Nas Ether 〈2025〉

Released on Stillmatic in 2001, Nas’s "Ether" is considered a defining diss track that directly challenged Jay-Z’s "Takeover" following a intense rivalry. The song, which features a notable "Fuck Jay-Z" sample from Tupac, successfully shifted the narrative of the feud and, despite including dated homophobic language, cemented itself as a landmark moment in hip-hop history.
