Was Nas on that Lance Armstrong when he wrote No Ideas Original?

[the rhyme king]

And this was goin on in every New York ghetto
Kids listened, Five Percenters said it's pork and Jell-o

nas is the master of multisyllable rhyme schemes

I know this wasn't on Lost Tapes, but how dope was Street's Disciple? With Pops killing it.

Another brilliantly executed Nas thread

 

[Wild self]

Lost Tapes is the album that most rappers want in their catalog.

I said it in the other SD thread, this is his best song of the 2000's. So underrated.

I wish i could have been a fly on the wall when he made No Idea's Original.

@ this thread


Nas still impresses me to this day with this masterpiece, everytime I listen to it I catch some shyt I miseed before, be havin me with the face every time




"Somebody's always watchin, my life
Before I, walk out the door I size up every option
Eyes cut every direction, it's like God or guns
Which is better protection? Can't decide, that's a hard one
I mean they wanna see me in prison, the chains bamboozled
Headline readin "Rapper Slain From a Man Shootin"



shyt had me questioning my own safety

 

[Ineedmoney504]

classic

 

[AkaDemiK]

"From, Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
Them, treacherous rocksters in the Mexican mafias"

dude was def on that lance armstrong

My Fav Line

 

[Black Roses]

 

[flipn50]

You scared to be yourself, cause you in a trance
Feel free, hear the music and dance
If you cared what they think, why wear what they wear, just for you
Dumb nikkaz with long beards like they Arabs or Jews
or from Israel, (?)bish'meal Allah, el-rachman, el-Rahim (?)
Islam's a beautiful thing
And Christian and Rastafari, helps us to bring
peace against the darkness, which is unGodly
So what's the black man's true religion, who should we follow?
Use your own intuition, you are tommorrow
[roaring] .. that's the sound of the beast
I'm a Columbia record slave, so get paid
Control your own destiny, you are a genius
Don't let it happen to you like it did to me, I was a black zombie

Admitting his own shortcoming

 

[CELL]

Nas is like raps Muhammed Ali. He took it from its infancy into it's now mature stage and he'll leave it with a hole so deep it'll never recover.
