It Was Written turns 20 today

Are you from Newark? No Muddy Waters?

I was curious about that too. I remember bumping Muddy Waters hard when it came out during the summer. But I checked and it was released December 96. I could of sworn it was released right before the summer.

There really ain't a 20th anniversary rerelease is there?

At least let me hear Pete Rock's "Street Dreams" remix in high quality dammit!!!

I think we need to seriously start to consider that the verses in Suspect are belong to some of the top 20 verses in Hip Hop History. They are devastatingly good.

 

[H.S.]

"Suspect" is one of those songs I like more and more with each passing year. In 96 it probably wasn't too five on the album for me, but now it's one of my favorite Nas songs period.

Illmatic is 1a

It Was Written is 1b

It's only right
Nas escobize
Leave ya shyt mesmerized
Mega live like the 3rd world
Decipher my deceiver
Make em a believer
Spitting gem star
Words in my mic type receiver
Bond is my life
And I live by my word
Never fraudulent
Queensbridge don't make no herbs
Spread my name to deacons
Politictians while they speaking
Rebel to America civilization caught you sleeping

BLOAW!!!!

The first verse is vivid as hell.
