Nas made the word 'Ether' a verb. : to slaughter; to destroy; the act of humbling unequivocally; to trash; to demolish

[sphakamisozondi]

Jay attacked Nas at his lowest. If u were present at the time, Nas's career wasn't at a good place and fans thought Jay ended him. But your boy came back with heat 🔥

[LiveNLetRiv]

NAS said don't come for me less I send for you!!!😂😂😂

[smokegrittygaming]

And this is what happens when you fuck with the quiet guy in the corner minding his own business!!💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾 str8 bodied him

[kamalparker]

Ether humbled the fuck out of jay. He couldn’t even respond appropriately

[ceecc]

Nas the only one that was able to do it. Jay gotta admit it. Nas is Jay's Kryptonite.

Stillmatic is still one of my favorite records ever. Not one skippable song. Its a playthrough, and your head won't stop noddin.

All of Jayz nightmares start with the “Ether” intro

[scz]

"I. WILL. NOT. LOSE" bet Jay could hear that in his sleep after this joint came out.

The beat was militant AF and the rhymes bulldozed like a tank!!

[jonnybgood]

“No beef or rivals.. They playing either on Tidal” -Nas
