wow @ myself for guessing the rating....
not gonna rate takeover after all cause its not all directed at nas....
remember, the 6/10 was only a rating as a diss, as songs both ether and takeover get 9/10s....
and jay won this beef cause the few punches against nas in takeover hit harder than all of ether cause they were TRUE....stuff about illmatic bein his only good album (lol, he dropped 4 dope albums in a row after that)
overall, i'd say they're even as rappers, but jay-z's smarter, and he prolly got as much money in sales off one of his albums as nas has made off all of his...
still, not really comparable, jay is a people's rapper, nas is a rapper's rapper
