It's songs like Fetus that separate Nas from everybody else

Kanye also did “Poppa Was A Playa”.
Only other version I think comes close to Fetus with this concept is Ice Cube’s The Product.
Canibus' "I honor u" was very dope. I knew people that didn't even listen to Canbus that enjoyed that.

Yep. Cube did it 90, Monche did it in 97, Canibus did it in 98 and Nas did it in 99. But for some reason, Nas is credited for creating the concept
I think Rakim planet the seed (no pun intended) for that concept. On the beginning of the 2nd verse of In The Ghetto

1:35 mark


Song came out in Jan 1990

Cube came out in dec 1990
