I felt like Made U Look was more celebratory
Got Urself A Gun was a response to Jay's Dynasty Intro...he was really on some art of war with the record

To me, Stillmatic Intro was a response to Dynasty Intro. Both are the first song off each album, just a verse with no hook, dope ass beat. Its close but Stillmatic intro> Dynasty Intro.

the theme song of the sopranos
Plays in the key of life in my mental piano

Nas then flipped the Sopranos theme song into a classic song

Nas is a mad scientist...the fact he turned a line into a hot song and no one realizes it shows his genius lol

That's why I hold Got Ur Self A Gun in such high regard

And Megahertz killed the sample and the production on that

Neck ties and boxing gloves.
Outside of Ether, Got Yourself a Gun was Nas's Mama Said Knock You Out.

Made You Look was proof Nas could make a commercial strong street song which sounded like a victory lap.

And it was.

I Gave You Power but

the first is from the 80s song “woke up this morning, and got myself a gun” didn’t like the song though

Made You Look was a great sound and fun/punny lyrics
