Favorite track off Nas'- "It Was Written"(Poll & Discussion)

[Deucage]

A continuation of my "Favorite track off a Classic or Great album" threads and the second part of Nas' discography which will consist of his classic and great albums. It Was Written is Nas' second album. The follow up to Hip-Hop's GOAT album Illmatic. At the time of its release, It Was Written polarized the Hip-Hop audience. Some said Nas sold out with IWW and some even said it's a Pop album. My favorite track is a tie between Take It in Blood & I Gave You Power. Choosing between the 2 is like choosing who your favorite child is. Both are 2 of the best Hip-Hop tracks of all time,but I'll give the vote to I Gave You Power. Recently though Live nikka Rap has been getting a lot of burn in my car. What's your favorite track & if you can,explain.

Too easy: Live nikka Rap.

if Take It In Blood were Take It In Blood 2, then I'd pick that

 

[MJ Truth]

For me, it's Watch Dem nikkas. Take It In Blood and The Message are VERY close seconds though.

Gave You Power

Gotta go with affirmative action on this one but there's only about 3 wrong answers to this question

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

1.Gave you Power-from a gun's perspective even Tupac said that song inspired him

2.The Message- sending warning shots to Jay-Z Classic opening diss line "fake thugs no love you get the slugs CB4 gusto."

3.Black Girl Lost- it's a fake deep song with black girls with superficial mindsets but still a great record

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

Take It In Blood or Silent Murder can't decide

EDIT - Damn I forgot how dope this album is. Gonna need to give it another listen before I vote

Suspect

 

[Billy Ocean]

Gave You Power

Watch Dem nikkas and The Message>>>>

"My man caught a bad one son, nikkas is fightin, secret indictments as on the ones seeking enlightenment"

2.The Message- sending warning shots to Jay-Z Classic opening diss line "fake thugs no love you get the slugs CB4 gusto."

I don't think he was throwing shots at Jay, most people think it's 2Pac if he was even dissing anybody in the first place.

 

[H.S.]

For whatever reason, it's been "Suspect" for the last few months. That beat sounds haunted. Next week I might go back to saying it's "Take It In Blood," though.

Yeah Nas felt like Jay Z was biting his style on Reasonable Doubts
