It was getting play at Carnival weekend in a few spots I went down in London. But the UK hip-hop spots have always been partial to Nas and east coast acts.

That's definetly to type of track I see ringing off in London, New York and Toronto clubs where there's a lot love for dancehall meets boom bap hip-hop.

Dont know about the midwest, south and other places tho.

i admit that originally i did not like this song... i thought it was strange/wack... but it's grown on me... i still bump it from time to time.. doubt it gets any love in the club tho'... NaS just isn't a commercial cat...

Depends on the clubs you hit too.

Your run of the mill every weekend club isnt gonna play him. In the states they're gonna flood the set with usual Khaled/Hit Boy/Ross/Wayne stuff (In the case of the UK, its them clubs that insist on playing US tracks from 10 years back cause they cant really fukk with the south, but will sprinkle Wayne, Nicki and them anyway)

But you get those Hip-Hop nights at clubs and bars that super deep with it and play old school and underground. Its not uncommon to hear a Made You Look, Hate me Now, Nas is Like etc.

I'm still trying to figure out why I heard You Owe Me three times at the Carnival afterpary up in Westbourne last month (although that was a nice mix of old and new hip-hop that night)

Nowadays theres enough spots to find an array of hip-hop music anywhere in the world

I still hear Mobb Deep at spots, Tribe too. All depends on who's DJing

People miss me with that "They dont play _____ at clubs" shyt. When they say that, I feel like they go to spots where the hoes are fine but the Ed Hardy brigade is deep and there's at least 3 DJs on their David Guetta shyt.:lolbron:

But the hoes are fine tho :jawalrus:

808s is mainly an American thing. Nas can't get play in the clubs in the 808s era where you have to have catchy hooks and adlibs to get play in the club. Overseas really fukk with mellow music and boom bap cause that is their pace.

True, but I figured a record like that with the ill looped sample would get play and have a enough know to stand aside every hit boy and lex luger track in the club.

Then again it does have a sample saying "inna New York City, inna New York city" and we know how some regional cats feel about that lol
