Everytime I hear Stay it feels like the first time
you know what?... that describes the way the album ends off perfectly. 
I went out and bought another suit after hearing this album.

Do I want to wear Jordans, shell toe Adidas or my Nike Air Max? Do I want to wear my Rolex Gold Masterpiece? Or do I want to wear my Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Small Second?
2:00PM: I pick up my son from school, and we do whatever he decides! He likes to eat pizza and tell kid jokes to make me laugh. He also loves to watch movies, like Madagascar and Toy Story 1, 2, and 3. My favorite days are when we just talk, and he asks me questions about the world around us. Spending time with him is usually the best part of my day.
5:00PM: I head to the studio. At this point I’m in the zone – my music zone. First I’ll listen to a beat. I don’t look for any specific sound, but one that moves me. Once I’ve selected one, I start writing. I write in no particular order – sometimes the verse is first, other times the hook. I write what’s on my mind and that very moment, and those ideas can vary.

Ok. It shows how Nas' name stayed in Pac's mouth.
Relevant for 20+ years...

Nas was a weak rapper, yet Pac is out here stealing the Street Dreams beat and basing Me & My Girlfriend after I Gave You Power.
"While working as a journalist for The Source in 1994, Hampton covered three court cases involving Tupac. Around this time, she received an advance-copy of Illmatic and immediately dubbed a cassette version for Tupac, who became "an instant convert" of the album. The next day, she writes, Tupac "arrived in his assigned courtroom blasting Illmatic so loudly that the bailiff yelled at him to turn it off before the judge took his seat on the bench." In her essay, Hampton implies that Nas' lyricism might have influenced Tupac's acclaimed album, Me Against The World which was recorded that same year."

White Man's Paper :
I think I've talked about it in this thread some time ago, but back back when HHID was about to drop, there were a few reports of a song called white man's paper with damian marley that really looked promising. shyt was produced by an unknown cat called Afrykan (some sites even said "an african dude"). Well at that time I did some research and found him on YouTube and we started discussing about the track. he had gotten a call from def jam confirming it was on the album, but a few days before the release, without any reason they told him it got took off...
Just yesterday I was wondering what happened to him since then and found this :

Quite an interesting piece about the industry.. Shame we will probably never hear this song.. Poor dude himself only heard it once..

Why do people respond to this troll nikka? All he wants is attention.
Do I want to wear Jordans, shell toe Adidas or my Nike Air Max? Do I want to wear my Rolex Gold Masterpiece? Or do I want to wear my Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Small Second?

Reading this had me envisioning him and his son like the younger Nas and the boy in the One Love video, thought that was pretty cool. LOL at Nas waking up at 10 AM and spending the next two hours pondering his wardrobe and lunch selection.
