This is another goat Nas verse. Man between this verse and triple beam dreams alone people cant tell me he ain't the goat. This is what verse of years sound like.



Wish this was on Life Is Good. I mean, "Bye Baby" was a great way to close the album, but this would've been that powerful Nas record that closed an album. Nas was killing everything that year. Nas X J.U.S.T.I.C.E League was a force.

I like Bye Baby as the closer. Although I only listen to the deluxe version of life is good. I wouldnt have been mad if this song was on life is good somewhere though.

this's what some fools in the 20 song battle threads don't get, sometimes album cuts can be as memorable and impactful as hits when it comes to someone like Nas.

Nas absolutley has a catalogue to compete in a 20 song Versuz batte

Now I get that if you pit him against a big dog hit maker who hes usually mentioned amongst he might not reach the pop masses but he has commercial hits, remixes, features, street classics and deep cuts

And for god sake, his songs have already have already been featured in these battles for other dudes

Khaled's always done well with Nas. This behind the scenes video of them making the record was dope. 5:42 Scarface hears Nas' verse for the first time :lolbron:

I still get confused when people say Bye Baby is the last track on Life Is Good. Lol

Me too.

I consider the deluxe version the intended, complete version of the album. Before the album dropped an interviewer asked how many tracks were on the album and Nas said 18.
for some reason, Nas almost always drop a different version of his albums with extra songs.

I remember "it was written" tape had "Silent Murder". "I am" tape had "Nature shines". "Nastradamus" had "Hustlers & Killers"...etc

I have the deluxe with "Trust" included, so "Trust" is the final song, but most consider "Bye Baby" the closer since it closes out the standard version.
