.
The best diss record of all time. 1st verse knocked Jay-Z out cold. 2nd verse poured gasoline all over him. 3rd verse Nas lit his cigar then dropped the lighter on him.
3rd verse on that track is ruthless and the most honest look into who Jay really was.
Nas is one man no one should mess
With
His diss ro 50 cent turned 50 back into a fan where he belongs 😂😂 MC BURIAL. Nas demon will come out for the right person
Nas killed it!! Jay-Z is cool but on that battle….”Champion is Nas”! 💪🏽✊🏽
"It's like an aids test, what's the result?" Only 90s kids understand the impact of that line!
Nasty bar. Tell niggas all the time we survived crack and aids
Most sensible Irv I ever listened to.
Ether made Jay realize he was the world’s biggest asshole at the time and got dealt accordingly and grounded him because ever since we’ll see them both on equal terms.
We both put our heads down 😂😂😂😂 I love Nore
So dope to have grown up w/this shit🔥🔥
How it starts wi saying I WILL NOT LOSE inside other bars was 💥💥💥💥💥
Best diss record of all time... yes over Hit Em Up and No Vaseline
Ooohhhhh! Hit ‘Em Up, yes, but No Vaseline man I don’t know 😮
Ummmmmmmm....idk fam. But then again u might be right.
@@d-funksteryea5188 Its super close between the three but Id say:
1. Ether
2. CLOSE second No Vaseline
3. Hit em up
@@gooddopemusictv Super close on all three of them but id say Ether is #1. It's so...LAYERED. It's like a psychiatrist deconstructing a patient to his face.
I think 2nd round K.O by Canibus is an underrated diss track. People tend to overlook it. It's up there for me.
Nas said Tie Bo Hoe! Shidddddd 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I lost it!
Tae Bo**
@@deuceswild117 I'm southern Appalachian so it's Tie Damnit 😂😂😂😂😂 You're correct though
He destroyed his narcissism. That song is a minutes long narcissistic injury.
I was locked upstate when this whole nas and jay shit popped off had the whole jail picking sides on some shit lmao
Who was everyone jacking?
@@Notafemalecasual everyone was jackin nas for shit sure
FAKTS was in Blinton ( that's Clinton Corrections, Dannamora NY) when this hit preparing for war with da Kings this shit stopped beef for 3 months 😂
@@tehutibrim594 I remember two white guys escaping from dannamora , a prison employee (female) of course helped them escape they both ended up getting shot on the run and one died the other got sent back ,
@@Guntherdagustapo I remember
BEST DISS record ever . Jay might be a Billionaire but he will always be remembered for being dissed
Jay also jas more successful qlbums than Nas
Nas is a Billionaire as well too
Great editing 👍
Nas unleashed a 5 headed dragon to burn the man down.
And one mic❤❤❤
That "Jay's a bastard" intro though 😂
Yep.said. it with his. Chest.
When Nas and Nore put their heads down!😂😂😂😂😂
Bro till this day I can remember everything where I was at when I first heard it and how I didn’t listen to anything else that day Either was on repeat 🔁
After Ether, they could NEVER be friends. That's why J still salty till this day😅
They weren’t friends before ether and became associates after so what are you saying.
So Jay and Bad haven't done music together? Y'all are lost man, and it's super crazy. Y'all really believe that this shit be real beef.
Have you been living 8n a cave or you just say whatever dumb thing you think about.
Definitely Monumental!!! S.I.P. To sun momdukes. She definitely told him son go body that dude,and the rest is History!!! The illest best hardest diss track Ever.
Nas is definitely a GOD mc
I respect Jay's mental fortitude, imagine listening to Ether for the first time and not hanging yourself afterwards
Why? Because another man called you ugly and gay? Get real! Listen to takeover and hear grown man diss not childish bs then super ugly smh
And especially about this song it gets better each verse
I pre-ordered this album, went to the record store, they were playing Ether, the WHOLE record store just bouncing, white boys looking at rock albums nodding, bill Cosby faced. Mfas was rolling tree outside, Cyphers jumping off. The radio station played the song hella times, that whole weekend was a moment, the club played it back to back to back. Der-Der "FUCK JAY-Z" all over the bay area
IKR!!! At the time my bf was a Jay fanatic I was/am a Nas fan. That fool was sick as a dog when that came out!! You would've thgt Jay died fr. I BLASTED IT in my car and dared him to touch my volume knob. He was HOT with me!!!😂😂😂
I would have love to see Hova's face at the club when the DJ put that song on while he s there I would've been giggling at him.
That dj is a savage 😂😂😂
Yo Nas Got This Off.. He knows it Burns Jay Z Azz Up knowing He isn't number #1 and Nas will be Forever Ether on Jay Z Soul.. Masterpiece!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 That Shyt that make your Soul burn Sloan😁😁😁😁😁
Nas ... is solid like titanium ❤
When Nas is chillin...leave that man alone. Do not wake up the Devil 😂
No, don't mess with God's children
Jay and Beyonce's kids listen to Ether when they're grounded haha
Jay "wants to be #1" but even to this day there was NEVER A YEAR when he was #1
Edit: y'all wilding in the comments. I never said jay didn't sell records, doesn't have awards or cant rap. When Jay Z came out till today there was NEVER a year when he was #1 period. Pac / Biggie.... DMX ...Nelly...Eminem...Wayne...Drake... were all out and literaly #1 in the game during there reign hell drake been #1 since I was 21 and Im fucken 35 now
There isn’t a year in his prime when he wasn’t top 5 let that marinate “ when u hot I’m hot when ya feet cold mines is sizzling “
Facts. He's a business man not a great rapper
Lol what do you consider #1?
Nah, but he still here 😂
@@Snapbackboy22 I've never met anyone who thinks Jay Z is #1
Jay actually revived Nas career by picking that fight.
Nas was already the goat
@@KP-ly3ek yes, but a goat fading into the sunset. Like if Jay picked a fight with Jadakiss. They have all the potential but Jay brings the spotlight.
Oh you gon say Jay wrote the verse for him too? lol smh.
@Nakama44 he isn't lying that 4th album was trash and I am had like 2 or three joints on there
All his albums before the Jay beef were platinum. Jay didn’t revive anything
Nas straight body bagged and tow tagged Jay Z with "ETHER"
This is the watered down version of ether the third tier. Nas had to take Beyonce off the record Cuz they were label mate and Columbia wasn't ready to put it out.
Beyonce was on ether ? Na I don't believe that
@@johnjegs4353he saying there was shots thrown at Beyonce
@@keiththebat1also Beyoncé was in Nas video. U owe me with ginuwine
I remember my dad showing me this diss and the video of him crying over this and playing this on my ipod
Ether was deadly! Amazing diss track
Man, the fact that we only hear the edited version of Ether is crazzzy!!
Ethered him had to pay him to not diss him. Nastrodamus
