Was listening to Self Conscience yesterday and found this comment from the producer. Not sure how well this is known, but I’d never heard it before:
“For all y’all saying Pee killed Nas on this....This song was a record we produced originally for the HNIC album. Nas heard it and wanted it for QB album. Nas then put his verse on it.”
Yall checked this out before? Just randomly bumped into it reading about sheet music. Madd long but interesting, pause.

I agree, the can't fukk myself and mind is the power lines stick with me the most. That's just the debate around it or that it feels more like a Prodigy song, which it apparently is.
Nas and P both shined, I can't call it.
HNIC P was in his bag so much Hav, Nas and Cormega all wanted verses/songs from it (Quiet Storm was for HNIC, Self Conscience and Mega wanted THREE for The Realness but had to settle for P's THUN AND KICKO verse).
RIP Prodigy mannn

Best track out of all the Stillmatic and God's Son remixes by a mile.

Yeah during the bigger arena shows for the Life is Good tour he had a stage show set up. I think this one is from the Carneige Hall new years show but I remember seeing him in London at the O2 Arena and he came out in Illmatic army fatigues with a shorty in a green dress and threw the bouqet in the crowd
Killing it with the new vids @jensyao
I think I finally ran out of video ideas, which is good because I have other checklist items to do...i just did a lot of overarching themes to cover the most ground or make videos that a regular fan wouldn't know...
there's so many incomplete Nas compilations/makeshift playlists/mixtapes on youtube that it's appalling....nobody is using the whole Nas discography deck to make compilations on there and I was fed up with other youtubers pedaling low-researched work
things to do:
- find remaining Nas acapellas and instrumentals or DIY it www.reddit.com/r/nas/comments/mj5men/ongoing_the_hunt_for_nas_acapellas_need_your_help/
- fill in the producers, samples. and various trivia notes for all the leaked Nas tracks over the years https://www.reddit.com/r/nas/wiki/index
- do some vocal synthesis on available acapellas and see where it goes www.reddit.com/r/nas/comments/mnc6fx/experimental_used_voice_synthesis_on_nas/
- transcribe all the remaining Nas songs to rapgenius and annotate when appropriate jensyao | Genius
- Find all the subliminal disses Nas sent out over the years..Halftime, HHID etc
- Create re-imagined playlists for albums for tracks that were scrapped but was fire
i actually hate contributing to rapgenius because a lot of it is grunt-work and there's still significant amounts jay-stan trolling on there..i swear, every rare Nas song's unregulated annotation starts off with "Nas is not so smart here" or some bullshyt quote/meme from Jay lyrics taking jabs at Nas
it's ironic that Nas invested in rapgenius but the people who are their editors are jay stans...we need to have a Nas crusade to edit for rap genius and contribute annotations from a pro-Nas standpoint so that at least one of us can fight off all the Jay-stans on that site from an editor's perspective
I posted more on the 2 channels but these actually took some effort
