Nas Ether Jay Z Diss Mp3 Download
Keena Wiegert
"Ether" is a diss song by American rapper Nas, from his 2001 album Stillmatic. The song was a response to Jay-Z's "Takeover", released earlier that year. "Ether" has been called a "classic" diss track[1] and the "wildest" in hip hop history by music publications.[2]
Nas has described the song title as a reference to a superstition about ghosts disliking the fumes from ether, explaining that he desired "to affect [Jay-Z] with my weapon and get to his soul" in a similar fashion.[citation needed]
Ether has also been referenced and sampled by rappers who have sought to stylize their own diss recordings along similar lines of severity, including Game, Joe Budden, Saigon, Shyne, and Joey Bada$$ among others. Eminem took the sample of "Ether" and used it in Xzibit's song "My Name", featuring Nate Dogg, which was a diss song to Jermaine Dupri. Jin used the instrumental of the song to diss Rosie O'Donnell[citation needed]. In 2012, Cassidy, alluded to the song in his threat against Meek Mill, "If I do a diss record, it's going to be on the 'Ether' level if not worse." Cassidy went on to record a song against Mill titled R.A.I.D. which samples and quotes segments of Ether.
On September 11, 2001, Jay-Z released his sixth studio album The Blueprint, which included the controversial "Takeover" that featured lyrics dissing Nas and the late Prodigy.
In a recently-published oral history on The Blueprint via DefJam, then-Roc-A-Fella Records A&R Lenny S. talked about the time both diss tracks were out and how Jay took his loss to Nas in stride.
On Nas' new album, "King's Disease III," he revisits their bitter diss tracks via the song "Thun" where he raps ... "No beef or rivals, they playing 'Ether' on TIDAL / Brothers can do anything when they decide to / In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from 'Takeover' / Sometimes I text Hova like, 'N****, this ain't over ... laughing!"
Throughout the years, the 2 would go on to trade more disses on tracks such as "Supa Ugly" and "Last Real N**** Alive" ... but they've long deaded their issues, and even appeared together on DJ Khaled's 2021 cut "Sorry Not Sorry."
The word ether conjures a number of images. It can refer to the upper regions of space. It was once used as the name of a common surgical anesthetic. And it can refer to radio airwaves, as when a signal comes over the ether.
"Ether" is the title of a 2001 song by the hip-hop artist Nas, written as a response to another song, Jay-Z's "Takeover," which lobbed insults at Nas and fellow rapper Prodigy for what Jay considered their mediocre careers. Both "Ether" and "Takeover" are categorized as diss tracks, or songs meant to slam other artists.
The song, which finished second in a 2017 Rolling Stone Readers' Poll of the best diss tracks of all time, was received with great acclaim and is credited with revitalizing Nas's career. Shortly after its release, ether began to see use as a verb along the ranks of own, savage, and throw shade, all of which refer to the act of leveling criticism to another in a public way that is intended to humiliate; ether adds to that meaning the effect of leaving the target of such criticism at a loss for response. And now it's out there, in the air, for Jay-Z and everyone else to breathe in.
If you had asked me which of the disses I liked better, I'd say "Ether" but overtime I started to look at this song as less of a diss and something close to an obsession with Jay-Z. I hate to say it but "Takeover" was actually a better diss record. I didn't like "Superugly" at all but "Takeover" was great. I also love the "Five to One" sample it used. As far as diss records go, "No Vaseline" is number-one to me. Everything else pales, including "Hit 'Em Up".
I dont think Ether is the best diss record ever invented but it definitly was lyrically superior than anything Jay threw at him and clearly shows Nas is lyrically more equipped than Jay who solely relies on surface punch lines while Nas as usual digs deeper and makes you think.
Some people say that Ether shows Nas obession with Jay and I dont see that. Its exactly the opposite. Jay came for him first. The point of a diss record is to diss them with factual information or using clever lines to throw stabs. Ether is a very mature, lyrically complex MC diss record.
Even though there wasn't a diss song released, I actually think Kool Moe Dee's diss to Busy Bee was actually the BEST one (especially when Busy couldn't come up with a retaliation and just said "fuck it").
The BIG/Pac thing? I don't know what to really say about that one because it seemed they let the fists and guns do more talking than rhyming. I like "Hit 'Em Up" and all but that period was nonsense considering what happened after that. People considered BIG's "Long Kiss Goodnight" as a Pac diss but that was released after their deaths so Puff probably decided not to exclude it, which says a lot about his character (hell Suge did the same with Dr. Dre though Dre's still alive as well as Snoop).
I liked 50 Cent's disses towards Murder Inc. Ja thought he could diss like 2Pac and ended up getting spanked by Eminem and Busta Rhymes (of all people). But that one almost mirrored BIG and Pac where there were actual blows. Luckily both of them are still alive (and both fell off).
A significant (P < 0.05) positive relationship existed between USDA carcass grade and taste-panel tenderness scores of 6-7-8th rib roasts. Grade, marbling and percent ether extract of longissimus dorsi muscle were each significantly (P < 0.05) related to juiciness scores of 6-7-8th rib roasts and club steaks. These relationships were not generally high and were somewhat inconsistent. Overall grade marbling or percent ether extract of l. dorsi muscle had almost the same influence on the east quality of beef. Eating quality was not significantly (P < 0.05) affected by fat thickness. For the 9-10-11th rib roasts from both sexes, percent separable fat was influenced more by fat thickness than by grade.
Percent protein content of cooked rib roasts had a significant positive influence on shear values obtained on roasts from heifers and a significant negative effect on juiciness scores of roasts from both sexes. Flavor was significantly related to percent protein content of cooked roasts from heifers. Juiciness and tenderness scores were significantly (P < 0.05) increased as percent ether extract of cooked roasts from heifers increased. Percent protein content of cooked steaks from both sexes had a significant positive effect on shear value of club steaks and a significant negative effect on juiciness. For steaks from steers tenderness and flavor scores were significantly affected in a positive and curvilinear manner by percent protein content of cooked steaks.

In frogs with severed vagosympathetic trunks narcotic sleep during ether vapor inhalation set in earlier, while the excitation phase was earlier and shorter than in frogs with intact lungs. At the same time, the duration of sleep was equal in both, whereas ether expenditure was much larger in the latter.
Lithium-Oxygen batteries have an energy density ten times greater than that of LIBs. However, lithium-oxygen batteries have rechargability problems associated with them. The most common electrolyte used in this type of batteries is LiPF6 in carbonate or ether based solvents. LiPF6 inherently decreases electrolyte stability, since LiPF6 can undergo thermal dissociation into PF5 and LiF. PF5 being a strong Lewis acid, can react with electron rich species. The thermal decomposition reactions of LiPF6 based electrolytes are studied in detail with regard to LIBs. The comprehensive study has been conducted on the thermal degradation of several electrolyte systems in the presence of Li2O2.
This work deals with the synthesis of defined polymers with polyethylene oxide backbone. The basic monomer is glycidol and its protected derivatives. Protected glycidols such as allyl glycidyl ether, tert.butyl glycidyl ether and especially ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether give linear polymers which can me modified chemically in a second step. The first area of research with this kind of polymers was dying of keratine fibres and cotton with pigments. In industry, dye molecules are incorporated into a fibre, while the coloring is established by permanent linking of these. If covered to a surface, the dye may be rinsed too easily; to avoid this problem, a statistical copolymer made of allyl glycidyl ether and ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether is taken and modified to a cationic polymer by appropriate methods; the final polymer works as an adhesive between pigment and fibre. The general adhesion to human hair, wool and cotton is investigated, results show that adhesion decreases in the order cotton - wool - hair. The second area of research deals with synthesis and chemophycial behaviour of block copolymers. The used blockcopolymers are synthesized of ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether and phenyl glycidyl ether, with total chain lengths in a range of 10 to 20 repeat units. Short blockcopolymers are easy to dissolve and may be used as surfactants for stabilizing of emulsions. The solubility was increased by modification of free alcohol groups to carboxymethyl groups. Stabilization of carbon black in aqueous medium was shown on semi-industrial scale. Witzh longer blocks and increased concentrations, more and more interactions occur, and self-assembly is expected. This is used in the third area of research, to obtain a defined structure on surfaces. Therefor, block copolymers of ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether and aliphatic epoxides are synthesized (with subsequent hydrolysis). The aliphatic side chains constist of 10, 12, 14 and 16 carbon atoms. Thsi gives a sufficient difference in polarity of the blocks, and the longer side chains are able to crystallize. The found structures in this work are cylinders, which are orientated parallel to the substrate surface (silicium wafers). In the last area, it is investigated if an incorporation of aldehyd groups to a linear polyglycidol is possible. The aim is the linkage of polypeptides to polymers. With the used copolymers (block and random) made of allyl glycidol ether and ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether or tert.butyl glycidyl ether it was tried if as many aldehyd groups as possibel may be generated, to end up with high degree of crosslinking even at low conversions. Synthetically, allyl groups of the polymers were treated with ozon to obtain aldehyde groups, as well as etherification of free OH groups of polyglycidol wit 2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane to yield a protected aldehyde group. It was found, that both reations are not very successful.
