Well you got to be reasonable here, Nas indeed did win the battle. Ether isn't just about faggot crap, its also about Jay-Z as a fake rapper who bites lyrics from Biggie Smalls and got slammed on his own track by Eminem. Nas is not only a better rapper, he is smarter, he knows what to say. When you look at Jay-Z, he seems to run out of things to say in Takeover and Supa-ugly(which sucked). The only thing that was good about what Jay-Z said about Nas is the idea that Nas has not made a good album since Illmatic. However, that's not true! Jay-Z might have more popularity, but he's just a commercial rapper. He's too dumb and ignorant to talk about the real things Nas says. Compare Takeover to Ether, it seems to be more whack and childish, while Ether is that real lyrical shit! Jay-Z said that he got money that stacks bigger than Mobb Deep; Everybody knows that they aint that tall! But Nas shows his lyrical ability when he says I rock h@##*, yall rock "fellas," get it Rocafella! 
 Besides, half of Jay-Z's blueprint album was produced by Kanye West, so you can't just knock Nas. When you listen carefully to Ether you can clearly see Nas's skill as a rapper, but on Takeover it sounds like bubblegum rap. Besides, Nas won the votes for a reason, and he still is the best lyricist. Forget all that Commercial bull@#%*&!
