From childbirth to hearses, flow like the Nile cover surface
I bit the fruit from the serpent
Apocalyptic, get bent, stay splifted
Control the rap game? You got it twisted
Dr. Dre way, the 'Bridge say "Shake dice and kiss it"
Sip Cris', push the six with biscuit
Jeep full of chickens, pull up beside, have a listen, y'all
Nas, y'all, fly gangsta, wavy hair, teeth chipped in
My shyt bump, in the courtroom drunk
Links truck, rocky bracelet, cognac kernel, never chase it
Rap hero, black DeNiro
Federal Bureau tapped my line and got zero
Rap pro, diamond Role, hustling low
Profile white gold style, raking bloody dough by the pile
Shot down, still alive, he struggling for the phone, fo-fo blow him
When homicide comes, these three words are sung
3rd verse of Nas is coming
Watch dem nikkaz IDK what the best verse is all 3 are flawless

Growing up project-struck, looking for luck dreaming
Scoping the large nikkas beaming, check what I'm seeing
Cars, Ghetto stars pushing ill Europeans
G'n, heard about them old timers OD'n
Young, early 80's, throwing rocks at the crazy lady
Worshipping every word them rope rocking nikkas gave me
The street raised me up, giving a fukk
I thought Jordan's and a gold chain was living it up
I knew the dopes, the pushers, the addicts everybody
Cut out of class, just to smoke blunts and drink naughty
Ain't that funny? Getting put on to crack money
With all the gun play, painting the kettle black hungry
A case of beers in the staircase I wasted years
Some nikkas went for theirs, flipping coke as they career
But I'm a rebel stressing, to pull out of the heat no doubt
With Jeeps tinted out, spending never holding out
Nas performing in Albany July 19th. Got my tickets, front row
I got no game its just some bytches understand my story.
Thats my lifetime mantra when dealing with women.
I was following that shyt from California and it was wild how obvious the New York media bias was. From banning the Stillmatic Freestyle from radio to trying to act like the phone polls was close, Fat Joe shut that shyt down quick
New York media and certain fans always been weird as fukk with Nas. I wasn't online like that until 1999, so I ain't even know how much hate IWW got among the east coast backpack crowd and media. Out west that was most people introduction to Nas and it was seen as a dope album, and got positive reviews basically everywhere. I never heard nobody say negative word about it in real time except from dudes that hated everything from New York
Nas Speaks Eloquently With Poetic 'It Was Written' : 1/2 NAS *** "It Was Written" Columbia
Nas, the most talented pure rapper to emerge from New York since Rakim, packs whole novels within his crime-laced verses.

Nas, the most talented pure rapper to emerge from New York since Rakim, packs whole novels within his crime-laced verses. Compellingly visual and straight to the point, this follow-up to his critically acclaimed 1994 debut, “Illmatic,” demonstrates a continuing lyrical maturity that makes his already potent beats and rhymes all the more compelling.
Featuring production assistance by Dr. Dre, Trackmasterz and DJ Premier, this collection reinforces Nas’ reputation as the hip-hop equivalent of Claude Brown, the author of “Manchild in the Promised Land,” the landmark autobiography of coming of age in a New York ghetto.
Although Nas sometimes seems obsessed with writing about materialistic aspirations, there is at the heart of his art a poetic purity that speaks eloquently about his struggle for self-identity and survival.
“It Was Written,” which entered the national sales chart this week at No. 1, is highlighted by “I Gave You Power,” a song in which Nas views life from the perspective of a Desert Eagle 9-millimeter pistol. Matching striking, explosive images with social commentaries against black-on-black violence, this hard-thumping track hits with the force of a point-blank hollow-point shell.

Question for y'all. Is Jojo singing all the chorus on black girl lost or Nas singing the first part and then Jojo did the second part ? I'm confused with the voices
How much of it is just Roc-A-Fella was on Def Jam and had Kevin Liles and Lyor Cohen behind them? That was the most powerful label in hip hop from 1998-2004. Only rivaled by Aftermath and Interscope but they had a smaller roster.
Meanwhile Nas over at Columbia and Sony where hip hop wasn't a priority. 1996-2004 they was dealing with a lot of craziness surrounding Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson. Obviously Fugees and Lauryn Hill had major success there along with Nas, but they wasn't really concerned with rap roster or leveraging connects on their behalf. If Tommy Mottola stepped in and threw his weight around with the hip hop radio stations and media it would have been different, but that was never gonna happen.

It's ugly outside, it's muggy, it's money outside
105 Fahrenheit, thunderous skies
The clouds shape a clown face above where you reside
Under his eye, a teardrop got the ugliest cry
They call my city Gotham City, opposite of pretty
Weatherman cannot predict bullets rainin' from out the 50
It's ugly outside, Big L would be here if it wasn't
Hell'll freeze over the day it doesn't get ugly out
How can we hug it out
After we slugged it out?
We should be buying acres adjusting each other's crowns
That was your brother back then, how could you gun him down?
Yeah, yeah
This what I live for
The inventor
The re-invention, I'm reincarnated, see what it hit for
Yo, even your mentor can get you sent for
Get you chipped off if it's a brick off, you hit a brick wall
Damn, big dog
Dove in that water and got hit with a cannonball
Ugly Christmas sweater party with no Santa Claus
Companies profit off of black trauma
That's ugly, mad ugly just like Sheneneh and Wanda
You been through shyt I been through shyt every day is an honor
It's ugly how Mercedes Moore lost her life to a stalker
I'm on offense every day 'til I see the love
KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz
One of my favorite verses of the HB era
