here is a playlist I made with my favorite songs of the album. Kind of trying to recreate Illmatic with a 2012 NaS "state of mind":
Loco-Motive - NY State of Mind
Cherry Wine - Life's a bytch
You Wouldn't Understand - World Is Yours
Stay - Halftime
Back When - Memory Lane
Where's The Love - One Love
Black Bond - One Time 4 Your Mind
Queen's Story - Represent
Bye Baby - It Aint' Hard to Tell

It flows really well IMO and I prefer it over the album because I don't have to skip anything and could just turn it on and zone out.

Really surprise Nas came through and dropped a phenomenal album. 20 plus years in the game and still has it. Its just unprecedented when you think about it. I'm just really happy I got a great Nas album to add in the collection.

Trust,Wheres The Love and Roses all album worthy tracks man. If someone told me these were lost session 90;s track I would agree with them. lol

the tri-state
Nas the Don Dada Remix is just the regular version just stripped of all the bells and whistles and the rest of the sound effects.

also the intro from the single is placed at the end of the track., I prefer the single version.

Shan's voice sample on Back When is just :ahh::wow::to:

Nas spoke the gospel on the second verse :lawd:

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 likethefoul words Gibson spewed
And it's pathetic, I don't get the credit I deserve
That'swhy I hatedoing 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 in me, I'm here to enlighten


:pachaha: at his Studio 54 Flow line.
