Chart of the Day: That Ether....

JC Parets
June 8, 2022

I lived on 55th Street on the East side of Manhattan for a while.

To get some exercise I would often run along the East River and many times I'd run across the 59th Street Bridge over to Queens Blvd, and back.

It wasn't a long run, but it got me going and would get me away from my screens for a bit.

Exercise was part of my "support" system during some of those rougher years.

On the way out to Queens you go over Roosevelt Island (which is a really weird place btw). And then you have Queensbridge over to your left directly north of the 59th St. Bridge.

For those unfamiliar, Queensbridge is the largest housing project in North America.

It's where Nas is from, arguably the greatest rapper of all time. I personally don't make that argument, but I can see how you could (he's in my top 5).

There's a famous diss track that Nas titled "Ether".

To this day that word is synonymous with ruthlessness and dominating opponents.

Many many years later, here we are....

Looking at a chart of Ether.

I can't help but think back to those hot, sweaty, summer runs in New York City listening to Nas Albums from the 90s wondering where my life was headed...

Fortunately I found the support I needed.

But will Ether find that same support when it needs it the most?

It's now or never!

Last summer's lows are the final line of defense.

Will Support come in for Ether?

Will it prove its ruthlessness? Will Ether dominate like Nas has done over the decades since?

I'm in. I'm a believer. If we're above last Summer's lows I'm long.

It's that simple.

The line has been drawn.

Do you agree?

Are you long Ether?

Do you think Nas is top 5 all time?

Weigh in. Let's hear it!
