am I lying?

Fixed

 

[kes929]

Illmatic and It was Written are perfect albums in my opinion. I am is a great album, I only have 3 misses on that album for me personally. The highs on I am are legendary.

 

[semicko82]

One of the few albums that when I’m buzzed it enhances the listening experience even more.

Nas on IWW is probably the best display of rapping I have heard…only thing coming close was Prodigy on HOE

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

I got no game, its just that some bytches understand my story

[KnowledgeOfSelf17]

This album embodies everything

Stories
Skills
Catchy tunes

All 3 perfect measures of a classic

 

[Figaro]

His moms had a stare I wouldn't dare second look when I murk
It hurt, kinda took it as a brief reminder
That the street's designed to stop ya life clock, the beast'll time ya

 

[HNIC973]

Life Was Written, the plot curves behind the settin'
Comprehend the grammar, math we own
Are you the type of nikka to shoot a leg to get your name known?
I flip the brain tone, nikkas get hit and wrapped in plastic
The mic I strike in vain, givin' the pain of what a MAC is
What you wit'? Lucci or drama?
No sleep means insomnia
No need to check the clock, the streets'll time ya


It justifies, Nas Escobar's leavin' shyt mesmerized
Mega live like the third world
Decipher my deceiver, make him a believer
Spittin' Gem Stars words in my mic type receiver
Bond is my life, so I live by my word
Never fraudulent, Queensbridge don't make no herbs
Spread my name to deacons, politicians while they speakin'
Rebel to America civilization, caught you sleepin'
Suspect his most underrated that shyt is next level

 

[head shots101]

I remember this album like it was yesterday

 

[kes929]

Nas went to a different planet on this song

 

[HNIC973]

Nas went to a different planet on this song

I'm saying this if a nikka want to do a B- side Verzus against him they'll get embarrassed. Nobody is touching him on those type of records IDGAF who it is

 

[Big Dick]

Best rap album I’ve ever heard. Nas was other worldly on this.
