People say, Nas was just name calling but, people don't peep the genius of what he said on Ether. Every single line was a head basher. He read Jay-Z like a children's book. This is who you are. Your money means nothing when your character is wack. Jay-Z got famous by being a sidekick. Nas debut album had no guest features and was a classic. People was mad at Nas for not getting on his joint. Nas read out all that trash. Nas broke up Roc-a-Fella. He even called it while he was doing it. "Is it Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or, Dame Dummy oh I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy Ew." He knew Jay would hear that and "Takeover" Dame's label. Nas made Jay-Z step up from artist to billionaire. "And now I smile like a proud dad watching his only son that made it" Nas was way too cold for what people really want to give him credit for. Then the next track was, Hope you got your gun.. Which people think was about beefing but it was a message. You keep playing around and you gon need to go back to jacking and selling dope. Stillmatic was simply outstanding.

I always felt Jay Z became a music industry pawn. You can tell there was a shift after Tupac and Biggie died...Which is when I stopped really paying attention to music, even as a little kid I seen it. That was when Jay Z was black balling cats like DMX. Nas was to big and wise to cancel tho...I think Jay Z thought because Nas isn't considered a freestyler/Battle rapper Jay Z thought he could end Nas career on wax. I feel like my feelings have been validated on Jay Z being a pawn seeing as his career actually got bigger after losing the beef. At no time in HipHop history did that ever happen before this beef...All the way back to Krs one and Mc Shan.

Takeover was a Mobb Deep diss ..he tacked on a verse about Nas after Nas's 'H to the Omo' came out . Ether was a response to the Takeover verse ..Jay took mad long to respond because Ether made major impact in the industry. Jay came back with the SuperUgly freestyle which was sub-par. He also was rediculed for what people thought was a low-blow with the 'condoms in the baby seat' line ..Jay also tried to diss Nas with the Blueprint 2 title track, but by that time, it was a well-drawn out conclusion that Jay-Z lost .. ..with time passing and Jay doing well financially through liquor sales, th new generation thinks Jay-Z , but he definitely lost this one -Reddit

Think about how powerful Jay’s Summer Jam performance was. Performing Takeover for the first time when nobody heard it. He and the Roc are at full strength. The Prodigy pics on the screen. Bringing Michael Jackson out. Dropping The Blueprint 2 months later. For the whole world especially NYC to immediately side with Nas over Ether. Stillmatic wasn’t even out yet just shows the magnitude of what Nas did. And he changed the hip hop lingo forever. “You got Ethered” we all know what that means now

They’re lucky that’s all that happened. If they played a 50 or Fat Joe or Dre diss while they were in the club, the DJ would have ended up in a hospital. Anyone would get upset at you playing a diss while they are in the building lol. Imagine playing Drop A Gem while Tupac is in the club? DJ would be getting mopped on his head all through the club. Jay is mild mannered since that stabbing case almost cost him his career
