Top 5 hip hop song of 2000s by solo artist 
Nas - "Made You Look"
- Thread starter Arithmetic
- Start date
The way he goes off at the end with no beat
Always amazes me how Nas drops street music as his singles. He might actually have a song on the album that could potentially do well via radio at least back then, but he'd drop a street joint with a video at that.

This was Nas’ last real club banger!!!! I’ll never forget how one of my homies ducked when the gunshot went off at the beginning of the song!!!!!

Nas really ain't supposed to be as commercially successful as he is today, outside of a single or two he never really tried to reach the pop crowd
breh kinda got lucky, one of the rare instances where someone actually reaps rewards simply for being talented

Classic.
Thats always been his strategy since I Am. Drop the “street” single (Nas Is Like, Got Yourself A Gun, Made You Look, Thiefs Theme, Hip Hop Is Dead, Be A ****** Too, Nasty) followed by the proper “mainstream” single (Hate Me Now, One Mic, I Can, Bridging The Gap, Hero, Daughters/Cherry Wine)
