We're on the blood path now
Dropped Junior year in high school. An incredible drop that had everyone buzzing. Really reignited battle rap
How was it when it dropped?
Are you from NYC?
Anyone from NYC here when it dropped?
In Toronto I didn't realize the impact. No summer jam, hot 97.
I just loved stillmatic for what it was.
Later on I understood.
And hearing the track fukked my head up. After I learned more of the influence of Jay.
Powerful. Hip hop. Nas' beginning of a new life in his career for real.

I was in Philly
Power 99 played it every hour and got ppl's reactions in real time...no one could believe he went at Jigga's neck like that
Philly is a Rocafella city & likely was Jigga's 2nd biggest market outside of NYC metro...I just remember ppl being stunned when they heard it, complete shock that Nas undressed Jigga in such a vulgar way
It was the #1 topic for months & months every single day
I'm mad that I didn't have that kay slay mixtape on Thanksgiving that had it first
Nas recaptured the throne...Manz was relevant musically during my elementary, junior high, hs, college and adult yrs...but that Stillmatic era is my fav era of Nas
