Remember what is was like when "Nas Is Like" dropped?

[Soymuscle Mike]

Song is TOO ill.

It got me mad though because this was around the time I had thoughts of being a rapper myself, I was writing down shyt and myself.

Then Nas dropped this and I was

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

I caught the motherfukkin' holy ghost when I first heard that song

"A baby being born the same time a man is murdered, the beginning and end, as far as rap goes its only natural I explain my plateau's and also what defines my name"



Nasir Bin Olu Dara fistful of dollars in the ice game GOD

It's dice game actually

 

[Trajan]

Nas is like earth, wind and fire,
rims and tires Bulletproof glass, inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit, line 'em up with the stars
Tarot cards, you can see the pharaoh Nas
Nas is like Iron Mike, messiah type
Before the Christ, after the death
The last one left, let my cash invest in stock
Came a along way from blastin', techs on blocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin' acres
From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
Dimes, givin' fellatio, siete zeros Bet my nine spit for the pesos

 

[OG Talk]

"Nas is like" is the art of rap taken to its fullest potential, its one of the greatest rap songs of all time

^^^^^^

 

[street heat]

Man I couldn't get over that beat, I pretty much thought it was the greatest music I'd ever heard.

The ill part is how he flips it, first you're in baller mode like , then he continues:

"What is it all worth, can't really take it with you under this earth
Rich man died and tried, but none of it worked
They'll just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid" and you're

I first heard it in 2009 when I was on my underground shyt but damn that song was amazing.

Before my number's called, history's made
Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is

shyt was technically PERFECT

every word fit in

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

that beat with that flow.... jesus

people had that on repeat for the whole year around me, one of the most perfect songs ever. watching that video premier had nikkaz feeling like just witnessed greatness personified. I'm glad I lived thru that era.

It's like someone said, rappers used to fear when nas was about to drop because shyt would have everyone else looking at their raps like and hitting the pad hard!
