I remember listening to this on an IPOD on a flight to NYC, my first time, the day after it was released. I think I waited til I was on the flight to even hear the album.
Saw The Dark Knight in Union Square opening night, it was a dope and iconic summer. End times, before the Recession.
Was running back Untitled and Testify around the time I was at the protests in May.
When gas prices were $5.15 per gallon and I had to walk everywhere cause I was too broke to afford gas and insurance
When 1 hit wonder dance crazes were all on the radio, with non lyrical content
When Lil Wayne was considered the greatest ever when those 90s babies never heard of a Hov or Nas album.
When Obama was campaigning against McCain and had every last person in America on their seats.
When "The Dark Knight" had sold out shows
11:15 am on a Monday morning.
Nas "Untitled" held me down when Summer 2008 was at its most unpredictable moments.
