https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ePQKD9iBfU Often cited as the greatest diss track in the history of rap - usually part of a two-horse race with Tupac's 'Hit 'Em Up' - Ether utterly tears Jay Z to shreds on various levels. Nas criticises his underwhelming musical beginnings, questions his sexuality, and (most importantly) refers to the way a young Hova used to idolise his own music growing up. From the opening boast of "You love my style" to the tightly woven wordplay of the chorus, Nas proves that Jay Z's perceived mimicry is notified and in vain. Key Lyrics: "I am the truest, name a rapper I ain't influenced / Gave y'all chapters but now I keep my eyes on the Judas"
