My older cousin use to play this DVD so much Lmaoo I was the Jay fan this nigga will die for Nas
Released in 2001, “Ether” was Nas’ response to Jay-Z’s “Takeover,” and what followed became one of the most important moments in battle rap history. On the iconic diss. Nas was questioning Jay’s entire identity, from his street credibility to his place in New York hip-hop. Produced by Ron Browz, the record became so influential that “ethered” eventually entered rap vocabulary as a way of describing somebody getting lyrically dismantled. The aftermath was just as significant: Hot 97 held a listener poll that favored Nas over Jay-Z’s “Supa Ugly,” giving the feud a public verdict that extended beyond record sales.

Jay’s music career is literally his life story.
I can argue that he’s the best storyteller in hip-hop for the simple fact that it’s all true.
These niggas just can’t appreciate it because it’s not a bunch of made up fantastical fairytales that never happened.
Jay is the most vivid and HONEST storyteller in hip-hop.
Everything he raps about either really happened in his life or he witnessed it through those close to him.
And the best part is, you can basically fact check everything he says. Even the people he has issues with will corroborate his stories. There’s never inconsistencies or contradictions in his stories.
Joe Budden brought up the reports that Jay-Z will headline the next Super Bowl halftime show, and the cast was split.
Ish says he doesn't like it, even though he's a huge Jay fan. He doesn't like Jay's NFL ties, and he thinks it's unfair for Jay to pick himself for his own show.
The cast pushed back that Jay has let others perform for years already.
Ice isn't feeling it much either.
Marc and Parks are excited. Marc wants to know who the guests will be, and he's sure we'll see Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Rihanna.
Emanny says the timing is perfect with the Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint anniversaries, and that some artists need a Super Bowl on their résumé.
Joe isn't excited. When Kendrick and Bad Bunny were announced, he could picture the storytelling right away. With Jay, he can't.
Emanny says Jay can tell a street story from the block in 13 minutes, but Joe still doesn't see it.
He asked if Jay is a better storyteller than Biggie, and most of the cast said it's not close, naming Big and Nas at the top.
Joe also said the Jay songs he'd want to hear are probably the ones Jay won't do. If he somehow gets MC Hov, he'd be jumping in his living room. And if Jay does "Holy Grail" with Justin Timberlake and gets the set wrong, Joe says he's going to talk about it.
