Take It In Blood by Nas or D'Evils by Jay

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

D'Evils for sure


We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew, and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was shytty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
So I kept feeding her money 'til her shyt started to make sense
Who could ever forsee, we used to stay up all night at slumber parties
now I'm trying to rock this bytch to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears, know she's wishing we were still close
Don't cry, it is to be
In time, I'll take away your miseries and make 'em mine, D'Evils...

 

[ManBearPig]

d'evils is better.

Take it Blood is dope but its clearly not d'evils

 

[Animal House]

Nas got that

 

[the cac mamba]

cracked out pussies and buttholes

This thread could be "Who would win a fight in their prime: Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson or Nas?" and Nas would win on this board.

Their hands to short to box with the God.

fukk outta here with this mess.

 

[Dat Migo]

Why shoot the breeze about it when you can be about it

 

[AAKing23]

Both classics but Take it in Blood was just on some other shyt That may be the single best written song in HipHop history in terms of how he sequenced the words and verses together, fukking flawless



The first verse is just on some all in one

 

[Omerta]

Nas' track is amazing, but D'Evils wins this for me.

It's my fav Hov track.

 

[Prae]

I like D'Evils better. That chorus is so dope. So many memorable lines to me.

Whoever said illegal was the easy way out, couldn't understand
The mechanics and the workings of the underworld, granted
Nine to five is how to survive, I ain't trying to survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot

I used to say fukk mic skills, I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti

We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing

She said the taste of dollars was shytty so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
I kept feeding her money 'til her shyt started to make sense

Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fukking life
So now I'm down for whatever ain't nothing nice

 

[Poitier]

I think lyrically D'Evils is better but that's where it stops.

There are few times in Rap history where an MC bounced around the track, floated on the track so naturally. D'Evils is a dope song and Primo laced Jay but as far as rapping

 

[Master Teacher]

d'evil's easily, "even if jehova witness bet he never testify"
Nas got shyt way better than take it in blood

 

[kermit da hustla]

the beat for take it in blood is just much better.
