Man, are you getting this revisionist history from Jay-Z?
Do you know why Nas was pissed at Hot 97? Because they were blatantly in Jay's camp rather than stay neutral, in 2001 they let Jay Z perform "Takeover" at their summer concert, but when Nas wanted to perform Ether the following year they snubbed him, that's like a stab in the back from a radio station he used to think was af riendly environment for him. That's when he went to the rival station and blasted them, and if I was him I would have done the same, you stab me in the back? I'll stab you right back by going to your rival.
You seriously are mixing up the facts of this feud. Jay started it all by dropping "Takeover" on the blueprint (not a freestyle at some concert) so in response to that Nas did what nobody expected him to do, he came out with Ether and murdered Jay-Z, sure Jay tried to counter with the weak "Super Ugly", which made him look like a bitch in many people's eyes because rather than attack Nas head on he decided to go after his woman.
Later on when Nas found out that the Summer concert had acctually just been miscommunication and not Hot 97 trying to screw him he did the right thing and apologized to them. That's what a man, not a bitch, does.
That's also why jay-Z is now viewed as garbage by alot of people in the industry, "you traded your soul for riches" was from Ether, it's how alot of people feel, Jay is an amazing rapper, but he doesn't want to be a rapper, he wants to be a buisness man, and that's why in the end Nas is still respected while Jay isn't.
