Nas- You're Da Man Appreciation

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Classic song from a classic album.

What makes this song even more special is the sample of Rodriguez's "Sugar Man" that was used in this song He lived in poverty in Detroit for years making music, unaware that his records were being sold in South Africa and other countries. There's actually a documentary about it called "Searching For Sugar Man" that I recommend that you check out.

The General, This and One Mic were the 1st songs I heard from the up and coming "STILLmatic" back in 2001. Had the dogs barking and everything. Love the Jay subliminals. The song was actually recorded during the I am/NaStradamus era that's why it had that Escobar feel to it. Probably my favorite song from the album. It's between This, One Mic, Every Ghetto, Ether and The Intro.
