Nikkas grew up faster back in the crack era. You listen to Pac, he sounds like a grown ass man, somebody in his 30s or somethin, authority in his voice, you could tell he was completely aware of the world around him. You'd never know he was 21, 22 years old. A college student basically.



You listen to somebody like J. Cole, who was 22 around when this song dropped and he sounds like it.

The chorus of that track couldn't be better.

Eric Williams sung his ass off in that shyt... Then you got the bobby caldwell sample:ohhh:
That song has everything for me dawg. The chorus, the beat, the spitting on that shyt yo. I can relate to it in a way too, I actually fukk with that whole album after I deleted some of the filler. Cut it down to one disc and this is a personal classic to me:ohlawd:

"Still I rise" OG is his best song. His verse :to:

That sample:banderas:...its crazy musicians could actually hear themselves play that little portion of the song and move on to some other shyt like they didn't just hear theyself play that piece of the song:mindblown:...I know producers probably don't deserve that much credit for taking samples,but in the actual song its like :4 seconds worth of song....to recognize those :4 seconds will equal a classic,timeless hiphop beat:blessed:...I think takes a little genius too,whos more of a genius the guy who played the :4 second piece and kept it movin or the hiphop producer who heard the genius and sampled it:mjpls:



u can listen to the sample at the bottom its at the very beginning
