i don't think you can say that nas isn't the best lyricist ever. jay electronica could've come to compete with him but failed. who's been at it for so long and stayed so good? from "my name is nas i'm not a legal typea fella, moet drinkin marijuana smokin street dweller" to "the ether, the shyt to make your soul burn slow" to life is good.. dude never ever fell off.. don't call it a come back... nas may take some L's in real life but he still the gawd MC and nothing can diminish him.. :blessed:

Same thing with it ain't hard to tell. That's telling you a lot about his lyrical genius when you are able to make an hardcore anthem without a single curse in it

I also remember the Hate Me Now video. The track itself was bonkers and the video was even better.

Escobar season has returned....

and I was like :stylin::dj2::yes::ahh::win:

Also I wanted to sit up in a club and spit out champagne like puffy did in the video. We should make that into a gif. The moment when puff is spitting out that crystal.

not me I hated that song

as the other poster said we thought this was the end of that shiny suit shyt then that sweet video dropped

I disagree. The video was cool. They were on that flashy sh!t in the club scenes but there was no shiny suits to be worn.

I ain't seen the video in a while but a lot of it was in the street on some grimey sh!t. They hit the club and Nas was wearing a mink and sunglasses or something like that?

It was far from ur typical Puffy shiny suit kind of video tho.
