That's exactly what I'm saying...he tried to recant the fact that it was a comeback AFTER it flopped---but the public doesn't believe that mess, we know it was SUPPOSED to be a comeback----because, like you said, they had advertised it and made a big deal about it as the "Super-Ugly-Jay Z-Comeback".
Now, WHATCHUGOTTASAYABOUTRAKIM?! Don't nobody better say nothing bad about Rakim. I know, I know----maybe one day he'll comeback (he's like 40 now, or something, though).

Actually that is untrue. Super Ugly was indeed the official comeback to Ether. It was marketed heavily as such by the Roc-A-Fella Camp. I am Boston, not even in NYC and I heard the buzz. The call-ins from the ROC camp, etc. all promising big things with SuperUgly. But, after, SuperUgly unexpectedly SUCKED big time, Jay recanted his "official" answer and instead now refers to it as a studio freestyle. Maybe only the NE got the full blast of the Roc-A-Fella push, but it was indeed marketed as the Ether comeback that was gonna crush Nas for good.
Also, I could go back to how Nas served Jay royally on Ether, but most people missed it cuz they weren't the no-brainer, one-liners that Jay throws. Nas put History and "bidness" out there, but dang, peeps keep missing it. Dang Nasir, why are so brilliant???
Oh yeah, I'm a big Nas fan 
Rakim.....hmmm, there's this guy at the car wash...
