"Honestly, I think Jay Z won. Everybody say Nas won but honestly I think Nas won. Nas is my favorite rapper but Jay Z was pretty scandalous. Jay Z didn't let it go. When Nas was kind of letting it go, Jay Z didn't let it go. He was still throwing a jab out there and add people to his roster. Nas was going simply at Jay. It was like one time he mentioned somebody else, Jay was bringing his homies, [getting them] involved, his brother, everybody, just going at him. Jay felt some type of way after 'Ether.' ... Jay's the best rapper and they don't want to believe, even though Nas is my favorite, Jay's like LeBron, Jordan, Kobe. People just want to say [he's never lost] or hate or people just want to hate on Kobe." (VLAD TV)
Okay, you guys know I am a bigger Nas fan than I am of Jay Z, but I am going to try and be unbiased with my analysis of what Schoolboy Q is insinuating. He said Nas was an Underdog, and everybody supported him over Jay Z because of that. Hmm! That is definitely not what I remember. Everybody felt it was over for Nas after Takeover hit. In fact, the fast time I heard Takeover was at a party I threw. The party was over, and someone threw in the new Jay Z album (The Blueprint- 2001)...Takeover was the second track on that album, and after it finished playing, my friend looked at me and shook his head for Nas. As a big Nas fan, the song made my week miserable. It was like a deathblow, and I never thought Nas could top it. I guess that is why 'Ether's is so respected...it definitely not about people not wanting to admit that Jay Z was the best rapper ever (as School 'Boy' Q feels).
If Jay Z won, why did he say, and I quote...'I got stronger after Ether', off the diss track (Brooklyn High) he made for Jim Jones back in 2006. And, during the whole battle back in 2001, Hot 97 held a call in program, which allowed the public to vote on who had a better diss track...Jay Z got 48% and Nas got 52%. A Pretty close margin, but Nas still won. And it kinda solidified the Nas victory the whole thing, cos Jay Z had/has more radio following than Nas, so for the radio people to accept that Nas had a better diss track means just that. Besides, Q was just 14 years old when all this was going on. How much could he/did he really grasp? Let me just leave this alone before I type out an epistle. What do you guys think of what Schoolboy Q had to say?
