"Ether" calls Jay out for being insecure about his looks. Before "Ether" nobody really knew if Jay was romantically involved w/ anybody besides Nas's BM, Carmen which wasn't made public until after "Ether." "Ether" drops and Jay Z scoops up the baddest chick in the game. Was this to compensate and safe face?
Before "Ether", Jay wasn't making any major business moves besides him being co-CEO of the Roc and doing the Roc-A-Wear clothing line. After "Ether", Jay's doing shoe deals, retiring from music to become one of the owners for the Mets, opens 40/40, becomes president of Def Jam. Again, was this to compensate? I mean, Nas said "I get it, you Biggie, and he's Puffy."
Before "Ether", Jay never made concessions, but after "Ether", the song "Blueprint 2" (an ill song, but weak diss) finds Jay basically whining about how Nas cheated to win. The double disc finds Jay reminding everyone of his accomplishments which is the same reminder we've been given on every release since barring American Gangster. Thos albums find Jay Z basically rapping his resume. Again, was he trying to compensate?
This is just an observation. Jay Z is one of the greatest rappers ever, but "Ether" was damaging.

In terms of making music, Nas discography continues to get stronger while Jay's gets weaker.

His biggest hit since he 'retired' is 'empire state of mind'... Hmmm
