[*basick*]

Rockefeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after? that was dope

that wasnt dope that was a lie... rockafella wasn't even alive when AIDS was discovered, that was 50+ yrs past his time...

and the i rock hoes yall rock fellas that was dope... im beginning to think you dont even know that much about rap and you just makin sh*t up

[*basick*]

ok sorry for double posting the edit button is f*cked up for me so anyways you obviously didnt read my last post about the facts of ether if you are too lazy to read the whole thing read the last part. but ill post it here again.

while i was reading through your fairly accurate but biased review of ether and takeover, i noticed you didnt have any comments about this part of the song

milin in my face, glad to break bread with the god
Wearin Jaz chains, no tecs, no cash, no cars
No jail bars Jigga, no pies, no case
Just Hawaiian shirts, hangin with little Chase
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a p*ssy, a Stan
I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class

now read this - like for instance ether was all true except for Jay age,Jaz o told nas all that info.remeber when nas said hanging with little chase,well chase is a short cat from marcy who Jay used to follow around back in the days. Jaz O told alot of dirt on hov that nas did not even use but you notice how nas mentioned Jaz names 4 seperate times in the song?

also you didnt mention this part of the song either.

Ha, R-O-C get gunned up and clapped quick
J.J. Evans get gunned up and clapped quick
Your whole damn record label gunned up and clapped quick

well, in case you didnt know, the rocafella records was just sold (reportadely). im not saying nas had anyhing to do with it, but it came true in the end didnt it?
and you talking about how lloyd banks has better punchlines and sh*t but being a good/great battle rapper does not make you a good rapper period. i mean, look at cassidy. he can kill anyone in a battle but youre not gonna mistake him for a good rapper are you? or jin. he is ill when battling but his songs have been wack lately (except hands off thats pretty hot).

i aint saying battle artists cant be good rappers (elliot ness) but im sayin you dont hafta be a good battle rapepr to be a good rapper. nas doesnt even battle.

anyways, back to takeover. you didnt post the whole song! you post the whole "ether" which you classified as half fillers. how about you and i listen to takeover.

I don't care if you Mobb Deep, I hold triggers to crews
You little f*ck, I've got money stacks bigger than you
When I was pushin weight, back in eighty-eight
you was a ballerina I got your pictures I seen ya
Then you dropped "Shook Ones," switch your demeanor
Well - we don't believe you, you need more people
Roc-A-Fella, students of the game, we passed the classes
Nobody could read you dudes like we do
Don't let 'em gas you like Jigga is ass and won't clap you
Trust me on this one - I'll detach you
Mind from spirit, body from soul
They'll have to hold a mass, put your body in a hole
No, you're not on my level get your brakes tweaked
I sold what ya whole album sold in my first week
You guys don't want it with Hov'
Ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov', nooooo!

hmm... that was pretty wack wasnt it... but the "we don't believe you you need more people" always makes me laugh. previous verse please

The takeover, the break's over nigga
God MC, me, Jay-Hova
Hey lil' soldier you ain't ready for war
R.O.C. too strong for y'all
It's like bringin a knife to a gunfight, pen to a test
Your chest in the line of fire witcha thin-ass vest
You bringin them Boyz II Men, HOW them boys gon' win?
This is grown man B.I., get you rolled in the triage(?)
Beatch - your reach ain't long enough, dunny
Your peeps ain't strong enough, fucka
Roc-A-Fella is the army, better yet the navy
Niggaz'll kidnap your babies, spit at your lady
We bring - knife to fistfight, kill your drama
Uh, we kill you motherf**kin ants with a sledgehammer
Don't let me do it to you dunny cause I overdo it
So you won't confuse it with just rap music

rocafella is the army, better yet the navy... compared to ethers first verses, id say ether > takeover

how about the last verses, you kindly put up the last verses of ether, while only putting up the meat of takeover

A wise man told me don't argue with fools
Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who
So stop with that childish sh*t, nigga I'm grown
Please leave it alone - don't throw rocks at the throne
Do not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you
I don't know why your advisors ain't forewarn you
Please, not Jay, he's, not for play
I don't slack a minute, all that thug rappin and gimmicks
I will end it, all that yappin be finished
You are not deep, you made your bed now sleep
Don't make me expose to them folks that don't know you
Nigga I know you well, all the stolen jew-els
Twinkletoes you breakin my heart
You can't f*ck with me - go play somewhere, I'm busy
And all you other cats throwin shots at Jigga
You only get half a bar - f*ck y'all niggaz

i dont even to write comments on that verse... but im willing to say, nas won the battle (ether vs takeover) but jay won the war. i got love for both rappers none the less

i dont even to write comments on that verse... but im willing to say, nas won the battle (ether vs takeover) but jay won the war. i got love for both rappers none the less

you keep contradicting yourself so you keep making yourself look like a moron... I don't know hip hop but I know all that sh*t about MCing and hip hop and rappers 'n songs from our history and history of rappers careers 'n sh*t.... you still haven't posted a response to Eminem sitting right next to Nas at the Hip Hop Summit in Detroit last year... c'mon, seriously, once again, GET SMART....

and as for the karate class sh*t... it was all fillers and then he tried to throw in a personal but that was a lie... Jay-Z ain't in a karate class nor takes tai bo.... he takes boxing lessons... once again, another lie/attempt at a diss

and you try to diss that verse from Takeover but are you serious!?!?! we're judging a battle between Nas and Jay-z... you can't even judge a battle based on that verse cuz that wasn't towards Nas at all... it was towards Prodigy and he just threw in Nas's name at the end in order for 'em to setup the next verse....

AND DUMMY, EVEN THAT OTHER VERSE YOU POSTED... THAT'S NOT EVEN A BATTLE AGAINST NAS... IT WAS THAT ONE VERSE AT THE END THAT WAS COMPLETELY INTENDED AT NAS.... THAT'S LIKE COMPARING A SONG THAT WAS COMPLETELY AIMED AT AN ARTIST TO A GENERIC VERSE OF THE PERSON AIMED AT THAT JUST TALKS ABOUT: "DON'T F*CK WITH ME"...

you're seriously retarded for bringin' the other two verses into it... I only judged the disses at each other.... how you gonna judge the part where he's dissin' a completely different rapper while judging a battle between Nas and Jay-Z... LMAO

and you tell me I don't know what i'm talkin' about... c'mon kid

once again, even the last verse wasn't a diss at Nas directly... it was basically tellin' everyone who didn't like 'em to f*ck off... if you're judging a battle, you gotta judge when they're goin' at each other... your ignorant ass basically did somethin' like goin' to a battle and judging a battle between two cats by judging MC (A)'s verse against another battle he had in the tournament against MC (B)'s verse against MC A... that's just straight up dumb sh*t... c'mon, you can't be that ignorant can you????

[pbear]

I think Kanye West is one of the best rappers out there.
I don't know if he's the best though.

[LiLEthiopian]

umm..Nas, Jay-z at times....[lmao..'gay-z and c*ckafella]--hehe..when i heard that..i couldn't stop laughing..but Jay-z is cool..

[*basick*]

ok doggie i already responded to the nas and em subject, i said nas dissed em on HOT 97 which was true and they might have smoothend things out or something the way nas and puffy smoothed things out. (remember the puff diss on the lost tapes).

nas aint even the GOAT i ain't saying anyone is the GOAT i just say that you dont give nas enough credit.

i feel both nas and jay (no homo lol) and they both hot sometimes and complete garbage other times you know? and like common says

"There's so many thrones, why we argue who is the king?"

ok i aint even going to say anything elseto you cause we obviously believe diffent and thats cool and ill but ill do me and youll do you alright? this was a gay topic BTW, created by some fool that doesnt even know anything about rap. and all you guys who said 50 or chingy or luda was the GOAT, you need to be slapped.

and one more thing , F1R3B4T you need to listen to some real rap alright? ok im out

[gerundio]

Wow, Kanye is a horrible lyricist. His beats are good, but his lyrics suck. I can't believe so many people like him. His album is sooooo played out.

And if you think 50, Nelly, and friends and faggots are the best rappers ever don't even post please.

I'd have to say the best rapper today is:

Talib Kweli.

Whoever said Chingy should die.

[rainnydaiis]

dude Llloyd banks is tyte =P

omg..i used to think the sameway about kanye..but so many ppl around me LOVED him...so it kinda grows on u..

but i agree..i don't really like 50 Cent..[who cares if u got shot nine times??..shut the hell up before u get popped again.. ]--lol

and nelly..never really liked him..EVER..but then again i knew the words to his songs..heh

and Chingy...don't really concider him a rapper..he's just..there..XD

[pnoy_illuzion]

i would have to say Thai, a vietnamese rapper from P.O.(Portland, Oregon). hes basicly a asian version of 2pac

[vivieeeen]

If I said "Jin".. would i get beaten up?

[patrick004]

i would have to say Thai, a vietnamese rapper from P.O.(Portland, Oregon). hes basicly a asian version of 2pac

I heard of him, he sucks lyrically but his flow is quick and is almost as good as a Bone Thug.

[gerundio]

dude Llloyd banks is tyte =P

Are you serious? He's horrible.

[*basick*]

If I said "Jin".. would i get beaten up?

jin is alright, but lately it seems that his freestyles are better then his singles... hands off was a hot track tho

omg..i used to think the sameway about kanye..but so many ppl around me LOVED him...so it kinda grows on u..

personally i think kanyes lyrics are simplistic but they good cause its different from all this other trash on the radio. he has lots of quotables

[xquizit]

yeah, lyrically and flow wise, kanye skills are limited... especially when you compare him to the likes of Mos Def, Common, or Talib Kweli. But at least his music has meaning which is what separates him from the other mainstream rappers out now.

[Tru3pinoy]

Ofcourse my favorite rapper of all time is tupac ^_^

[highly_evolved]

eek ban ol. hes not that famous but he raps like a mad man

[KrAzi3piNoY]

i think mine would be pdiddy i like the way he did his rappin and stuff

[SystemDamaged]

Eminem for sure

[MasterNe0]

Eminem I guess. I don't listen to rap these days anymore.

[nyctophiliac]

none of them
i hate rap
