Second listen through, now I'm starting to think the Reach Out hate is unwarranted. I don't know how much people are "hating" on it now, but I remember the initial impressions to be negative. Granted, I can understand where people are coming from if they are tired of the sample (I like what they did with it personally) or if they don't care for the hook, but tell me Nas didn't go IN on the track. Sheeeeeesh he killed it.
Oh yeah, and the sample is almost completely drowned out on the hook anyway.
