Nas on the Cover of Ebony + Excerpt of Ebony's Power 100

[Rapmastermind]

Criticize when I flow for the streets, hate my dress code
Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect hoe?
Nickname Esco', took this game to its threshold
Best flow I bet the whole U.S. know
Try to make it like you the realest, but who the illest?
Think we all know the answer to that, cause nikkas feel this right


Proud fan of 25 years. NaS has 10+ albums of unreleased material better than 95% of rap being released today.

It's sort of like the conclusion, the color purple
nikkas is losing, confusion, with one time on pursuit moves in
Grabbing nikkas up in this movement to rule shyt
Cop verses the block, shorties is too quick
Lesson number one. If you're arrested and hung
Where nikkas is from gotta keep a lid on your tongue
It's like silent murder, I hit blunts hard like Ray Mercer
the violent words of a prince in a palace of Persia.
The cognac plurger plus the trees,
but whose the foul one to make his nose take a freeze,
and got enough gall to rock ice in all hype.
Used to be a general but just lost his stripe
Pipe dreams and white feinds and all-nighters, collect calls from lifers
Astoria wars with cypress, since I got a problem with the law-writers,
I kick some more items just to explore horizons,
the palm lady dreamt of this day so I'ma play,
the crib close smokin' with the big toast and lay

Jeeps, Tahoe, shoes be Salvatore Ferragamo
Catch a homo, guns long like Mutombo

Who else was rapping about Ferragamo in 97?


I pull a string on the lamp and shyt darkens
I'm living in an elegant Moroccan apartment
Proletarian chicks sparking
Convo weak and I don't really care for her jargon
Balcony is windy
Looking at the stars and
I be on the Henny, woozy in the head, wobbling
Gucci pillow on the bed, while she giving noggin
Listening and tripping off the Maxwell album
Thinking I should leave to a European island
Bristol and Spain, bring a book about Stalin
Dinner serenaded with a violin
But shorty not qualified to be took to that kind of outing
Gotta be a fly bytch to hang around that fly shyt
Fine dining Olive Garden
Nah bytch, Nas is In the real deal
Food spots on the constant
Pick the right wine, a Chianti to wash it
Lifestyle encompasses top-notch watches
Rolexes synonymous shyt I'm copping


Dripping

These hypebeast rappers and their fans wouldn't know anything about this
