When I heard Take It in Blood bumping out of a random car stereo last week. I REALLY start to wonder is IWW better than Illmatic?!!??

 

[JayBaldacci]

Nas floated on take it in blood. Unprecedented performance.

 

[Big Mark]

I think its a dope, dope track and I would love to hear the other alternate takes on the song. There were rumored to be a few. I think he was lyrically better on IWW. Illmatic was full of street tales and street knowledge and poetry. IWW was fabricated drug stories and scenarios that I personally could've done without, however, he was lyrically sharp and on his A game and I have not heard anyone come close to IWW lyrically.

 

[jadillac]

this isn't even a top 3 song on that album for me tho

 

[ISO]

Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 Gusto
You luck low, I didnt know til I was drunk through

The way he kicked that shyt off is

The way Nas was starting songs on It Was Written was just something else


They never realized how real Nas is so decisive
It's just the likeness of Isrealites mist that made me write this

I hope Nas do something special in 2016 for It Was Written, we still never got to hear that rumored track he did with D'Angelo and Method Man.

 

[UpAndComing]

IWW...

Greatest Hip Hop album of all time

 

[Asicz]

.45 by my scrotum, manifest, the do or die slogan...

The symbolism.

The gun is often parallel to a phallus the giver and potential ender of life.

 

[mson]

I can't recite the lyrics without nearly drooling....the flow

Effortless and butter soft

 

[mr. smoke weed]

this isn't even a top 3 song on that album for me tho

Neg pending. Explain this absurdity.

 

[FuckAllY'all77]
