Was "Last Real Nigga Alive" More Etherous than "Ether"?

[mrclassick]

Yes it is

It's so overrated that the person who that song was directed at was cheerful and happy when being interviewed at Hot 97 about it

Wonk wonk........

 

[arbitration]

It doesn't matter what Nas said or what you think, Jay Z has the Lady he wants, Nas ?, Paying child support and still getting played by these chicks out, He just won't smarten up.

With all due respect, this thread isn't about that. It's about a comparison between 2 songs. If you want to start the 1000th who won the beef thread, go post your own thread.

It's not dumb shyt, if you use common sense.

Nas opponent doesn't have the ability, nor motivation, to think of music/song-writing, beyond a profit he can make. He said it himself, on Reasonable Doubt

when he told lames that he was only in this shyt to make a profit-----so he won't have the same motivation nor wavelength, when writing songs, like happy-go-lucky niggus such as Nas have

here we go!!

2012, i dont get how an emcee who gave us ILLmatic is a Clown. So u like to hate on Nas but u love praisin dat faggot flop Mayweather? It dont make sense bruh. Ether is the GOAT Diss and i see it as pointless debatin bout a rappers wealth. Lets talk music. And yall dont wanna go there. LOL!

Allow me to go there, You have A point to A degree, Take away all of Jay Z's outside ventures and just add the record sales, Jay Z beats Nas, Only option you're left with is to call us fans mindless stans or we don't know music, either way you shouldn't blame the fans, Oh yeah I have both Nas & Jay Z's music, But I'll let you tell it.

After all these years the fact that this battle still ignites such passion says alot. Jigga fans are a lot like republicans critiquing Obama. They wanna say and believe that Obama didnt do shit, that hes so terrible, that hes this hes that. But deep deep down in their heart of hearts, they know that boy did that!!

I don't know what Nas did besides rap on A track dissing Jay Z, I take it you thought it was good, But comparing me who is A Fan to A Republican, That's where I draw the line, That's A blood in your mouth get your back dirty kind of statement.

 

[Cabana_Da_Don]

Nas is not lightskin bro.

Anyways the last real nigga alive is a classic.I like the part that he talks about raekwon and biggie.

When niggas wanna argue about music solely, other niggas start bringing in material wealth and album sales

Some shit don't change, SMH

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Only Jay fans can live through another nigga's pocket and have sexual fantasies through him and his wife.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Don't get me wrong, Ether is obviously the greatest KO diss track of all time. But Last Real Nigga Alive was spit from a perspective of truth. Nas was just rhyming about real ass events as they unfolded, plus that last line was just cold-blooded. "It hurt me when I had to kill him, and his whole squad for dolo.

Damn.

To Nas fans (like myself) that shit was worse than ether because it put everything in perspective and made Jay look like a dude filled with bitchassness. He made dude seem like he was a snake on the highest level, like dude had no morals. The stuff Nas was saying about Jay in that song, made it so no real dude could even fuck with Jay anymore. That shit was just disgusting, about how bad Jay wanted to be dude, and how he idolized dude. How he was trying to take his spot, and then when Nas takes a break to take care of his sick mother that's when Jay smells blood and attacks.

Basically, Nas destroyed his character and broke down who he was as a man or lack thereof. He destroyed his mind and soul lol. He made JayZ shift from a hip-hop star to a pop "I need to make the charts" artist. It was like JayZ knew he could no longer run the race of the best emcee, so he went another route, and decided to become a hip-POP artist instead.

... Too bad there's no way to tell if Nas was telling the truth about all that shit or if Nas was simply bending the truth like most of us do in a roast session.

Co sign.....It's amusing to get in this thread and see niggas talk about shit that happen AFTER the battle was over that has nothing to do with the bars!!! If Ether was overrated it wouldn't be its own catch phase and this is the same Joint that had Jay at radio stations cryin and sounding like an emotional faggot like the Jigga warriors get on this site. In terms of feelings being caught (which I thought was the point of battles) It's the best diss song of all time only because aside from those reports that Biggie confronted Faith after hit em up dropped, we don't really know if the song It'self had the nigga crying. Hit em did make Big pull a papa Doc tho and not respond on the spot but I'm talkin about a reciprocal so and so answered back battle...you can't deny what ether did if you have any objectivity at all

 

[I'm THAT guy...]

Ether was overhyped though, Last Real Nigga Alive is much better.

 

[bdbdbd]

yeh i always thought the same...or atleast its a disguntingly underated song...from the title of the song to the final KO line....shit is dopeness

 

[Mister B.]

I put up a topic of BP2 vs. Last Real Nigga Alive, and no one said much.

Guess it just stings all over again.

 

[Silverfoxxx]

Life Is Good dunn. Nas the best to ever do it. GOAT

 

[rip.dilla]

You don't put out a track, like Ether, then go beg it's victim for a job 4 years later

lank ... ?
