss from this era lol
I cant even lie, im bumpin this more than Ether…..
hova went crazy on this track.. niggasz sleeping on this 1 smh
agreed
Also agree
Cause he apologized it
Agree homie
Dominique Stukes ether put everyone to sleep
Me and AI got more in common (Carmen) then just ballin' and rhyming
Get it ? More in CARMEN
Ooh shit
I thought it was “more incoming $$” 🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂
@@BlackFaithProduction Hov with the double entendres.
I came in your Bentley back seat
Listening to Pusha T’s Story of Adidon made me come visit the most disrespectful diss track ever 🔥🔥🔥
Ether won the beef undeniable, and Jay's flow won the hip-hop. #Legends
NO ETHER WON PERIOD STOP TRYNA COMPLICATE THINGS LOL
Jay won in life
@@ssj-rose4572 Jay may have a lot more money but Nas still worth 100 million and I don’t think he ever had aspirations to become that mainstream. I think they both won at life, but Jay lost the battle.
Nas won the bragging rights of this battle that's about it and when you go into careers Jay's been winning consistently many platinum albums it's not just about bars but able to remain on top and sell albums and make hit songs something Jay learned from Big and Pac both those guys wanted to be number on the mic and on the charts that didn't rub off on Nas to he didn't push himself or work hard to want be number one on the charts or sell albums but I won't take nothing away from Nas he's a great lyricist and legend in hip hop and definitely making some good business decisions making money but either way Jay and Nas both great I'm a fan of both
The battle wasn’t just these 2 songs though.
Jayz done grew up a lot 😂😂😂 man used to get disrespectful lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jay z seems like he talks to you with his flow.
That's why he's a goat brother
@@derikroy1646 lmaoo
Facts
That's what he does every line.. Thinks and speaks his raps. 💪🏿
@@juanquinlan1764 Yeah, but Nasty Nas still smoked him in Ether though. It was a well calculated track; also from what I've researched, nas had recorded an original track for Ether, but the label he was sign to at the time wouldn't sign off on it, from my understanding it was to vulgar to be released. The Ether that was later released was rewritten. If I we're to judge, Super Ugly a solid 9.0, Ether 9.5.
The debate should be super ugly vs ether jay got more disrespectful
Keionte Jefferson yessss
Exactly
But Most Of The Disrespectful Bars Were Towards A.I. Not Nas Though
Keionte Jefferson Nas was more disrespectful in my opinion, but he also wasn’t as clever as Jay was in his rebuttal.
Keionte Jefferson it was super ugly vs ether that’s why it was an easy win for Nas. stillmatic freestyle was the reply for takeover
"this nigga never sold aspirins how he escobar "
James Worthy 😂😂
who's here after Gotti on Vlad TV lol
glad I watched that interview,this is going on the playlist..dope

It’s the laugh for me going into the next beat classic 😂

Good old days when shit was real!!! Only the talented got a record deal
16 years old kid still listening to this beef this is how great this was
🤣 me rn
Sit down youngsters
Word
@@mhvisionzz9690 Why you mad
Love it when the beat switches
Jay freestyles this 24 hours after ether dropped. I still think he took It with this record.
He took it with Takeover. But the fans/judges gave it to Nas so that's what it is.
@@DefSquadFanyea because ether absolutely bodied Jay Z
He did lol
Lol he ain't take shit
Jay Lost!!! Cmon now with the bafoolery
How tf is this tune not more popular I really don’t understand. This tops any of nas’s disses imo. So many bars🔥
Agreed. To me this was a 1 hitter quiter. U cant come back to this
Nas fans act like this song didn’t happen
and big pun
Right? 😆
bro his mom made him apologize🤣
Jay-Z a cornball
It's opposite Jay fans act like this wack shit didn't happen.
THAT SECOND PART
If that was made to a song, Jay would've sweeped Nas.
Never the Battle was over after h to the omo.
@@chrisstamps4849 because he was left speechless after this.
Chris Stamps homie. The fact you think calling someone gay is a good diss insult is pathetic. “gay z” “cockafella” “dick sucking lips” “camel”. That’s literally corny and gay asf. Nas diss was weak.
Takeover was hotter than ether and 2nd verse was raw asl. Jay won the beef.
And while we at it, Eminem spit a lot of fluff on renegade. Jay was concise and layered.
I don’t even care, this is the greatest rap diss of all time. Mannnnn it’s savagery on another level, and I don’t even rate Jay Z that much.
Very underrated, if this track came out today it would’ve killed Nas.
The Oblivious agreed. I feel like people wrote it off because it was ‘too savage’, which is pretty ironic imo.
Bruce Grant Right? Could you imagine what would happen if Drake showed proof of him having a fling with Pusha T’s wife?
This track ain't shit.
I just had to be there
I never understand how people say Jay lost with a song like this. He literally had to apologize for it lol
Niggas glazing nas bc this shit pure heat
They both won cause it elevated their game and gave us some super dope shit.
Ether went hard, but how you gonna sleep on dis?
Name me one diss on Ether that was ACTUALLY TRUE (because Large Proffessor who is way closer to Nas than he is to Jay, and Dj Clark Kent both said a lot of the shit Nas said on Ether wasn’t true) and that wasn’t a ugly joke that was better than anything on this....this diss was far better than ether
Nah
Gamer KS cause there ain’t one. Jay won.
@@josh0253 Nas won
Gamer KS jay won
Nas won
having your mother make you apologies is crazy 😭… oh god jay z… dont end Nas like that..

Jay z was my favorite rapper in my school days I remember when one of his songs come on the radio in the car when my mom would drop me off from school I would blast it in the car she can't stand Jay z good old times
Classic. Harder than h to the omo.
Way harder🔥
One of the most underrated distracks
If you compare this to Ether, this is total trash
@@JeanPaulUS yeah but im not comparing it to ether
@@surerrabbit958 yeah I just re-listened to both of them, but my God! Nas murdered him
@@JeanPaulUS true
@@JeanPaulUS nas is better then jay z im not gonna cap
Insane bars 🔥
Keepin it 💯 Jay came for Nas..but Nas is a all time great and nobody wants to see somebody like that took out the game. Niggas just wanted to see Nas stand up & he did in a major way. But Jay was hitting with facts..hard to say he really lost that battle
@Tea naw...Nas had a better beat but lyrically Jay took it
@@rcfresh4345 lyrically nas won all the way.
@@themadclown4077 nah
Nah, lyrically Jay took this
Jay lost his composure after this....he was clearly aiming for disrespect by smashing his baby moms....him and a.i., how is that official on any level....deep down he just wanted nas to do the bring on record and felt slighted....crying on the radio and having ma dukes saying you went too far killed jay at the end of the day.
Never knew this was called super ugly... nice track
Definitely prefer this over both Takeover and Ether.
I will never forget.. it was me, Blacks, Big D, & my nigga Larry, who actually just died a few days ago… RIP 🙏🏾💯
But we was all in Larro Buick in 2001 riding around in Chicago on 63rd & Western and they premiered this on Power 92… so it comes on and I swear My nigga Larry pull over and we just listened to it, word for word, bar for bar, jab for jab.. and the car was bouncing up & down from us jumping around in that bitch going krazy!! Especially when the “left a condoms on yo baby seat” part came up, and we was wilding so hard we all just hopped out the whip and shaking each other hand like He killed him!!! it’s over!!! celebrating like we won a championship… and then they played it again and we all stop and just ran back to the whip and he pulled off… shit was wild.. wish I can tag my niggaz in this comment man… that shit brung back good ass memories… RIP my nigga man 💯

Idk how ppl could say Jay lost is clearly to me Jay z know how to put a sogn and diss and keep it simple for easy replay
that first verse was legendary
I actually always thought this and Blueprint 2 were more disrespectful than Takeover

"Kick ya little lies, I'll kick my real facts"
Jay Z actually clapped back and did the impossible. He climbed back up after Ether. Only to apologize for it later. Who the hell do you think you are?! J. Fold?!
Man - 18 years later I still think Jay took it. Fuck Hot 97's poll.
People forget about the Blue Print 2. Jay went in on that. I’m a QueenS nigga & a heavy NaS supporter but I think they’re tied up. Take Over & Blue Print 2 was crazy. I think Super Ugly was trash. It was rushed though. Ether was super hard & don’t forget about last real nigga alive from Godsons album. Although it wasn’t a diss he explained the whole beef thing. It was hard too. I give it to both of them. True Hip Hop legends & icons.
@@Nitty03RD i agree. ended in a stalemate. queens nigga aswell and blueprint 2 is the most underrated diss song of all time.
