Most Underrated Track On Illmatic...

[IllmaticDelta]

One Time was a freestyle..

 

[The_Third_Man]

I LOVE that song

hearing it on NBA 2K16

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

hearing it on NBA 2K16

I hate hearing it on 2k....half the damn track is censored.

 

[the cac mamba]

"represent" gets overlooked sometimes too.

i wish that the song hit harder. it sounds so fukkin weak and low quality, and its such a dope fukkin song but i feel like if it was remastered/sounded like some shyt off 2001, would just be absolutely

 

[mobbinfms]

It's the worst song on the album

I've never talked to anyone in real life who didn't feel this way

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

One Time was a freestyle..

exactly. to me this track is kinda like an interlude freestyle. but I like it because it has a chill vibe. Nas flowed different from the other tracks. super slow but with not one slip up.

that track prevented illmatic to be a best of kind of album. you can't have an album full of Billie jeans.

it's really the weaker track on illmatic but only by default

 

[T.he I.nformant]

It's the worst song on the album

But it is still the worst track on the album. Very solid though.

Y'all sleep. I ain't judging because I was asleep to. I'm woke now, though, nikkas. I pray y'all get your wake up call too. If it's any help, @SirBiatch co-signs it's greatness so you know it's real.

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

Love this song.

The parlayer I make ya heads bop pa, I shine a light on perpetrators like a cop car

From Day 1...the album from first to last has been pure HEAT

Over the 20 years since I've had it, I always go through a period where one song is my favorite..this one included

 

[IllmaticDelta]

the jazzy bassline is

 

[Metal Face]

Always liked One Time, It's probably my 3rd most played on the album after Represent and NY State of Mind.

 

[ThatTruth777]

I always fukked with it, that line in the very first verse talking about rooting for the villain gets me into it everytime

 

[Broke Wave]

I instantly knew what you were gonna say when I read the thread title. I dont even think its the worst song or that there is a best song I think all the songs flow toghether nicely and Illmatic needed One Time for your Mind

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Was there a 3rd verse to that song? Sounded like they were talking as the track faded out and Nas was about to spit again

That would have been too much

 

[T.he I.nformant]

the jazzy bassline is

That shyt is intoxicating
