Legit and Truth two of my favourites from the series. would both be in a 10 track compilation from the 4 albums but i've got to give it to the The Truth. Lyrically that shyt just too good.

how's everyone rating each track on the album? not seen anyone's break down on here. I'd probably give it:

Ghetto Reporter- 5
Legit- 5
Thun- 5
Michael & Quincy- 5
30- 5
Hood2Hood- 5
Recession Proof- 5
Reminisce- 5
Serious Interlude- 4.5
I'm on Fire- 4.5
WTF SMH- 5
Once a Man, Twice A Child- 5
Get Light- 5
First Time- 5
Beef- 4.5
Don't Shoot- 4.5
Till My Last Breath- 4

I know some gonna fight me for Beef and Don't Shoot not being a 5 because both incredible, but i can't put my finger quite on it. but they lack something. still amazing and to me still 4.5/5

The Truth. But Legit is still legit

Quadruple entendre

Edit: actually, I gotta think about it

The Truth Nas lyrically spazzed but his delivery and vocal performance is superior on Legit, and that sample

All of Nas/Premo collabs have been classic but it's been so long. When's the last really hot record Premo put out? Gangstarr was a long time ago. His new stuff have been decent but ultimately forgettable. Prhyme was aight. I don't think Premo played any of those joints at his Verzuz if you know what I mean.

I would be hype if they announced it but I'm not really pushing for it. shyt, I'd be more hype for another Hitboy/Nas collab at this point. I'll tell you what though, KD3 started to feel like Nas had to repeat a bunch of themes in his songs. I wonder if Nas is starting to run a bit dry on thematic ideas.

I thought the Slick Rick track earlier this year was really dope
