"one hot album in a 10 year average" is complete nonsense
Not 100% accurate, some people might not like that lol -
"one hot album in a 10 year average" is complete nonsense

That's kind of the point of a rap battle ace.
Jay-Z did the same ? .
Also Jay spit way more subjective ? than facts in Takeover. Just because you agreed with some of his opinions it doesn't make them fact.
I like Takeover more than Ether but people have to keep it one hunnid.
the bolded is gospal
Gospal huh? #THIW -
"I know you ain't talking about me dog. You???" is my permanent mood

Yep.
Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, ? ’s Son, Lost Tapes...
Nothing close to a 10 year stretch without a “hot album” -

You could instantly feel the momentum in hip hop shift underneath your feet! It felt like Sting coming back in 1997 and winning the belt. Roc was the NWO and Jay Z was Hollywood Hogan. Them ? were kicking ass in style everywhere and dominating in 2000-2001. Jay Z was really not losing at this time. Ruff Ryders, Lox, Prodigy, Jayo, Bravehearts, Ja Rule all tried to slow down the machine but couldnt stop the roc completely. The diamond signs, the dame dances, the bragging about money was taunting to the hip hop crowd. The day when the roc took over hot 97 was like doomsday. Rap got ambushed bad that day. I aint gonna lie. I was worried about Prodigy and Nas because Jay Z did not take his foot of they neck. Jay Z really felt like a rap dictator that day SP and ROC clapped up everybody. Yes Jada and Lox was fighting back but Beans was the muscle that kept ROC from getting KO'd. Nas was really the last hope
Ether dropped. Just like Harlem2thumbs said when you heard that gunfire and pac say "? JAY Z" your attention was automatically drawn in. Nobody knew where Nas was going to attack from. Nobody. Ether caught the world off guard. I maybe told this story millions of times but ? it. we were piled up deep in the University of Texas student library listening to this ? on a monday morning. Everybody jaw dropped to the floor after each line and verse. I distinctly remember multiple ? saying oooh ? and jumping out of they seat pumpin they fist when Nas started the "ROC get gunned up and clapped quick" line ? played ether over and over waking ? up out they dorm to come to the library and listen. The rap blogs and websites were on fire. I had an english paper i was supposed to type that morning. I did not even go to class i stayed in library all day listening to ether Yahoo Messaging with my ? from the Stillmatic board talking about the beef. Jay Z fans looked SICK and let down I honestly think this where some of them went from casual fans into Jigga Warriors because they had a whole lot of crow and ? to eat after ether. One of our dormmates played ball for UT and was a huge Jay Z fan. Even met him months prior at the Blueprint 1 tour. Used to always make fun of anyone that was a Mobb Deep or Nas fan. Big homie looked crushed in the library listening to ether. Skipped practice and went to go lay back down at the dorm. He did not want to talk about Ether at all and never did -
Three of them ? came out after Takeover -

My point is Nas has never had a “one hot album every 10 year average”, and definitely not before Takeover.

Told the story a couple times....We had a Madden tournament going on going on $20 a head about 15 people, 4 tvs going....My cousin comes in the crib breathing like he ran up 4 flights of stairs...Sun like yo turn on Hot 97 they playing some ? Nas did dissing Jay-Z...The room got quiet and everybody listening in...I saw faces and the Jigga stans were looking hurt....After the song, Angie is talking like she's hurt...My reaction was like damn, I wasnt expecting anything like this....Coming from thinking Nas wasnt going to respond after the Stillmatic freestyle, But sun dropped to the one hitter quitter....
Cam shouldve learned from this beef trying to respond so fast is risky....see what happened with Supa Ugly..... -

Even funnier is that an extremist sect broke out from the Jigga Warriors ranks and became Jay-hova Witnesses on some "this ain't even our final form" ? ....scust! -
Idk if Nas still does this but at his shows even like 5 years ago he used to play the opening gunshots to Ether but then go into another song. Never fails to get the crowd hype.
