Is there a more Powerful song in Hip-Hop than 'Just a Moment' by Nas?

[KravenMorehead™]

As day comes and night falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn while wishin' y'all were home

 

[Marco Andretti]

Very high key....

The I know i can song had waaaaay more juice behind it ..

Little kids everywhere were tryna be somebody ..

Probably plenty more than are if we're talking Hip Hop as a whole

But the song is nice. Had a lot of play in the UK when it came out as a single Spring '05

I've heard 3 versions of it. The original Quan version, the album version and then there was one with an extra long Nas verse which I think was on one of the J Love or Dirty Harry mixtapes in the fall of 2005, the one where he shouts out Havoc's brother who passed away

You mean outside of every song...nay, bar...nay, adlib ever spit by the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd?

And every earbleed causing sonic abomination by these infinitely inferior rappers not named the GOAT our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd?

And every sound ever emitted in the history of the universe whether musical in nature or otherwise?

Yea it definitely holds the crown in that context....desparate delusional dikksucking stans of Lost aka Diet Rakim Lite Zero aka c00nsir aka Nasir Jonesing-to-be-one-billionth-as-talented-as-Hov aka Lostradamus aka the Duke of L'sington aka Destiny's abortion sponsor aka Carmen's babyseat Camel juice janitor aka Kelis alimony victim aka ELLen DeGenerous-with-allowing-L's-in-his-presence aka the Gordon Gecko of L's acquisitions aka the Last L'sbender lost

[DontEemTry]

All I know is that Quan had the GOAT hand movements in that video

 

[Easy-E]
