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

[Budda]

Should be and it’s 100% best song on Illmatic

 

[Sean7]

Great song, not his best nor the best on that same album though.

 

[BaRRyG]

Top 3 Nas song

shyt was so smooth

He was floating

 

[mundL]

Always loved that Song

Its beautiful

 

[Monoblock]

Of course it is. Last verse is the best written verse ever in hip-hop.

 

[NoHalfWay]

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.

Agreed. Will forever be my favorite hip hop song ever

I thought I was the only one who had that opinion. shyt is literally the perfect song

 

[HNIC973]

It's been my favorite Nas song for 30 years but GOAT hh song I disagree

 

[HollywoodP]

I dont think it's a general consensus. But it's my favorite Nas song for certain. Easily one of the greatest songs ever.

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

This takes me back so far that it hurts to hear, and I didn't even listen to this one much.. my favorite track on the album was Life's a bytch


Pretty clear what Pac's influence was when he made "Old School"


However if we were doing a song for song versus kind of thing and you play "Memory Lane" I got something for you that would compete head to head with that

 

[Erratic415]

I don’t know, but it’s a classic and my favorite Nas song

 

[hitmonlee]

I dont think anyone has ever disagreed

its incredible and i never get tired of listening to it

i like it was written better, but memory lane is my favorite rap song of all time

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

100%

 

[Mowgli]

Skipped

 

[DontEemTry]

Of course it is. Last verse is the best written verse ever in hip-hop.

My vote goes to either Common or Mos Def on "Respiration"

NY State of Mind is.

NY state of mind is the best intro of the technical renaissance.
While arguably being rhe goat intro record of all time.

It is not the actual best record of the technical renaissance.
Nor is it the goat rap song.


The arguable goat rap song culturally is :
