In a heated discussion with DJ Vlad, Touré weighs in on the infamous rivalry between Nas and Jay-Z, specifically addressing the iconic diss tracks that emerged: Nas' "Ether" and Jay-Z's "Super Ugly." Touré highlights the initial hype surrounding "Ether," acknowledging its powerful impact, although he critiques its lyrics as largely homophobic. He argues that Nas primarily attacked Jay-Z by implying his homosexuality, which now comes across as prejudiced. Vlad and Touré discuss the cultural impact of both tracks, agreeing that "Ether" left a lasting legacy and even became a verb representing a crushing insult. However, Touré insists that the song underscored untruths. In contrast, Jay-Z's "Super Ugly," created overnight in response to "Ether," lacked the same cultural blast but was impactful for its personal digs and raw emotion.
