What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper
Like Greeks in Egypt learning something deep from they teachers

it's essentially a heavenly song. I think I've said this before, but when this song dropped, it felt like the clouds opened up and Nas was ascending. Even the shyt he's spitting "went from Seiko to Rolex".... "Feeling of a millionaire spending a 100 grand".... mixed with that scroll talk "planets in orbit" shyt... I was cool with Nas but when "Nas is Like" came out, I became a fan.

I wanna see receipts!
i have this as his top track, above 'One Love' and 'No Ideas Original'. It's the closest he came to a perfect track.

Closed out that 2nd verse on some Shakespearean shyt
Can't take it with you under this earth
Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called, history's made
Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
Making choices that determine my future under the sky
To rob, steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
Much success to you, even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is

A record so great, even the famously crotchety @SirBiatch agrees with the Coli general consensus.

One of the greatest songs ever...
I'll be honest. I never really digged this song even when it first came out.
I appreciate your honesty but that is Blasphemy. My mind was blown the first time I heard it back then. Instant classic
Cac Rosenberg called this the greatest hip hop song he’s ever heard

I've had tough arguments with my guys over what song was the best in 99.... this or P on Quiet Storm. Depends on what I hear last...

A Baby's being born the same time
A man is murdered the beginning and end
One of the dopest openings of all time.

I remember Preemo said he almost threw away the record. It was a pink record with a fish on it.
If you hear the actual record and how
premo caught the small snippet to sample man that shyt was pure GENIUS
