Favorite track off Nas'-"Stillmatic"(Poll & Discussion)

[eastsideTT]

"You're Da Man", with "One Mic" and the intro tied for 2nd. I just remember rewinding "You're Da Man" a lot after I first heard it. Think I was a sophomore in high school in gym and I thought it seemed like a great defining track for Nas.



That's "What Goes Around".

smh at myself I always thought that track was called Poison. i owned the CD too

You're da man, from the beat to the lyrics, it's my favorite track on stillmatic, followed by the Intro, and 2nd Childhood.

Why did You're Da Man have some bars cut from it? If you search, there's an unreleased version that's a little longer

1. You're Da Man
2. The Flyest

The intro. One of the few albums where I prefer the intro over the rest of the songs.

LOL @ "Poison". TS you ain't gonna do a thread like this for "I Am" and "Nastradamus"?

Throw your hands up cuz we wanna dance
Don't be afraid just take a chance
Cuz this beat will rock your body
Get up on the floor and party
Now y'all tell me what y'all wanna do

Thinkin' while I have a drink or two
Throw your hands up everybody
Get up on the floor and party

1-"You're da Man" (Nas floats all over that ridiculous Large Pro beat)
2-"Stillmatic Intro" (killed it like he was back in his prime, massive amount of quotables in that gem....mornings was hashbrowns)
3-"2nd Childhood" (just pure HipHop)
4-"Destroy & Rebuild" (even tho he's going @ 1 of my goats 'Mega, the style & premise was creative as fukk)


Will never forget how much this LP was also a trunk/system banger......had speakers knocking hard with most of those tracks. Could feel someone playing "Got URself A Gun" 5-6 blocks away.


Would love to see 1 of these for "Gods Son".....the amount of love/hate & flip-flopping I've heard regarding that album over the years is crazy.

I've always liked what goes around the best

That's a good one. I picked you're da man off the bat because it's a goat rap song but what goes around is heavyweight too

I'm skeptical on if I should do the thread about it. Lost Tapes is certified, but there are people who flat out hate God's Son and some who love the album and think it's great. I see it as "I Am" where both albums have all time classic Nas tracks but the rest of the album has some really bad tracks that bring the album down.
