nah, I'm saying it sounds like a reference track. Nas is using Jay's cadences, or trying to, which results in his falling off beat as the song Progresses
Falling off beat? nikka there wasn't any drums and the piano loop was off beat. Next time speak on shyt you know about. Go find the instrumental n try to rap to it, you're gonna be off beat. It doesn't take a rapper or producer to realize this.
