Jay had a whole radio station riding with him in his favor dedicating a entire show to takeover, they even tried to rig the votes. It was a very skillful and wise choice on Nas's part to go with ron browz beat oppose to a hype beat by swizz cause it made his lyrics stand out more and hit even harder. He proved that if your in a battle and your pen game sharp enough you dont need a hot sample or catchy hook for fans to sing along to if you move strategically knowing how to use whatever your opponent throws at you against him that alone can put you on top and all those other fancy elements into constructing a battle record wont even cease to exist. Nas been able to stand the test of time cause he has always been keen in doing things his way since his debut the rest is history.
This right here is excellent! -

Word. I love both MC's & songs but ? act like Ether was just an entire song with nothing but him clowning like he wasnt saying ? about the stabbing, him getting chased down etc etc. -
First, emcees record tracks and go back and change the lyrics all the time. Some of you act like its impossible that Nas had a different version of Ether.
Second, when Big Daddy Kane dissed Rakim on "Set It Off", Rakim recorded a full diss track on Kane, but we didnt hear it cause after word got back to Kane how career ending the track was he called up Rakim and apologized before the track was released. The public never got to hear the track. But that doesnt mean that the track didnt exist either. -

Someone was talking about this, Rakim or BDK wouldn't discuss it but someone else did and I forgot who. -
Don't forget, Jaz-O gave Nas a lot of the personal info he used for ether ('chased in ya building')
So imo, Nas had so much dirt on Jay that it made the original song cluttered, and not a better or more etherous song. Sometimes less is more.
