To call them fake today is hate, real nikkas extinct
Pac left me inside a rap world with nikkas that wink
At other rappers, undercover nikkas spit every way
Won't be surprised if all their rides have federal plates
Let alone their wardrobes and Studio 4 flow
It was real when I appeared, it would've been some jaws broke
Nas, my real name, stage name, same thing
How could you let these lames claim king? I'm so ashamed, man
I light a L for Vernon, for nikkas who would burn in Hell
For Vernon; 10th Street, 12th Street, Nightmare on Elm Street
Pimps creep, delve deep inside the editorials
Of the ghetto queens, kings, stories true
Who possesses the testicular fortitude
To blow away myths that's a hindrance to all of you?
You blame your own shortcomings on sex and race
The mafia, homosexuals and all the Jews
It's hogwash point of views, stereotypical
Anti-Semitic like the foul words Gibson spewed
And it's pathetic
I don't get the credit I deserve
That's why I hate doing interviews
But I don't sweat it, study long, study raw
My man Dion said "Nas over-think the songs he writing"
I'm not a wack performer standing near a corny hype man
I got the Donism
I'm here to enlighten
amazing album :wow:

Did any of those unreleased tracks ever come out? I don't remember rumors about AZ being on the album.

From "I AM" to "Untitled" I only really loved Stillmatic (Lost Tapes too obviously, if that counts)...and I'm a super duper next level Esco stan, lol.. Of course all of those albums had their moments, multiple moments, but overall as full bodies nothing really struck me as "This is FIRE!", just being objective...mostly for production/direction purposes but blah blah...

When LIG came it finally gave me that feeling again like yeah, this shhit is it, dope ass full album. From this album to "Magic 3" I only really disliked "Nasir" and that shhit is just a glorified EP to me...everything else ranges from good to great imo, Magic 2 is iffy but I'll push it to Good for the sake of argument, lol, it's solid.
