As a writing exercise when I was younger I did my own version of rewind and that backward sentence shyt is hard to do and make it rhyme. Nas did that shyt effortlessly. Yea the story is simple but to make a complex narrative rhyme and with all the descriptions of things moving backwards.... cats never satisfied
How long it took for him to write it?

U got this retard in here who don’t even write rhymes talkin bout it’s easy. Anybody who is a lyricist would say the shyt is difficult. shyt Lupe was just recently praising what Nas did on that shyt.

Hahaha, I was young bro! I thought it would be like "Small World", not told backwards, in terms of bullets going back in guns, but starting at the end, similar to Blaze a 50.

"Manhattan federal jail, no better than hell, heroin in his veins, hate in his heart/he was doomed from the start
groomed for the part, ki's in his mans trunk, moved smart"


Some epic crime drama, with back stories and intricate details, not just a literal backwards songs.

This.

Breh, think it's easy because of the story. He ain't even considering that it rhymes, makes sense (even with the syntax of the sentences being backwards), all while maintaining a flow and a rhythm.

Plenty times we found out how long it took to make records. Case in point Hov did BK finest in one day while it took biggie almost a month
How the fukk are u asking SOMEONE ELSE how long it took for Nas to write a song? The only reason u know about those is because they were addressed years later. Matter fact the whole story was lied about for years as well. The real story of the session came out only a few years ago.

The jury still out on that

haven’t heard a good explanation yet
“Who left she came back, her clothes just fell to the rug..”
she had her clothes on when she left. It went in reverse so she came back in the house and her clothes came off. She performed the sex acts in reverse and it was rewinding up until she took her clothes off for the first time.

The story in real time goes. Shorty came to his crib. Told him she stressed. Took her clothes off. Started suckin him off. Told him to kiss her. He told her hell no. After he nutted she got up and put her clothes on and left.
