Do Nas and Prodigy have the best collaborative history in the game?

Self Conscience is one of the greatest songs ever made



[Prodigy]
Yo..
Is it ill, do it need to be fixed?

(That shyt is real Dunn; and stop talkin like your skills don't kill)
Nah it's just that sometimes I feel like that
I can write more fouler than the last


[Prodigy's "Conscience"]
Yo that shyt is cash trust me Dunn; I'll never lead you astray
Take my word nikkas wanna hear how you think
It be that shyt that you wouldn't expect to win
That stay playin in they decks over and again
Speak your thoughts, put your all in it
Whatever's in your mind, spit it

Place your anger on the page, release tension on the tape
A stress verse, seem to be what they most thirst
Makes fake nikkas disperse, they never challenge what works

[Prodigy]
Balancin the weakness, is what I specialize in
Dunn you my nikka cause you keep me hype when I'm writin
Kept me on point in the night when it might go down
Keep me eyes wide in the daytime as well
Kept me focused on what's real and nuttin else

I find it healthy, to conversate with myself
I kick it with my delf (I kept you alive, all these years)
It's that inner voice you shoulda took heed to and shyt
Coulda been home instead of bleedin
Maybe next time you'll listen when it speaks

[Prodigy's "Conscience"]
Yo Dunn, I got a story to tell
Remember last week's mission? I told you bring the gun
(Yeah I remember) Nah listen, without me you'd be a memory
I'm the one you could come to for guidance
Bring you home alive when you wildin
Kept you out of harm's way, told you when to spray
Told you when it's time to put it away
And when the cops came, you was safe


[Prodigy]
Without question, I stay aware Dunn I'm listenin
Everytime we speak it's real, I know your intention's
To make sure we both safe and livin, and breathin
You gets all respect from me Dunn, believe it


[Prodigy's "Conscience"]
Yo we got kids to raise and bills to pay
Enemies to lay down when they stand in our way, it's only us
(What about the clique?) Now if you die is they comin?
When you shot do they feel the bullet?
And when you broke can they fix it? Aight then, you keep writin
And let me do the thinkin, I brought us this far without mistaken


:ohhh::wow:


[Nas]
Voices in my head from choices that I dreaded choosin
Cautions I shoulda took heed, lost in my weed, steady losin

Thug stripes, badges of honor, forces to succeed
Whores on they knees, fukkin with millionaires, killers and thieves
I fukk until there's no feelin where, I bust and I pee
I lusted cars but I suffered and my scars run deep
I stay to myself, one deep, pray to my God cause he
Say when it's hard get on one knee, and ask Thy for forgiveness

fukk the cash, the ice, the Ferrari's
With two-twenty on the dash when your life ain't right

See nikkas smile up in your face and stick a knife in your back
Snakes shake your hand and got his dikk up in your wife back

Why's it like that? It's life black, this is the game
The way I see it both bytches and nikkas, is the same
I trust myself, I can't fukk myself
When hoes leave and no weed I still know me, just myself
Fear is weakness learn from what experience teaches
Beware of leeches, the vampires, my secret's
Never follow, cause most nikkas is straight up cowards
Take care of my body's the temple, my mind is the power

:mjcry:

just off the top of my head so help me out if I miss a few:

Eye for an eye
Live nikka rap
Family
It's mine
Self conscience
Tick tock
Queens day
Give it up fast
Usa aight then (there's a version with nas if I'm not mistaken)

Probably missing more than a few but you could make a nice mix with the joints they appear on together

Imagine a P/nas album in 96? :ohlawd:

And how do P and nas measure up against Rae and ghost or whoever else has a strong collaborative resume??
Nas/Az and Ghost/Rae>>>.

But damn they're great together.

incidentally you mention Prodigy and I remember Rae and Ghost effortlessly trading bars MID-SENTENCE on the track Right Back at You off The Infamous album

you aren't fukking with that sort of chemistry

factor in Cuban Linx, Cuban Linx II, Ironman....all the Wu shyt....tracks like The M.G.M., R.A.G.U.

as a non-official duo, Rae and Ghost are untouchable....and better than a lot of official duos at that
Ok you've convinced me. I love Nas and AZ but it doesn't compare to the sheer amount of classics Rae and Ghost got.
