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

[PS5 Pro]

we thought hiphop was garbage back in 2001 and was yearning for the old days of the 90s

now we're actually stuck in a garbage era yearning for 2001



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

Nah, hip-hop was still evolving, peaking even during the 90's. And they would pay homage and respect to those who came before them, wasn't no "you old nikkaz can't understand" bullshyt that the kids of today spit. They also had more variety/diversity and creativity, you wasn't allowed to "bite" styles and prosper, you couldn't even survive if it was discovered you wasn't what you claimed you was.

On a different note, Master P would be a billionaire if he came out in this era

[Bugzbunny129]

His best song

 

[StatUS]

"Sex with death, indulge in these women
Vision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire.
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds."

fukkin sick

 

[Mandizi]

"Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings in Ghana stay
So I can get on with my flesh right away
But that'll be the day when it's peace
When my gat don't need to spray
When these streets are safe to play"

The flow and rhyme scheme at this part was

Not a Nas fan like that but this is the best song he’s ever made. Very motivational and the production is heavenly

Tough choice, I am not mad at that.

Memory lane is Nas at his very best IMO.

Great song..but "Trust" may have topped this. Judt gem after gem in that song.
