Etymology 2
From “Ether” (2001), a song by the American hip hop recording artist (born 1973). According to Nas, the song, a diss track aimed at fellow artist (born 1969), was thus named because he was once told that ghosts and spirits do not like the fumes from ether (noun, sense 5), and he viewed the song as affecting Jay-Z in a similar way. The song contains the lines “I fuck with your soul like ether” and “That ether, that shit that make your soul burn slow”.
