Both Classic

The essence, although I got my name from the Flyest. There is a blended version of the Flyest that I prefer. I don’t remember who did the best. It was either cookin soul or 9th wonder. That shyt was fire. Can’t find it on YouTube right now but it was the main version i listened to. The lyrics were edited though. I’m hoping someone knows what I’m talking about .

The flyest because of the last verse and beat.

That Mary Jane Girls sample is heavenly

The Essence, easily. The Flyest had a slightly off hook, and Nas verse had some odd moments. The Essence man, that is just timeless, effortlessly smooth, soulful music. I have good memories of that track in summer 2002 as a teenager.

The Essence got this. Better beat, better chemistry, better chorus, better shyt talking, better verses....Everything about that joint is classic.

The Flyest is a dope track, but its prolly my least favorite Nas and AZ joint.

It's close but for me it's The Flyest. That beat just does it for me.

This shyt here though

I picked the Essence, but man the nostalgia i get from listening to the flyest. You really can't go wrong with either. Just a special moment in time and being a teen at that age is priceless
