Great question! To answer it, i'll need to provide some context. Nas' first album, Illmatic (1994), was a CLASSIC. It was considered by many to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. By 1999, his influence and fame were waning, and the 1999 album Nastradamus was considered absolute garbage. In contrast, Jay-Z was HOT. Every album was hot and critically acclaimed. So when Jay-Z dissed Nas at the Summer Jam (one line: "ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov"), and Nas responded with the Stillmatic freestyle, Jay-Z responded with Takeover, which was absolutely brilliantly crafted. It was the shot heard around the world, at the time one of the greatest disses ever imagined. It was universally acclaimed as the END of Nas, who was already seemingly at the end of his career (because his most recent release was two years ago and it was Nastradamus. Meanwhile, Jay-Z had just dropped Blueprint, the album he is most known for.).Everyone knew Nas was going to respond, but no one expected Ether from Nas because he hadn't been hot since maybe 1996,1997. So, to finally answer your question:Ether is considered the greatest diss track because it was the ultimate "come from behind" victory. A formerly great rapper, brilliantly dissed by the top rapper in the game, responded with the unexpected knockout blow that no one believed he was even capable of. It saved his career and hip-hop heads everywhere rejoiced that the Nas they had been missing since Illmatic was still here.Source: Nas is my favorite rapper. I own every album he ever made, including Nastradamus, and I know every lyric from every song, except for every song on Nastradamus (Well, I know "You owe me" w/ Ginuwine, because that was all over the radio and BET).
The northern sentinel island has a long history of loneliness. When British colonised India and built cellular jail in Andaman and Nicobar islands one of the prisoners escaped and swam to a nearby island and was found dead with his body parts being smeared.After this incident the British came to know that the island was inhabited.They wanted to make contact with the people out their but each time they tried to enter ,the people sent them back with their flying arrows.One day they somehow were able to capture an old couple along with two children's.But as soon as they brought them to the shore, the elders died and the children begin to grow sick and started to vomit.A doctor was called upon to examine them and he found out that the immunities of these people is similar to what humans had before 65,000 years,so for them the air we breathe might itself be poisonous. The Britishers got frightened and left the children's back to the island and never made contact.After independence the Indian government wanted to make contact with these sentinel people but they still responded the same way by shooting arrows and trying to kill the outsiders.These people live a hunter gatherer life and can't produce fire(not confirmed).They don't wear any clothes.Also they want to be left alone.
