if you honestly think jay-z is a better rapper than nasir jones

[Fart]

@uh-oh
who do you think can rhyme about your dirt beard better? nas.

[uh-oh]

jay could sum it up in half a bar where nas would dedicate an essay to it

both would be dope. jay's line would be in a song with more replay value to it though.

[Fart]

so u agree

[uh-oh]

jay>nas

forever

[Badweather]

i only like one of jay-z's songs...and it's only because of the instrumental.

[big baby]

uh oh cant bite cause he lost his teeth lol

lmao

Nas. Nuff said. Cam'ron's "Swaggerjack" did justice though. I listen to Jay, he cool, but Nas is THAT nigga. While he may not have an album that sold as much as Jays, he still went 9 albums straight platinum, without being a mainstream bubble gum junky. Holler.

Ether.

ether is so far beyond any other diss track
It's like the fucking Bible of diss tracks but if the Bible was true
I don't give a fuck what else Jay-Z did in his whole motherfucking career, nobody is coming back from ether

But yeah, Nas never uses allusion to pay homage.

Surely you are smart enough to understand the entire beef was fabricated to increase interest in both and East Coast rap at a key time in the genre's history, right? And surely you understand that after "Ether," Jay Z only grew more famous and more successful, right?

I know some people here are Simpletons, but I expect more out of you than this.

[oats]

I much preferred Hit Em Up, or Bully, to Ether.

I can't say I prefer one artist to the other, cuz each have albums in their discography that I love as well as albums that are shit. Illmatic is the best of either of their albums though. Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt better than the majority of Nas' material though.

"Hit 'Em Up" is terrible. The only good line is the plainly stated "You claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife." Plus the Outlawz are the worst.

That's not how you pay homage...

to be real, if you're a hiphop head and didn't know Biggie said the line first without having to find out through some website online, shame on you

to anyone who knows their shit, they would have known it was biggie

Is the point not to actually dis the other person? I love "Ether." It's both more listenable and more aggressive than "Hit 'Em Up." The same is true for "Takeover." If the goal isn't to embarrass the other person through personal attacks, then what is it?
