fukk...
I think if you take
The Message
I Gave You Power
Take It In Blood
Affirmative Action
Suspect
Shootouts
Silent Murder
And throw em on a CD, release it in 1996
You'd have a fukking Top 1 undisputed classic. That shyt would be like raps Holy Grail. Unfukkwitable. fukk it, you can even take Affirmative Action off and still smack any muhfukka in the head wit a track list that solid. One of the main reasons IWW is one of my PERSONAL Top 3 Hip-Hop albums of all time. Imagine if those were the only tracks on IWW though.![]()

How can you leave this off?
nas watch dem nikkas - YouTube
That second verse
Now how can I perfect this
Living reckless, die for my necklace
Crime infected, driving a Lexus with a death wish
Jetting, checking my message on the speaker
Bopping to Mona Lisa brown reefer, ten G's, gun and my Visa
CD cranking, doing ninety on the Franklin-D-Roosevelt
No seat belt, drinking and thinking
My man caught a bad one son, nikkas is frightened
Secret indictments, as on to one seeking enlightment
damn 96 was ill. Biggie was not fukking with Nas. not even close.

NaS was and always will be special.. But BiG was on another level
Lyrically they're equals..but hip hop has always been more than putting words together
Big was simply more entertaining.
I always found the imagery of the Irish cop hilarious for some reason.
It's slow, lookin for Rambo, the cop who got grazed
Back in the days, chasin nikkaz through my project maze
That cop he got a death wish
He run behind nikkaz until you breathless
Everyday he makin ten arrests, sheeit
I always imagined this nikka lookin like the t-1000 on some![]()
...and nikkas in baggy jeans and timbs runnin 10 blocks with they lungs burnin tawmbout "can a nikka get a breather, damn!!"![]()
the way he said that line right there![]()
