This likely has its roots in the gambling slang “whale”, in addition to the 1993 film Free Willy (which is, of course, about an orca whale).

The STD test metaphor is for the anticipation that built up when Nas took a significant amount of time to reply to Jay-Z “Takeover”. “Ether” was released to radio stations across the country on Jay-Z’s birthday. Not positive -and its all bad.
