Nas Street Dreams Remix Appreciation

[KiD WavE]

forgive my ignorance but did they both get played on the radio ? or did only one version ? listening to IWW over the years Ive heard the other version many more times but I like this one better

 

[NigerianDonDada]

one of my fav Nas songs

 

[No Homo]

one of my fav nas tracks ever since the day i first heard it..severley underrated

 

[C-Styles]

Greatest Remix ever, hands down!

 

[Sound (∀√a) Maths]

Nas at his finest here. Great track, classic.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

When Nas is on point he is undisputed goat. Ilmatic set the but his flows and rhymes on IWW are just immaculate

This song is so damn smooth and flow so effortless. Not a forced bar.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Better

Hell no so damn off

 

[MufasaChoppa]

Any old heads can tell me what's this one, is it the first version?

The flow and multis

forgot about this, i used to play this on repeat, damn i miss the old days....i had this on an old mix tape

love that hook...whos the singer

I always preferred the regular version more.

the great thing is that it's 2 100% different songs. The regular version is more from the viewpoint of a current street cat, and the remix is more from a dude who's reflecting.

the fact that some can't see why the PR remix eclipses the other versions is just.....

We're from a different era. truly.

lol....well some of us like our songs to be IN KEY and ON BEAT. Of which that is neither and for me that song is unlistenable.

Pete Rock is an all-time great tho.

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. He wore a disguise, put a gun to me. Hungry he went on to chastise
