Favorite track off Nas'- Illmatic (Poll & Discussion)

[Thugnificent]

Cant choose between memory lane, one love and the world is yours

 

[Monoblock]

Memory Lane...That second verse still leaves me numb to this day.

 

[Deucage]

Surprised at all the most voted tracks on these threads so far. I expected the usual N.Y State of Mind but it shows that people have preferences. No matter, every track is classic.

Memory Lane is the greatest Hip Hop song ever, so.......

This

 

[Sound (∀√a) Maths]

"One for the money
Two for p*ssy and foreign cars
Three for Alizé, nikkas deceased or behind bars
I rap divine, God, check the prognosis: is it real or showbiz?"



Those vocals in the sample
The flow, lyrics and delivery
The vibe of the whole tune is soooo HIP-HOP!!!

 

[FreedMind]

Pete Rock on the chorus of The World Is Yours vs. "True in the game as long as blood is blue in my veins, I pour a Heineken brew, for my deceased crew in memory lane"



My two favorites right there.

"I pour a Heineken brew for my deceased crew in Memory Lane". Favorite Nas song ever

My favorite Nas track also. That second verse is perfection manifested hell the whole song. The visuals are still mindblowing almost 23 years later.
