I'm not a die hard fan but I totally disagree. Undying love is a great track but in the same vein as biggies I got a story to tell. People always bring that track up when talking about his story telling tracks but I don't think it's his best

I'm gonna make a poll about one love vs undying love

Look at this fakket intelectual reciprocal as always trying to shyt on Illmatic, One Love is one of greatest tracks in hip hop history, Illmatic is a classic and one of the greatest albums ever if not the best your shytty ass opinion can't change shyt you fat fukk. :mjlol:

It probably hurt your soul to hear Nas performed the song with Q-Tip late night on Fallon, it probably hurt to see Nas release a critically acclaimed documentary about his album and tour the world 20 years later. :ahh:

I thought I Am... Was dope it had some tracks I wasn't feeling but Nas Is Like is an All-Time classic, NY State of Mind Pt. II was a dope sequel to a classic song, I thought Nas hitting the double time flow on Big Things was dope, Undying Love is an amazing song, Hate Me Now is a classic, Life is What You Make It with DMX, the track with Aaliyah, the track with Face all dope. I like that album more than Vol. 2 and 3 by Hov.

1991-1994: Nasty Nas | Illmatic, features like Back To The Grill Again, Live at the BBQ and pre-Illmatic demos
1995-1997: Nas Escobar | It Was Written, The Firm, features on mafioso albums such as Rae's and Kool G Rap
1998-2000: Nastradamus | I Am... and Nastradamus, Hot Boyz Remix, successful and unsuccessful commercialized efforts
2000-2002: Ether Nas | QB's Finest, Stillmatic, God's Son, The Lost Tapes, Nas bounces back from Nastradamus releases nice little Queensbridge compilation, three straight critically acclaimed projects his two albums go multi-Plat, beefs with Jay-Z, Cormega, Prodigy, Noreaga, Hot 97
2004-2008: Controversial Nas | Street's Disciple, Hip Hop is Dead, Untitled | more politicized efforts, more conscious records, beefs with Bill O'Reilly
2010-present: Grown Man Nas | Distant Relatives and Life is Good, Nas is on to more mature subjects in music pro-black, talks about aging, his divorce, life in general, his wealth, his career

Nas never fell off to me the only projects of his I don't spin are Nastradamus outside of a few tracks and Street's Disciple is a bit bland.

Nas is great no doubt but damn has anyone's career been fukked up more by stupid decisions? First the chase for mainstream appeal with IWW. The album is dope but I would have preferred the original direction, which gave us Deja Vu. But ok fine, Nas works with Trackmasters...why not balance it with more Premo, Tip and Pete Rock? That alone would have made it a better album. Tip told the Trackmasters they were fukking up Nas' career. I won't to that far but the disappointment is still there.

Then I Am leaks due to Nas handing out his music to DJs. He scraps what would have been a dope album and instead we get half dope shyt half wack shyt.

Then he dropped Nastradamus. Nothing much else to say, Nas dropped Nastradamus.

If Nas had released a more balanced IWW, the original I Am and thus didn't release Nastradamus no one would claim he fell off. Jay wouldn't have had any opening to attack him in 2000/2001.

Top 10 Nas song



That chorus:wow:

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
nikka you reap what you sew
What goes around, comes around
If you sleep you don't know
A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")
where beef could never end
At the time you least expect it
I'm gonna see you again
It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
You get away with it now
Soon enough it catches up to you
Someway, somehow
Yo it's a small world
Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")

NaS is in a good place now. Music career is legendary and hit is still relevant and potent. His business ventures shows his growth and thirst to get more out of the music game.

People say he fell off withNastradamus, which I don't agree, but he made a resounding comeback with Stillmaric and has been winning ever since. In comparison, JayZ fell off with BP3 and hasn't rebounded. Jay Z is a business man now so quit rappin
