yes I know I'm tardy again this week.didn't get around to it yesterday.

 

[I love Latina women]

i'm rollin' with sugar hill

never thought to compare these 2 classics

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Both dope but If I Ruled The World took NaS to the next level:naswon:

They are jarringly similar if you think about it. I didn't even peep it until somebody on here mentioned it though.
AZ designed his Blueprint who you kidding
I agree with you in taking Sugar Hill...but they are both
@Illeye buckmatic made a great point about If I Ruled The World really pushing Nas over the threshold though. It Was Written was number 1 when it dropped thanks to this song.

I thought I'd never see but reality struck
You better find out before your time's out
What the fuuckk

glad to see AZ winning the poll.

"if I ruled the world" was nothin but a poor man's "sugar hill", but dressed up with a bigger budget.

Sugar Hill for me. I had the maxi single when it dropped in 95 and it had 3 versions of sugar hill and 2 versions of Rather Unique. I jammed that so many times.

I honestly didn't like IIRTW when it dropped

No more cutting grams, and wrapping grands up in rubber bands
I'm a recovered man,our plan's to discover other lands
Suburban places got me seeking for oasis
Cristal by the cases,ladies of all races with dime faces
Sex on the white sand beaches of Saint Thomas
Though this ain't promised, I'm as determined as them old timers
I want a villa in a Costa Rica
So I can smoke my reefer and enjoy how life supposed to treat ya
Laid in the shades of the everglades, finally forever paid
Wearing the finest fabrics tailors ever made
Me and my team, Carribean cuisine
I guess being down for so long I'm all in store to see my dreams

Sugar Hill

 

[JustCKing]
