Nah. Nas said it himself:

 

In an interview, Nas said he titled the song ''Ether'' because he wanted his words to burn his rival's spirit. ''I was told a long time ago, ghosts and spirits don't like the fumes from ether, and I just wanted to affect him with my weapon and get to his soul,'' Nas said.

He's not talking aether. He's talking ether.

Nas says its "ether." He is using the word diferent from the other use which is "aether."

 

The latter is the metaphysical sort of definition, the former is chemical.

 

Edit:

 

I want to submit to you that there is no-thing really that exists.

 

The reason science or any type or observation, and the reason why no definitions are ever anaylitically accurate or without the above problem; the reason why we can only ever know what things do (how they behave) and never what they are, is because nothing really exists.

 

Rather things are in process, that is they are becoming but never being. Literally there is nothing that exists if by existence you mean a "thing" or things or substance of some kind that endures through time.

 

Edit: the sub-text of this video I think encapsulates my viewpoint.
