ether is OVERRATED
Takeover: Lays down irrefutable facts, witty & clever insults and rhyme schemes, along with a top notch beat produced by the great Kanye West
Hip hop fans: zzzzzzzzz
Ether: dusty trashcan beat plays GAY Z AND COCKAFELLER RECORDS WANTING BEEF 3 more minutes of playground insults
Hip Hop fans: HOLY SHIT OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I respect Nas’s contribution to the game and the fact that he has made classic albums and is top 10.
But just because you are a loyal Nas fan does not mean that Ether was automatically better than takeover. Because it really wasnt and im just stating my opinion without trying to be disrespectful to nas. My point is, even if youre a die hard nas fan, you shouldnt just automatically say ether is better.
Tbh the whole concept of Ether is pretty forced and seems like a try-hard song that Nas did out of desperation because he did not know how to respond to jay z. Almost every lyric in the song just seems so forced and sounds like he is trying to offend Jay-Z in the worst way possible after being legitamally hurt by takeover. Face it. Takeover made him catch some major feels and he sounded like a 5 year old writing a hate letter to his school rival. .
Even the opening
FUCK JAY Z !!!!!
^ come on. that sounds so forced and he thinks that jay will hear that and be like “oh shit, he said fuck jay z, what am i gonna do?”.
The hook is really corny and The whole damn song just sounds forced and a VERY desperate attempt to offend, all nas really does is say “oh, im so good, im the best, you suck, your gay”.
I mean srsly, just be honest here.
this song is overrated as fuck, I never understood the hype. Takeover is way better and it does it all in one verse. This is just a bunch of middle school insults and the worst thing it accuses is of jay using biggie rhymes.
that shit is the most corny diss song ever it sounded like some 8th grader battle rapping another corny ass 8th grader the flow is booty chains milkshakes and the beat sounds like it was made in 1 minute on fruity loop 2003.
