Is It a General Consensus That Nas' Memory Lane is the Greatest Hip Hop Song of All Time?

[88m3]

Illmatic still blows my mind... was on a long drive yesterday and a few of the songs came on and I hadn't heard them in a longtime... just beautiful really



Lost Tapes is also still

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

Not even the best song on the album breh

 

[darkmanp]

Illmatic is definitely my undisputed GOAT hip-hop album. Memory Lane is one of my favorites on the album, but I gotta go with One Love, ( with having a brother locked up when I was younger and writing him). Haven't seen it yet, but also gotta so love for The World Is Yours, Represent, and It Ain't Hard to Tell.

 

[Metal Face]

how is it general consensus when people bring up NY State of Mind way more

 

[ThirdAct]

Top 3 Nas song for me but there's a lot of competition for GOAT rap songs

 

[Art Barr]

It is the best record on illmatic.
Being that nas ushered in the technical renaissance.
You could say.
One love by nas was one of rhe goat records.
of that change in that sonic landscape.

Plus moving forward in the changing of the sonic landscape.
in the comolete direction of degradation.
after the technical renaissance.
It holds a place many will not rival after that change in sonic landscape.
Where moving forward to come close to this type of submission. Will have to generally be influenced.
by this submission.

[That Singer Guy...]

Dejavu is actually my GOAT Nas song and what i consider the greatest hiphop song of all time.

That song is as perfect of any song ive ever heard in this genre, all 3 verses are 10/10.

[TrapHouse Rock]

The Tragedy influence is so heavy on illmatic I wouldn't be shocked if he wrote Memory Lane listening to Trag

 

[erker]

NY State of Mind is.

 

[DontEemTry]

Best song in all of hip-hop in my opinion is T.R.O.Y

 

[Buck Seventy]

I love Memory Lane but no it isn't.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Glad we all agree

 

[seemorecizzy]

yes

 

[Surreal]

Best track on Illmatic but the best rap song ever is Electric Relaxation
