Spin: What would you say is Nas' best song ever?

[waynep]

I gave u power

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

NY state of mind

without question and what makes it even better than ever is hearing Nas go “I don’t know how to start this” and premier freaking out a little cuz the beat about to drop and hearing him in the background going “now” and all you hear is




“Rappers I monkey flipping with the type of rhythms I be kicking”

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Should change it to outside of Illmatic, cuz that has 4 or 5 songs that can legit be argued as the greatest song in hip hop history.

But its impossible to say, i'll go with Purple, I Gave You Power, We Will Survive or 2nd Child Hood

 

[InstantKlassik]

I Gave You Power
U Gotta Love It

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

What Goes Around

Most underrated NaS song ever. My favorite song off Stillmatic

Rewind

 

[CrushedGroove]

Or
The World Is Yours

As a Jay fan, one mic. When ever that song would come on BET, for that brief moment, I was a Nas Stan.

Why did you start off with “as a jay fan” as if you cant like both

If i rule the world. I know most disagree but the energy that songs gives you, lauryn singing and hook, lyrics. And its timeless and doesnt sound dated.

Yep it’s a timeless song, and fits the mode of both conscious and commercially viable, very few hip hop songs have managed to get that blend right in the history of this genre, very hard thing to do, Tupac mastered this art.

Surviving the times is underrated.

 

[DontEemTry]

"Black Girl Lost"
