Almost all of Nas's catalog, outside of maybe Illmatic, doesn't sound defined by a time period or dated at all to me.

When you're not riding waves and trends and trying to sound like whatever's currently hot at the time that's one of the benefits I guess.

Of course, but out of that body of work you still have your most favorites. I know it’s hard to make a choice, but if you have to decide as if your life depends on it you’ll end up with the final few. Even within waves and trends there still songs that are timeless.


Such as is the case with Ice T:

You played yourself




High rollers (remix)




Gotta Lot of Love




Mind over matter




Soul on ice
