Amazing track, even more so when you know that it was produced by a 17-year-old who had won a contest to produce a song for Nas. This and Deja Vu should have been on an album!

Agreed!!!

This is legit like watching a film. The way Nasir can paint a picture with the words. The way he puts the sentences together. Just unbelievable. For sure the GOAT 🐐 Undisputed, unchallenged, pound for pound greatest to ever do it.

The nerve of putting Kendrick and Jay ahead of Nas…🤦🏾‍♂️

this is untouchable, underrated, straight out fire .

100% fact

This dude makes you follow his flow and think, which makes the beat just fade away. Its like hypnotizing or something.

Nas' storytelling game is SUPERB!!!

nas said it right in still matic. 'last real nigga alive". people think a lyricist is ll in complex words and punchlines. to a degree the cleverness in how you deliver words is a display of lyrical ability but the word lyrical means emotionally connected or attached to life. Nas is the only lyricist left that actually defines what lyrical means. This is why he said hip hop is dead. because lyrics died long before he said it. One love 1606 Certified!!!

We need a full album with unreleased songs by Nas, like he did in the past. I swear, this song is addictive!

Nas ia the greatest narrator in hiphop history hands down period.

I couldn’t stop listening to this when it came out back in high school

I'm English and even though there is some quality rap here, Nas is without doubt the best ever.

Some show love and some are envious, some got the heart of gold, some venomous.

This Song from Nas is Incredible!! Classic Nas Style n Flow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That first verse is so deep.

LYRICS FLAWLESS 🔥

one of the most underated songs,sick beat,sick nas flow like always!

This song is so smooth. Feels like am floating.

Bro this track has absolutely no right being so fucking good man 😭😭😭 Nas needs to release this shit asap hopefully on lost tapes 3

The movie “the untouchables” has a scene like that doesn’t it..

Nas + C Sick sampling Ultra Nate makes this track legendary. Two polar worlds reflected in the emcee and the beat. Then comes the intro....and a tale of the continuously examined dichotomy which he re-examines throughout his music- Being in between worlds. The lenses continue to flick: the Queens perspective vs the Manhattan perspective and then approaches it globally and then universally.

Most underrated nas song

This song is simply Dope! It made me think and ponder. Because I keep playing it and I noticed something new a few times. The life of the famous, I could only imagine must be Exhilarating and exhausting both the same. Especially when going back to where you started from. Because it’s who you are and where your going to choose to stay...it’s almost like you will feel misplaced despite of the Riches and luxurious. So my question is, ‘Is it really worth it?’ NAS 🤴😎❤️

I might've played this song non-stop for 1 or 2 whole weeks in January. hahah, good times.

2020 and his music lives on
