I love Nobody, but anyone else feel like the "You got your own place/favorite part of the night was you made it home safe" part in the second verse was a little odd...

Like it literally came out of nowhere. Maybe I'm missing something...

"Watch Casino, I'm the Hip Hop Version of Nicky Tarantino, Ask Nino, He Know" - Big

"Levels of Tarantino, Curbin' my ego, even though he know, Empty glass of Pinot, cigars and casinos" - NaS


I loved this homage, he did it very slick. NaS has done a great job paying homage to Big over the years. Like you said, he also mentions "Your Nobody till Somebody Kills You" and "Mo Money Mo Problems". While also saying he's studying "Big and Nietzsche" who was a Legendary Philosopher and writer. Between "Rare" and "DRE" NaS brought me back with those homages to Big and Pac.

Nas pays homage to BIG, at the same time making the bars better! Nas lyrics better than BIGs, Biggie delivery probably better (it's all debatable tho)

Nas' verses are about wanting to go missing and being at peace with that, enough to call nowhere home. After talking about marriage, the woman vanishes from his sight, but her safety alone is the same kind of place he wants to be. As for "coming out of nowhere", it's all presented like stream of consciousness, not just those lines.

I think this run is better. Only because Store Run Moments Nobody are all better than Bye Baby:whew:

Bye Baby is one song where I feel like his flow is a lil off. But it doesn’t seem like it’s his issue. It feels like an engineering issue where the vocals somehow got pushed a couple milliseconds back by mistake.
