Suspect & Take it in blood

Been noticing a lot of love for Suspect in this thread. This thread is truly getting me to appreciate these tracks more

 

[EA]

Now how can I perfect this
livin reckless, die for my necklace
Crime infected, drivin a Lexus with a death wish
Jettin, checkin my message on the speaker
Boppin to Mona Lisa brown reefer, ten G's, gun and my Visa
CD crankin, doin ninety on the Franklin-D-Roosevelt
No seat belt, drinkin and thinkin
My man caught a bad one son, nikkaz is frightened
Secret indictments, adds on to one seekin enlightment
My Movado says seven, the God hour, that's if you follow
traditions started by the school not far from the Apollo
My "fukk Tommorrow" motto through the eyes of Pablo
Escobar the desperado - word to Cus D'Amato



My godfather thinks I'm crazy when I tell him that IWW is better than Illmatic but Nas was at his lyrical apex on this album.

 

[H. Selassie]

It's always been Take It In Blood but Watch Them nikkas is a very close 2nd.

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Illmatic and IWW strongest back to back albums in hip hop

Infamous and Hell on Earth

 

[OG Talk]

Shootouts

"Fat ass desolving like cotton candy in a mouth that's starving"



Then the 2nd verse about Havoc's brother Killa Black




GOAT

MATW and AEOM

Unfair as aeom is a 2cd

 

[Sound (∀√a) Maths]

I still get heated that Nas didnt put Street Dreams Remix on the album. That song was superb.

Honestly if it was on the album I would pick it. Street Dreams Remix has it all!

 

[UpAndComing]

Watch Dem nikkas


Fight me
