If Jay had taken his time after Ether and had come back with a entire diss song dedicated to Nas (no freestyle like Supa Ugly, no part diss like BP2), he would have won the battle, and Nas would be meaningless right now. Jay made one mistake after another once Ether dropped.
- rushing an answer to Ether and seeming desperate considering the wackness of Supa Ugly
- mumbling on the radio like a mental patient
- admitting he lost on BP2 (which i can respect but at the same time its a sign of weakness)
- like I said, not making a "real" answer, a whole diss song.
Just imagine Jay coming back with Takeover 2 one month after Ether. 48 bars dissing the shit out of Nas. It would have been a blowout.
