Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
fukk, i didn't expect this to be that long of a post but all my shyt turn out too lengthy....there's too many youtube video embeds if I copy-paste it over so I just embedded the entire reddit post....if i'm repeating stuff, that's because it's for the reddit crowd who haven't seen some of thecoli threads to know about them

see if you guys can find the original songs to these 2 snippets

Lyrics:

Can't fukk what I fukk with
Hold what I bust with
nikkas/bytches that I roll with
On some old thorough shyt
Yo, bussin' and clappin'
Just making it happen
On point from the door
Just laying down the law

^ sounds like a chorus refrain

Dope Beat, Somebody told me that Puff did it
But If Dre ain't do it I can't fukk with it

^ interpolates lyrics from NWA - Alwayz Into Somethin'



lol, Nas apparently took a shot at Da Youngsta's "Pass The Mic" on "Halftime"

I was on discogs recently and found some stuff...I haven't dug the entire rabbit hole yet


has "Nas Live At The California Club NYC"


I have no idea what this is...some promo cassette from trackmasters


This is supposedly where people heard The Curse from....not sure if there is any alternative versions of existing songs



^ didn't see anyone on slsk who has these rare stuff

wrote a thread documenting all the Nas fanpages too www.reddit.com/r/nas/comments/myqtk7/shout_out_to_all_the_nas_fan_pages_on_various/

Speaking of does anybody know the breakdown of the ending of this?
These are the 3 takes I've seen:
1. James just jumped to conclusions and she smiles as a sign of relief that it's over. She didn't cheat yet, but wasn't loyal either and is down to hook up with Nas.
2. James was right that she was cheating, but wrong about the place and mistook her for someone else at the fight. She smiles because she didn't actually get caught.
3. Nas is an unreliable narrator. He teases the thought of doing more than looking at her at the start of the 2nd verse. She smiles because they didn't get caught.

I always took it as either she was smiling in “shock” at all the crazines that just happened and was on the verge of a breakdown after seeing her man’s dead body.


OR

She was smiling because now that he was dead she was going to inherit whatever wealth he possessed and she was just a scandalous bytch.

Interesting. I was trying to come up with something last night and I just couldn't figure it out.
