    The hook was just as catchy as anything popping in them days (Big Poppa, CREAM, How High Gin & Juice etc)

    Im going to chalk that up to needing a dictionary to keep up with the verses

    Timeless Song

    Pete Rock adlibs on the hook is one of my favorite parts on the whole album.

    Nas wasn't as easily marketable to the pop-loving masses like Biggie or Snoop.

    If you knew how cap illmatic's impact was, you'd understand. Nas wasn't a big deal in 94'.
    Album was average. Got 5 mics by some asian chic, in a bias magazine.
    But in real life, meant nothing
