Nas - Ether
"Ether" is a diss song to fellow New York rapper
Jay-Z, who had surpassed Nas in commercial success
since 1998 and had dismissed him as a has-been on
the diss track "Takeover." Nas responds to Jay's
claims by rapping, "I got this, locked since
Nine-One(1991), I am the truest/ Name a rapper
that I ain't influenced." The song contains
numerous gay-based slurs directed at Jay-Z: "When
these streets keep calling, heard it when I was
sleep/ That this Gay-Z and Cock-A-Fella Records
wanted beef," "First Biggie's your man, then you
got the nerve to say that you're better than Big/
Dick-suckin' lips, why don't you let the late
great veteran live," "You a dick-ridin' faggot,
you love the attention/ Queens niggas run you
niggas, ask Russell Simmons" and "Put it together/
I rock hoes; y'all rock fellas."
Nas also attacks Jay-Z's street cred, claiming,
"In '88, you was gettin' chased to your buildin'/
Callin' my crib, and I ain't even give you my
numbers/ All I did was give you a style for you to
run with." He also accuses Jay of selling out,
"Y'all niggas deal with emotions like bitches/
What's sad is I love you cause you're my brother,
you traded your soul for riches." He had lines
regarding Jay's unattractive appearance and
accuses him of misogyny, rapping, "You seem to be
only concerned with dissin' women/ Were you abused
as a child, scared to smile, they called you
ugly?" and "Foxy kept you hot, kept your face in
her puss/ What you think you gettin' girls now
because of your looks?" He also accuses Jay of
brown-nosing other rappers for fame: "Your ass
went from Jaz to hangin' with Kane, to Irv to Big/
And, Eminem murdered you on your own shit." Not
only does he criticize the usage of other rappers'
influence for increased fame, he mentions that
Eminem vastly outshined him on his song,
"Renegade". It was the only Blueprint track with a
guest rapping appearance, and many fans and
critics feel that Jay-Z was overshadowed by
Eminem's visceral, assonant rhymes. Finally, Nas
insults Jay-Z's biting of Big's lyrics, "How much
of Biggie's rhymes gonna come out your fat lips?".
