I dunno how you can listen to that clip and not come to the conclusion that Ether hadn't, at the very least, humbled Jay. Unless he always talks like that but, well, he doesn't.
The way he spoke on that particular radio interview and the way he speaks in other interviews aren't terribly different from each other.
All I'm saying is, I can't readily say that he was hurt emotionally or nearly in tears by the track based off of that 20 second audio clip of him speaking about it. I guess that you could argue that maybe he was, but maybe he wasn't. And what if it was the same way for Nas? There's no clip of a radio interview up for Nas for after he heard Takeover.
Besides, when I originally said Takeover >> Ether, I was referring to track vs track anyway. I already said Ether had a larger impact, and Nas may have even won overall since Supa Ugly was pretty weak, but Takeover was just better than Ether to me. His one verse was better than Nas' whole song.
