It was overrated. Not a bad track, but definately overrated.
Takeover was more than just a diss track, it was about power, dominance, reigning supreme, shit was a Rocafella battle cry. A overall potent ass track imo. Jay directed one verse at Nas and sonned the shit out of him like he was a lil nigga before he spit it, Nas went and made a whole song.
Ether was aight. Initially, THE HOOK was only thing that was dope. The first two verses were weak as fuck, and I mean weak weak. Them first two verses were weak ass flailing pussy ass punches that didn't connect at all. He picked up steam by his third verse and delivered some potent blows, but that wack shit he spit beforehand taints the whole song imo.
I feel like mofos gave Nas the win because they felt sorry for him, because of the dope drops he made early in his career and because niggas just didn't wanna respect the wave/flow Rocafella had at the time.
Oh and that Blueprint 2 track was dope as fuck, just listened to it again, Jay slaughtered that nigga on that track.
