Rewind is more creative as far as concept...but Undying Love is cinematic brehs. I prefer Undying Love. I can close my eyes and 'watch' it so to speak.

He pulls me in from the get go. Who can paint a better picture of Vegas?

Prodigy has told stories as good as Nas. Maybe better.


Actually, yes, much better.

a lot of people try to put prodigy up with nas in general when it's not that close when you compare them at their best. p just had a dope voice. prodigy's only kicked like a few stories brah. i guess prodigy thinking he might get set up and running from a tinted car is great story telling but nas schooling a young youth too the streets is "dull".

Drink Away The Pain is what I was thinking of. Great story.



I can't think of one Nas story that would be considered a classic to the layman rap listener.


Maybe to us elite fans (aside from myself) but not a casual everyday cat.

LOL at going pages over this sh*t. Do you ppl enjoy arguing for no reason?

This nikka Big Mel said Nas isn't a great storyteller because he isn't ''funny'' :laugh:. It should've been a wrap for his opinion after that. You're actually entertaining this shyt?

drink away the pain was a dope CONCEPT and a classic song, but the story telling was ok at best. great because of his delivery and havocs instrumental.

i think q-tip did that joint anyway

Whatever you need say to qualify it. It's a great story and more of a classic than any Nas story.

we don't believe you need more people. lol

you think a layman rap listener would list drink away the pain as a classic story? LOL
