Maybe I'm bugging and this is a reach, but I swear the three repeating notes of the bassline on 10 Points are a nod to the Illmatic intro (The Genesis). Follow and check it out and tell me if I'm bugging, lol. The part I'm talking is the sample that starts around 30 seconds when AZ starts talking and it repeats every 8 bars. The first couple bars repeat every four but the last couple are different. It's bars 5-8 of this sequence that the 10 Points bassline kind of follows, the three notes that it hangs on for a moment. Bars 7 and 8 of the sequence repeat the same note, like the repeating note on bars 3 and 4 of 10 Points.
If this seems like a reach just listen to that part of The Genesis, hum it to yourself. Then hum that same part while listening to 10 Points and follow the bassline. Maybe I'm just wrong, but it sounds like pretty much the same notes to me.
Plus 10 Points could be an entendre referring the 10 tracks of Illmatic?
Give it a listen before you say I'm crazy, lol. If you think I'm bugging so be it.

.. Even the songs about females are fire, they're not just formulaic girl records. Only things i dont love about this album is Cormega's verse (He still sounds like a novice rapping, imo) and the Fivio kid's verse (Ferg did his thing tho).
nah breh.
