“[Jay] lost [to] ‘Ether’ and their ain’t no ‘L’ on his record. There ain’t no ‘L’ on his record because the things he’s done following that cleaned it off,” said the G-Unit boss. “He brought Nas under him to Def Jam. I think that kinda erased it, because at that point he signed him… He won.”

The Jay/Nas feud became public in 2001 when the two rap giants released their blatant respective diss tracks “Stillmatic Freestyle,” “Takeover,” “Ether,” and “Super Ugly.” Hov and Esco officially settled their differences in 2006. Then Def Jam president Jay Z signed Nas to the iconic label that year.
