It's amazing that damn near everyone on here has a different favorite track. That's the epitome of a dope ass album. Only thing could top it off if is Nas wins the Grammy for best album (not rap album but overall best album). I'd be happy if he could just win best rap album fa real.

I GOT NO #1 BUT A COUPLE THAT STICK OUT INCLUDING.......

WHERE IS THA LOVE

Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
Maybe just a typical thug nikka was my rank
'Cept I had a vision above nikkas, what I think:boss:
It's crazy how many brothers come where I come from
Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung
Shots for soldiers on 23 hours lock-up
Younger generation, they want to mimic and mock us
Laughing, separating themselves like they not us, like
"Cops'll look at you like they look at me? That's preposterous"
Ain't it gangsta how your man made it? I'm humble
One gun, one crazy ass nikka, that's Jungle
Now we having babies, cause growing up it was just us
No uncles or cousins to fight with us, we was fukked up
But still it was beautiful, the love is mutual
Even though me and Jung ain't show up to your funeral
I hold your son hand, tell him he the man, we love you
Your pops was king, you have a whole lot to live up to
The G is in your genes, already you tuck
Inherit your dad's swag, it's George Jefferson's strut
Stay flyest, they gon' want to know what in your diet
Don't be surprised if they want to check your shyt and your vomit
Tell them you let it marinate, they swear you made them a promise
No matter what they do, you just stay a man of honor

Terrelle-Owens-Crying.gif


I'm a street corner nikka, New York Knicks loyalist
Corona sipper, pass it out, might blow it with you
It ain't the Truman show; it's the human show
Ask the F.B.I. agent at his cubicle
Chews on his pencil eraser with intents to erase you
Young brother go and get your paper, I got love

yeah im not countin bonus tracks either cause they all too ill.

the don has actually become one of favorite tracks. its funny but i like it better hearing it on the album than i did before, same with accident murderers. the album helps to add context to the songs and vice versa. it like every song helps paint the overall picture so i appreciate them more.

Back When. The whole vibe of that song is just timeless. The background vocals, the piano at the end, just :ahh:

Best verse:
You blame your own shortcomings on sex and race
The mafia, homosexuals and all the Jews
It's hogwash point of views, stereotypical
Anti-Semitic like the foul words Gibson spewed
And it's pathetic
I don't get the credit I deserve
That's why I hate doing interviews
But I don't sweat it, study long, study raw
My man Dion said Nas over-think the songs he writing
I'm not a wack performer standing near a corny hype man
I got the Donism in me
I'm here to enlighten

You love to hear the story :gladbron:
