Poppa was a playa was tragic. 
"My moms would put us to bed and she would wait on
Soon as he walk in the door she barking
I turned out the Jonny Carson
Jumped out the bed
We grabbed both his legs
Me and my brother
Not knowing the pain he gave my mother
Night after night, fighting yelling at each other
My papa played the street all day
Mama was either home, at work, while we played inside the hall way
She sacrifices all she got to feed us
When she was alone she cried by the phone pepping out the window heeding
But still I didn't see it
Mama hid it from us
We was kids younger
Till we got bigger, on to
Bigger things that we knew what the time was
That daddy was leaving the crib and moms love"
"What's this white shyt on that plate and your facing?
Papa why you butt ass from the waist
And who's this lady I'm facing
Dark skin you're not my mommy
He grabbed me up to run some smooth words by me
Promise things that he would buy me
If I kept my mouth close and don't tell mommy
He said one day I'll understand little me
What's in you is inside me"
He ended up doing A LOT of things his own dad did. Cheating in relationships, fights, not being around his kid as much because of his career. It's amazing how he was able to still have love for his father considering what he put his mother through ESPECIALLY since him and his mother was so close to each other. For a man who stays quiet about his life, when he does decide to open up, he REALLY opens up.

Doo Rags, My Way, Nothing Last's Forever, Purple, Poppa Was A Playa...shyt I could go on...
Purple though for me it is. Beautiful music accompanied by great lyricism. I've always wanted to hear more from the producer Hill Inc.

According to Discogs Hill, Inc (Tommie Spearman) only has six production credits. Two are on Stillmatic (Purple, Black Zombie). One is on a personal classic by Large Professor (1st Class).

Doo Rags is one of my all time favorite Nas songs, but I went with Drunk By Myself because of how much I relate to it.
something about the intro and first verse to Nothing lasts forever never gets old to me, so that was my vote.
When lost tapes first came out, and for the first couple years after it came out, purple, black zombies and blaze a 50 were my favorite tracks.

This was supposed to be on I Am but didn't show up on Lost Tapes. One of my all-time favorite Nas joints. shyt's better than a lot of rapper's careers:
