Happy Ether Day

This thread inspired me to search the internet archives all day to find the Ether 2 lyrics. I found the Stillmatic board but it only goes as far as Nov 25 2001 and then loops to March 2002. I did something and it pushed me to Jan 2 2002 page but I cannot get back. You can read some of the pre ether threads. Some still are accessable you just got to play around with HTML They still have the commercial to stillmatic where Ether is playing in background on main page in RAM format










This hiphopgamecom page is where I first heard Ether 14 years ago. The RAM still works on the page I just dont have skills to access it. This is the Kay Slay world premier version

Anyone remember when these lyrics were surfacing everywhere sometime between Takeover and Ether? I remember they showed up on some mixtape cover and thinking this ? could be pretty etherous, I think ahh asked Fat Joe about it in an interview

So you call yourself ? mc… J-hova\
? the glass of blasphemy & forgot to pray over\
your games over\ crossed the warpath of a brave soldier\
youre a makeover\ my protege trying to takeover\ I was the sheperd that led you\ But you bit the hand that fed you\ mad cause since I met you i never did respect you\ and as hard as it seems\ you know that I fathered your dreams\ you was a groupie always begging to be part of my team\ another case of a boy and his teacher\ I was the first to poison your speakers\ so ? all that noise that your preaching\ I understand\ all your plans to underhand\ aired threats of you pullin my card next summerjam\ let me make this clear hova\ You had my left overs\ she told me your little problem of the day when you slept over\ but thats another subject ? \ ***** you phony\
Im coming to collect the debt from the years that you owe me\ so what you capitlized... only cause i allowed\ Im taking aim at your dome\ and reclaiming my throne\
“Who said I that i aint still nasty”

Verse 2:

How you planned on facing\ the half man half-amazing\
Dont need a fam, Nas is a one man invasion\ claim you hot but you flopped with your roc-familia\ cause real recognize real and youre not familiar\
call yourself gansta but you were begging for pardon\
that night in carbon\ when terror squad flipped on your squadron\
Tried to front on their checks\ till pun put a gun to your chest\
YOu said it yourself dog, Nas is one of the best\
Dont need to search for some dirt to expose you\ I leave it up to the flow dispose you\ when i oppose you\ This is it Im calling ya\ come out and play like “warriors”\
studied my blueprint then pieced together your formula\
Guess the knowledge I speak too deep to follow\
that`s why your stomach to weak to swallow\ The real truth
that Nas is\ the greates of all timers\
f*ck skeletons, keep only weaponry in my closets

Calling my crib and I ain't even give you my number"

That line made me bust out laughing when I heard it

That Whole Song Was A Lyrical Short Stand Up special. Still remember pulling into my mom's backyard parking spot when that came on the radio n sitting there until they stopped replaying it, it was like watching Tyson get knocked out. Jay was basically untouchable until "ETHER"

“Ether was a good record, don’t get me wrong, but it’s angry as f**k. He sounded so emotional, and it’s elementary bulls*t,” expressed Charlamagne during his Brilliant Idiots podcast with Andrew Schulz. “It’s the oldest jokes you use on somebody – being ? , having AIDS. It’s just corny to me. Jay Z’s ‘Takeover’ was actually facts.”



DAMN now that's that REAL ? that these NASTIALITES just can't deal with
