that Nas - You're da Man was an unreal song

[detroitwalt]

That version with the dog barking

 

[pez]

Always thought he meant 9/11 planes. No clue

I envisioned a dead pigeon in a puddle. When you look at it with the puddle reflecting the sky. I bike NYC and see this type of stuff.

I think he just means it's all fukked up. The people and the environment.

"I hold cannons that shoot balls of flame
Right in they fat mouth then I carve my name
Nas – too real, Nas – true king"

"Came in with my style, so I fathered you"

"I never asked to be top of rap's elite
Just a ghetto child tryna learn the traps of the streets"

You’re Da Mannnn

You’re Da Mannnn

Sugar man sample

It's so ill that Large Pro took Rodriguez' Sugar Man sample and made it sound like he is saying 'You're Da Man'

 

[Badda_Bing]

What about that Intro though, best of intro of all time?

I still run with that, that blood of a slave, boilin' in my veins
It's just hot - until a nikka can't take it no more
Blood of a slave, heart of a King

 

[madness]

Fame went to they head, so now it's "fukk Nas"
Yesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guys



Now you wanna hang with nikkas I hung with
fukk bytches I hit

 

[Roxx the King]

Classic

[badboys11]

I'm not old enough to remember but I'm sure the old heads were probably yearning for that Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, G rap era during the Pac, Big, Nas era too

we never appreciate sh1t while its here

Thats exactly how it was

 

[THE 101]

Sugar man sample

This blew my mind when I first watched that doc and realised that was the You're Da Man sample

 

[Ziploc]

because you are lead to believe it says that..

like jay z's Imaginary player, it blatantly says Imaginary playmate.

Loved how Dilla flipped "Claire" and made it "Playa"..genius production right there
