Jay-Z Could've Got The Beat For Ether Before Nas

Ron Browz tells the story of shopping the beat for Ether to Jay-Z before Nas created his iconic diss song. #atlanta #musicinsider #muiscindustry #motivation #raydaniels #fyp #shorts

[@Notafemalecasual]

That beat was calling for Nas

[@RayDanielsPresents]

You're right!!

[@seanharris140]

Came in the comments looking for this specific comment. Thought the same. Beat was itching for Nas. Lol. Uck JayZ. Lol.

[@uncledrew9062]

The ancestors was with Nas,, It went exactly how it was supposed to go.

[@JP-gx8fc]

This is the best comment I've seen 💯

[@easportslegend]

Exactly it humble jay Z and it’s a reminder to Hov he’s not untouchable.

[@gabrielmorales5712]

Jay-Z would have done nothing with it, that beat was like Excalibur, only Nas could handle it

[@marinotraj]

100%

[@otterdonnelly9959]

“…like Excalibur” Why is that actually so spot on? 😭 he really the Chosen One.

[@RayDanielsPresents]

Exactly!!

[@darwinashby7368]

Ill analogy

[@Devilsadvocate1281]

Right!!!! Nas! Vocals were perfect for it. His nasal sound was meant for it. Gave it more power! More iconism. It’s like all these other girls singing on a Timbaland beat.. they alright but the AINT Aaliyah.

[@davidortiz9577]

It was destiny. Nas greatness was meant for that beat.

[@RayDanielsPresents]

Amen!!

[@kavanah30]

That Beat requires a true HipHop artist. Only the Top 5 Rappers could make a hit using that monster of a beat.

[@judahscattered4corners694]

They tryna downplay that lyrical ass whoopin Nas handed out

[@_Duke__]

How

[@_Duke__]

Their explaining what happend 😂

[@deedee-ew6so]

TRUE Jay will NEVER touch what NAS does lyrically. Dude being messy

[@seanquinn8790]

@@_Duke__ “coming up” Nas had already arrived

[@RickBrown-c6u]

Accurate

[@MayhemBryan]

Nas wouldve just done it over a different beat, thats the power of a real lyricist.

[@mrharmon100]

Y'all lyricist dudes ruin hip hop so much it's so much more that goes into rhyming the beat was absolutely necessary

[@MayhemBryan]

@mrharmon100 don't put Nas in the same box as j Cole and kendrick. He's not boring like them and they get better beats than him.

[@obuilebodigelo1655]

It landed on the right hands.

[@jamesgibson3716]

Freaking facts!!!!

[@ace-solo]

Nas won that battle with ether

[@sharonglover9432]

Nas could’ve used a Spice Girl beat and still would’ve slaughtered Jayz! It’s the lyrics not the music! Big difference 😂😂😂

[@jamesgibson3716]

Yeah true but the beat enhanced the beat down

[@mrharmon100]

No it is not the beat is just as important

[@sloaiza81]

The beat has nothing to do with the lyrical soul burning beatdown NAS gave Jay.

[@davidblackley9074]

The better emcee already won 😂

[@sherwinpierre8586]

Jay won the war

[@davidblackley9074]

There no such thing

[@shemereali551]

​@@sherwinpierre8586How is that Nas won the battle and the war 30 years and he's still going strong it's like Nas is still in his prime in 2023 named best rapper and album of the year that's what u call Timeless 👑🎉 jay-gay-z hasn't dropped an Album in 10 years that let's u know Ether still in his head point blank period

[@JA-mj9re]

Jay couldnt do shit on that beat only nas. Nas on another level.

[@prodigal4422]

That beat was definitely not Jay Z style. The original verse on Ether was even crazier. They begged Nas to change his verses.

[@HeavenFace]

what difference a beat would of make when the lyrics are coming from Nas the GOAT same damage he would of drop or harder gtfoh

[@dunkmajor]

Beat definitely set the tone

[@imperialstats]

Yea Nas was going to go off regardless

[@knowledgehieghts9612]

We love that nas gotten it bro cause j ain't lyrical like nas over all bro and that's facts bro.

[@highvaluemale4866]

So true. Industry ppl was even helping to save jay cause nas was taking it to him vicious and hard.

[@waynewigginton1400]

Stop it. Couldn’t imagine anyone else but NaS killing that off tempo masterpiece. Just so happens it was at Jay-Z’s expense. Queens 🥷 run you 🥷 ask Russel Simmons.

[@skrillztheentourage]

EeeetherBoyyy 🔥

[@highvaluemale4866]

I remember that time clearly. Jay had the spotlight and a lot of folk didn’t really know what nas was about. I took it personal when jay fired shots at nas. When I got home and put that disc in my cd player, that ether track came on I was punching the air in celebration. Nas went in, y’all kiss the ring before my ash is out on these niggas!!!

[@juliusangel2774]

The beat don't mean shit , Nas rhymes is the gem on that beat

[@RayDanielsPresents]

Lol

[@treyharris8408]

Exactly 💯

Oh I can def listen to Ron Browze stories💯💪🏿😎🔥

[@tebogomaphephe3470]

The king is back where my crown at

[@kamelody7285]

The beat was not a good beat . I've been listening to hip hop since the early 90s . What happens is that Nas can rap even on a jingle bells music and still sounds amazing.

[@marinammm22]

Say more

[@YSuniverse856]

Crazy shout out to Ron Browz fr excellent producer

[@Dimples718]

That beat was tailor made for the lyrical genius, NAS!

[@Bless2bealive]

Doesn't matter the beat nas still would've created a masterclass type Flo on whatever beat he wanted to respond.

[@truthmartyr]

Nigga takeover was better lmso ..we talkin kanye vs Ron browz

[@jamaicavincy6643]

It’s not a about the Beat ! It’s the BARZZZZ

[@jayhayes2192]

It's both, bro. The instrumental is just as lethal as the lyrics.

[@change_your_style]

People to scared to put someone on

[@deesavage5198]

That is a critical shift in hip-hop

[@troyg.173]

Besides the beat, the shit that Nas was saying on that beat still would have ethered Jay on any beat

[@5StarHeneral]

Nas was the man and jay took the crown illegitimately sold his soul for it

[@spr95que42]

Jay would've Ethered himself.

Naaah you're clowning ur man jay with this comment, using the verb "ether" which was a destructive weapon against him as a wish that he would have @@RayDanielsPresents

[@ceedee7647]

I gotta think the Hip Hop Gods for that 1

[@ceedee7647]

Nas did that beat proper justice

[@spliffveron]

Story would not change one beat. That lyrical napalm is engraved in stone forever. Nas could have spit that over dog barks and still destroyed the man.

[@DefSquadFan]

Nas would have won with any beat. He was the crowd favorite.

[@ordinarychildhood]

Makes the story more interesting

[@PrinceCharming169]

I’m a huge Jay fan so even I was ready to load up the gunz and head to Queens, NY when I heard that shit 😫🤦🏽‍♂️ it was like 911 all over again smh 🙏🏽

[@walteregbara4692]

Nas embraced it with Naplam.Nas is lyrically the best between both.Ether is one of the best Diss song ever

[@sco9mm166]

Is that the only Nas song they've heard? (That's been Nas' biggest/only criticism - his beats selection) Nas, one of the top 3 lyricist of all time, is going to win a battle 99% of the time. This is the first time I heard someone downplay Nas' skills. And no, history would not have been "different".

[@christopherwilson6045]

And That's The Way The Cage Bird Sings.... ETHER.....

[@BMW-E-Class]

Then Nas would have dropped a bigger bomb then ether because regardless how the beat sounds. The lyrics alone ended Jay Z and I haven’t mentioned the rhythm when Nas is rapping on the mic as well. That beat was calling for Nas anyway but Jay Z would have lost regardless

[@shemereali551]

That wasn't jay-gay-z type beat that line up with his flow same with hitboy who went to jay first but turned him down both was perfect for Nas da Ether beat and Nas working with hitboy 30 years later being named the best rapper along with the best Album in 2023 and also making the Greatest diss track of All Times with Ether like Nas said History made 👑

[@nagibfarjani4861]

The Ether Production was NOT written for Jigga, it was written to take him out in conjunction with Ether’s lyrics! 👉🏻🔥

[@shanpierce7402]

Nas lyrics is what did j in not the beat it helped tho 😆

[@kennywhateva6279]

Jay wouldn’t have done what NAS DID WITH THAT BEAT ..

[@focuz4899]

Ain't heard from that A&R since.

[@judahisrisingyahschosen9481]

Jay still would have had laid an egg..Nas was to sharp and to focused..he would have killed Jay on any beat

[@seanpaul6736]

He couldn't handle that you can't ride on that he had no smoke for that ether

[@RayDanielsPresents]

👀

[@juliusangel2774]

Even if jay got the beat his verse still wouldn't be hot as Nas , so it is pointless

[@RayDanielsPresents]

true!

[@thinkbetter49ers]

facts

[@imperialstats]

Jay wouldn't have done nothing to that beat Nas killed it but it didn't matter what beat Nas had he was going murder Jay

[@thetunkmaster]

And nas used it to diss Hov, and history shows that both nas Jay has gotten richer, nas fans still love nas and Jay fans still loves Jay and both nas and Jay are kool with each other. Only thing is these rabid ass fans are out of order.

[@RayDanielsPresents]

💯

[@jzurita6186]

Hov should freestyle to ether and esco to take over 😂😂 itll be dope

Crazy the guy who made the beat said giving it to Jay it would have been different... The beat did half the damage...

Ether

[@user-dalastdon]

Gay-z can't handle special hard beats that's exactly why eminem killed gay-z on renegade track his verses was completely garbage and if anybody listens to that track with eminem and Jay-z they will hear why nas said in ether that eminem murdered you on your on shit on the track called renegade em snapped on it the kid went off crazy on that track 🔥💯

[@PardonMyGenius]

The beat is trash though Nas made that song what it was

[@godlovesus4165]

And Jay z lost the battle In his Assassination by Nas Nas Murdered Jay z Lyrically by the beat they never gave to Jay z, was the same beat Nas gave Jay z his funeral wit

[@LD-ed2jv]

Nas would’ve still destroyed j on any beat y’all would’ve given him! He is a lyrical monster! Don’t come for him!!!😇
