Farrinto
Who's the best MCs? Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
I agree. Only about two tracks hold it back from being a perfect album to me.
What's your favorite song from "It Was Written"?

Either Take It in Blood or Live nikka Rap.
I got 11 favorites, lol
1. The Message ~ That 1st verse is the illest verse on the whole album imo...and that's saying a whole lot.
2. If I Ruled The World ~ One of my favorite rap songs ever. Probably the "best" song on the album. Second verse might be up there with that 1st verse on "The Message".
3. Street Dreams ~ Probably my most played rap song ever, 3rd verse be speaking to my soul. Crazy how him and Pac rockin on the same beat did nothing to deter me either way, same beat but still sound totally different for some reason.
4. Take it in Blood ~ Perfect beat. Perfect Rhyming.
5. I Gave You Power ~ Conceptually, this shyt was alien music in 1996. I was too young to appreciate it for what it was back then...but as I got older I realized why my big bro and them thought this was the dopest song ever.
6. Suspect ~ This was my favorite song as an 11 year old hearing this shyt the first time, shyt was gangsta AF, lol. I still love it. "Are you the type of nikka to shoot a leg to get cha name known?"
7. Silent Murder
8. Black Girl Lost
9. Watch Dem nikkas
10. Affirmative Action
11. Nas is Coming (I came to appreciate this over the years, mainly Nas' rapping. I always skipped it back then.)
The Set Up, Shootouts, Live nikka Rap. All three are good (Especially The Set Up) but I wouldn't put them on my "Favorites" list, I never revisit them. I feel like I'm forgetting something for some reason, if so it probably belongs with these other 3 too, for me. 7 joints I LOVE and 4 joints I really like...can't realistically ask for much more from an album.

Only Nas could get hate for an album with I Gave you Power, Take It In Blood and Street Dreams on there
