Kool G Rap & Nas "Fast Life" vs Nas & AZ "Life's a bytch"

[NYC Rebel]

I don't think the Fast Life collab gets enough love compared to Life's a bytch.

Vote

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

Life's a bytch, it just feels more timeless

Fast Life is a great song, classic even, but just the beat alone on LAB trumps it.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

AZ's verse on Life's a bytch > *

But song for song...."Brother, you got to make it happen, yeah, get this money, yea"

 

[ManBearPig]

The way Nas murked kool g Rap

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Life's A bytch because it's a timeless arguably top 10 or top 15 song of all time.

I think a better comparison would Fast Life and Mo Money Mo Murder Mo Homocide.

 

[HendriX]

Nas & AZ breh

The way Nas murked kool g Rap

nikka you can get ALL the fukk the way outta here with this


Champagne wishes of caviar dreams of peanuts, gettin cream
With sales of fish scales from triple beams I gleam
Livin’ the life of Riley packin' fifty calis
Rockin lizard Bally's while we do our drug deal in a dark alley
Up in casinos just me and my dino primo
Pushin beam-o's then parlay in Reno with two fly latinos
Nas, he runs the whole staff, we count mad for seen bad
We've seen Half a Mill he dashin out there on the Queens half
Three major players gettin papers by the layers
And those that betray us on the block get rocked like Amadeus
Fakers get used to shootin targets, soon as the dark hits
Front on the drug market, bodies get rolled up in a carpet
Those that cheat us try to beat us we got hookers with heaters
that'll stray pop and put more shells in your top than Adidas
Da leaders, lookin straight crimy in our Giorgio Armani's
You wanna harm me and Nas you gots ta come get through a whole army
The cee-lo rollers, money folders, sippin' Bolla, holdin mad payola
Slangin a Coke without the Cola
Me and black don't fake jacks but we might sling one
It ain't no shame in our game we do our thing son

Or Life's a bytch vs Brooklyn's Finest

Brooklyn's Finest is very dope, but it ain't on Life's A bytch's level imo.

Nah breh, he got outclassed.

I had to vote for Life's A bytch because Fast Life aint even fair

But song for song...."Brother, you got to make it happen, yeah, get this money, yea"

went with fast life as well

Livin the fast life, in fast cars
Everywhere we go, people know who we are
A team from out of Queens with the American Dream
So we're plottin up a scheme to get the seven figure cream


plus they went back and forth.

Life's a bytch has everything going in it's favor...it's a standout track on one of the most heralded hip hop albums of all time...serves as AZ's debut to the game.. has an iconic chorus, one of those ones that has transcended from just being the hook to a song into something approaching an unofficial mantra for the genre and the culture...the whole nine

And yet I still voted for Fast Life ...I dig the fukk outta that flip of Surface's Happy and it's one of the earlier appearances from my favorite incarnation of Nas, Escobar ...as stand alone songs I find myself randomly playing Fast Life way more...and the video pushes it over the top for comedic reasons

 

[Piff Perkins]

Life's A bytch. No hate but I never really liked the Fast Life beat, just sounds too glitzy and corny. Wish I could find a dope remix because Nas and G Rap sound great on the track.
