BREAKDOWN OF ETHER..... written and comprehended by ~Warehouse
Nas - ether was way more then a diss on jay-z... it was nas taking his 
best shot at the illuminati.. the chorus yo  verse 1.. every line has 2 
to 3 percievable meanings.. dissing jay-z, talking to the people from 
the percepton of illuminati nas warning people.. for example. "i fuck 
with your soul like ether" perception #1 - just a shot at jay-z. 
perception #2 speaking as an illuminati member making his departure 
claiming a rapper from his point at the top due to illuminati promotion 
and warning people anybody like the former version of nas prior to 
stillmatic is part of illuminati and illuminati fucks with your soul 
like ether meaning itll be the death of everyone... perception #3 a shot
 at the illuminati directly claiming hes gonna cause the death of the 
illuminati.. i think perception #2 is the meaning nas direly hoped 
people would realize, knowing the public wouldnt catch that meaning for 
years to come.. i still dont think most people catch it. line #2.. WILL 
(double entendra for willpower at the end of for the first line, and 
beginning line 2 saying he will...) teach you the king you know you 
NOT.... perception #1 - telling jay-z he can think and claim himself the
 best but deep down he knows he isnt.. also percievable as a threat that
 once people realize the deep meaning of the song, jay-z will be 
paranoid about being exploited as the illuminati head man and exploiting
 that jay-z is paranoid-bound after this diss saying jay-z knows he isnt
 the peoples champ, hes the corrupt chosen one 4 illuminati and that 
jay-z will critically hope people dont realize the deeper of meanings of
 Ether...  perception #2 - talking to the people explaining his hope to 
teach everyone what makes someone "king" that it isnt skill, it selling 
your soul to the illuminati (which is at least a way to say jay-z giving
 the illuminati the right contractually to alter jay-z lyrics for their 
own interest in exchange for the highest position of power in hip hop 
through their corrupt promotion methods).... LINE 3 - (NOT) god's son 
across the belly LOSE.. perception #1 - just a shallow claim that nas 
himself is the best.. perception #2 - nas acknowledging he was 
illuminati and claiming his departure from illuminati but that he will 
always be marked by the fact he was in illuminati to skyrocket to the 
top.. and even foreseeing his next album God's Son will be a 
considerable failure due to illuminati backlashing against Nas.. (God's 
Son has two meanings, #1 - claiming illuminati had godlike power and he 
was born by them not knowing what he was getting himself into... #2 
meaning he is a man of God deep down (spiritual purity).... ok i know 
this is hard to follow lol but shit is real guys.. nas is an amazingly 
complex lyricist hence the reason the words between the lines of the 
chorus begin the next line in the chorus and ends the former line, which
 adds to the possibility of people percieving every meaning of the what 
the song is saying.. and its even a metaphor saying subconsciously to 
read between the lines (realize the truth)... ok now LINE 4 - (LOSE) i 
prove you lost already, perception #1 - shallow claim he already beat 
jay-z before the song even truely started, by being the legit deeper 
better lyricist.. perception #2 - if Nas acknowledging that if he loses 
the beef battle, then (hopefully) the already semi-enlightened people 
will question and expose the fact Nas lost despite having the better 
deeper overall diss, and that that will possibly expose Jay-z & the 
illuminati, so the illuminati was destined to promote Nas as the winner 
of the battle and beef. 
Oh yeah, by the way, lines 3 & 4 
god's son across the belly.. i prove you lost already... they fit 
together as well as seperately.... one of the deepest lines ive ever 
heard. its too deep for me to try and explain perfectly... but ill try 
my best real quick. i think the deepest meaning of it is that if one 
believes they are Jesus Christ himself, they are destined for one hell 
of an agonizing chapter of life. thats just a theory of mine though 
about that line. i dont think Nas believes he is Jesus Christ though lol
 dont get me wrong, he used that as an album title and tattoo 
metaphorically
mindblowing shit, now that we can look back over 
all these years people are able to understand the deeper subliminal 
messages, i know that for a fact the rate of people that are becoming 
enlightened to the truth is rising even if the media covers shit up.. 
for the sake of my hand starting to hurt after all this typing lol im 
gonna leave the rest of the lyrics up to you guys to try to figure out 
the alternative subliminal meanings.. almost every single line in verse 1
 has them.. and heres a hint for verse 1.. in verse 1 he is subliminally
 talking to us directly about the direness of the whole situation, not 
just talking to jay-z and other illuminati rappers exclusively. 
heres a couple more hints becuz i find these lines extra epic.... (brace
 yourself.. this the main event) he means get ready for a long ass tough
 struggle between truth and lies.. god and evil.. humanity vs 
illuminati... (yall impatiently waiting) saying he knows theres already 
semi-enlightened and fulllly enlightened people that know the deep 
truth...(like a aids test, whats the result..NOT POSITIVE) ok first of 
all, he saying we as a people are the patients of the hospital waiting 
on the results of something that could mean life or death (are lives and
 livelihood in life and hip hop in general as its pure orginal 
incarnation is at stake) he says NOT POSITIVE because at that time (and 
unfortunately it still seems this way to this day but people are 
awakening finally.. hurry up people foreal).. he was saying things dont 
look good.. but hes also saying dont be conclusive about nothing because
 it works against humanity's subconsciousness because of the illuminatis
 media skewing tactics of picking and choosing what to promote (like, 
DONT BE DEAD POSITIVE ABOUT ANYTHING SPECIALLY THE MEDIA BECAUSE THE 
ILLUMINATI SKEWS EVERYTHING TO THEIR OWN EVIL INTEREST)
aight.. 
have fun figuring out the rest of the song... and truely hearing Ether 
at its deepest for the very first time.. hopefully if u didnt know any 
of this prior to reading any of this now ur at least starting to awaken 
to reality. we are literally still "waiting for the results of the aids 
test" but the end is near.. now is do or die time, the illuminati is 
moving at light speed. sorry if i am wrong about any of the meanings to 
the lines, it was tough to figure out.
