"Rewind or Undying Love"

[Big Mel]

I've seen them recite it word for word with my own two eyes.

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

"I walked in through the back door entrance
Shocked it was unlocked, when I walked in, I smelled incense
chased by a weed aroma, empty Guinnesses
and lipstick marks on like three empty Coronas
A pair of blue jeans on the carpet; size 12 Timberlands
Somethin swingin on the ceilin fan, I stopped it
Swingin slower and slower..
On the last swing I saw it was a G-string and heard laughin
Thought about my nine-side Glock but somethin made me disregard it
Started my way up to where the noise and music was at
Froze, I couldn't react
Bedroom door opened a crack, seen wifey layin with some nikka
mumblin shyt, he had one hand on her ass
and she was rubbin his dikk, toastin wine glasses
Cherry scented candles was lit, couldn't handle the shyt
Searchin for words I found none, without a sound
I left the house with a sick smile and took my gun
Now I'm out buggin, whylin, what I'm gon do?
Call my man Horse, meet me outside, I'm comin through"

Why don't we all just ignore him? I mean seriously it makes 0 sense debating with someone like that

SMH at this scorned I'm taking my ball and going home ass loser. Toughen up weirdo.

like nikkas can't do that one love and other nas stories? stop it brah. the world is bigger than your own 2 eyes and ears.

on top of that, you can't even explain why it's better. in terms of imagery and sequence and it's not close. you "like it better" would be a better choice of words, it's not more classic at all.

Undying Love but I can see how someone would say Rewind

But one love isn't a story.

 

[Kid-Wave]

Undying Love all day....

 

[JayBaldacci]

But one love isn't a story.

drink away the pain isn't either by your standards. well the standards you judge nas by, idk how you judge other rappers who aren't nas.

you're right it's not, one love is 3 different stories, 2 being in letter form and one being cinematic.

 

[Big Mel]

letters aren't stories. one love is a classic record. it isn't a classic story.


and i don't think Prodigy is a great storyteller but he's got stories as good as Nas'.

the way nas kicked it in those letters was story telling though, and the third verse definitely is.

prodigy's best story is better than nas' worst one(shoot em up was wack), but story for story nas blows p out the water.

you just kinda say your opinion and don't explain anything. where was no humor or suspense in the "drink away the pain" verse from P. on top of that, q-tip came away with the best verse(though off topic).

 

[Big Mel]

i explained why IMO Nas isn't great stressing lack of suspense and humor with a tendency to just narrate linearly.


One Love is a btter song than P's best story but not a true story and Nighttime Vultures or Everyday Gunplay can go against or beat Nas' IMO.


especially the verse about robbing people at the coliseum on gunplay as it's more relatable to my existense than some outlandish tale like Blaze a 50 where he's making football players wives snort crushed glass in elaborate murder schemes.

 

[Big Mel]

the entire premise of drink away the pain is funny. liquors as women? absurd and funny.

yes..HILARIOUS...

 

[Big Mel]

It's at least entertaining and besides the norm. Makes it a fun drinking song.

nightmare vultures? lol

the song where he tells a story for 8 bars and then just starts to bragadoccio rap?(like nas did on suspect). funny how you say one love isn't true story telling but a song with 8 bars on topic of story is. you don't explain your points "well" i should say.

so schooling a youth to the ills of the streets doesn't make for a good story but robbing people at the coliseum does. nice. you're extremely bias. drink away the pain isn't funny by any means.

relatable and better are 2 different things breh. i doubt you've ever fukked a ballers wife than pretended to rob her when he came back home, but you like that one.
