You do realize that Nas & Pac knew each other before IWW was released AND that Stretch was talking to Nas about Pac's shooting.
Also, he's talking about Jay's life in the song as well even though Jay's not from his hood and they didn't hang out like that.
Nas was clearly street dreaming on The Message..
*bumps Shootouts*
All these years later I still get chills from the verses
"Fat ass dissolvin, like cotton candy in a mouth that's starvin
Rock the same gear daily, like a soldier in my squadron
I heard she let Jake investigate from her window
cause she's a nympho, suckin dikk and coughin up info
So now it's set up, her and the beast to get wet up
I know he vest up, we blazin from the neck up"
"My man Killa let off, half of them fake nikkaz jet off
Police blitz quick, waitin for that to set off
Runnin the static, it got me mad cause they a bunch of fakkits
Startin shyt in my hood, I can't have it
Yo High, get the 40-cali stainless, Jake is still out
Let's make it real and still make them nikkaz famous
Dip behind trees in fatigues and squeeze, dodge and weave
Hearin Jake retaliatin, and Wiz was up the alley waitin
We breeze, jump in the ride, heard Pierre died
Internal bleedin inside, and ain't been back since ninety-five"
Chills my nikka. shyt is like a movie playing...
You know what? fukk that man, I'm just dropping shootouts in here cause the song is so fukking ill. The intro to the track with the horns? Man I remember when this album just dropped I couldn't get past that part. How many times have I listened to this? A 1000 times? 9000? I don't even know.

Niiiiiice!!
at Nas supposedly being on the Miseducation album.In IWW booklet, Foxy's Affirmative Action verse have Nas name written above it.the only thing i raised an eyebrow at in that article is the part where they said jay ghosted foxy's commercial joints but she wrote all her verses for the firm collabos..that doesnt add up...foxy was spitting high caliber shyt...i dont believe for a sec az, nas, or nature didnt write them for her
Who knew Nas stuttered the beginning of I Gave You Power. I always felt that was mistake when he said "I'm a gun...because I'm a gun."
Remember sitting in junior high homeroom, and reciting I Gave You Power, Street Dreams, and If I Ruled The World.

fif was right, he called it. he said nas was throwing a shot @ jay wit the lex line. never realized that
