"Watching for paint chips dont want no lead in child
But them gangsters put lead in yo child"

"Eyes cut every direction, its like God or Guns...which is better protection? Cant decide, thats a hard one"

^^^ in tqo lines this nygga is essentially questioning the world which is based on the ideology of God and the world and street wars"

Nas was insane on this!!!!

I dont think Nas has more quotables in a song than this one..
From, Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
Them treacherous rastas in the Mexican mafias
Who the fukk is putting Czechoslovakia rastas mafias in a rhyme? :dead: nikka left the booth like

5th album should be called MADNESS, because this is an unprecedented run for a 30 year Hip-Hop Vet:mindblown::wow:;
Columbia left another a million in sales by abandoning I Am :francis: . That joint was getting play on Hot 97
I am was ringing off when it dropped. I don’t know how you as a label you don’t drop you won’t see me tonight with a video

crazy to think NYSOM about to pass up If I Ruled on his Spotify. NYSOM is probably the essential Nas song at this point not having that in the top 10 east coast songs is :dead: . Rolling Stone:mjlol:
It’s wild how almost all of Nas topped streaming songs are solo missions. If you look at a lot of other artist, they all have features helping carry those numbers.

that's the streaming #'s era is bogus why I don't make a big deal of it. Albums like Nasir has more streams than LT1 all the KD's Magic LIG, any sane person not Ye stan gonna argue that album is better than those?:childplease:

I personally hate Nas having features. I only want to hear Nas yo. AZ is cool because he was there from the start, but I can't think of any rappers I want to hear on a Nas track. It's probably because his earlier stuff spoke to me in such a different way than other rappers. shyt was relevant AF to what my childhood experiences and early adulthood were. Now, I just like to enjoy Nas's music is my own way.

I’m cool with whatever Nas does at this point in his career. Me personally, I enjoy him new modern type of rap songs, as well as modern day boom bap. I also like seeing Nas do features with younger modern artist that maybe didn’t tap into Nas as much before but as soon as they hear him they notice his greatness. I’ve seen him collab with Az of the world, so I’m all about what can he do that is new. But we all have different perspectives which is dope.
