Lets be serious dudes still dont know what an ether is Nas won off of that alone. Black folks like new words
You never answered my question concerning Bp2 song
Dont even know why you asking, you already know where it would go. The whole "fact vs fiction" argument, then the "black girl lost/you owe me" "contradiction". We've been here before.
Look, when this came out...Jay fans (and Jay too, apparently) were hurt. There was no doubt who won at *that* moment. It wasn't close. It wasn't a debate. Ether was it. At least in the circles I ran in.
Then SuperUgly came out and it just wasn't strong enough. It wasn't angry enough. It was kinda...corny. Still jokey. Even if true, it was just a corny thing to say. _'s didn't really honor that.
All the post game, super slow mo, box score analysis is whatever. The moment matters. And at *that* moment...Jay and The Roc were looking bad in these streets.
Ive always said this. Whatever "in retrospect" opinion is kinda irrelevant, just off the strength that they are friends now. Thats why I never understood the "Jay won the war" talk, it wasnt a damn war. Takeover = Ether imo, but Ether just had a bigger impact at the time. That cant be argued.
