We must settle this: the best song from STILLmatic?

[Alexander Wiggin]

My skin is a art gallery, right
With paintings of crucifixes
Hopin' to save me from all the dangers in the music business
Was once a young gangsta hangin' with youth offenders
But since I tasted paper it started losin the friendships
Watchin' kids freeze in winters, they still poor
How could I tease them with Benz's and feel no remorse
Drivin' past them in the lively fashion, diamond colors clashin'
Red stones, blue stones, red bones and black ones
fukk did I expect with bucket seats in a Lex
And spendin' time in Chuckie Cheese with Little Des
Got guns when I'm with my daughter
Hate to bring a violent aura in her presence
She knows what daddy taught her, it's lessons
Black princess it's a ugly world
I put my life up for yours, see I love that girl
Could you believe even my shadow's jealous
My skin is mad at my flesh, my flesh hates my own bones
My brain hates my heart, my heart makes the songs
Though my songs come from the Father
I'm lonely...
Hold me, it's gettin' darker

 

[Izanami]

What Goes Around might be Nas best "conscious" record. In terms of execution with a dope hook, mean insightful lyrics, delivery and replay value. It was just perfect. It think this type of execution was lacked on Untitled.

 

[The_Third_Man]

You da man

the way he sets the table with that intro, shyt is cinematic

This album pretty much turned me on to lyrics. I was 11 going on 12 and starting to mature. Before I just listened to whatever was on the radio, but this right here made me really go back and listen to good music. I wasnt even much of a Nas fan, I was all about the ROC...

Yo u know a album is crack when u can go back and remember a time in your life..... I was in high school when this shyt dropped... I think I was around 16 or 17 ...I cut school copped a 40 and copped this shyt lol

This album is too crack man...to this day I still play this shyt

Every ghetto
2nd childhood
What goes around
Intro
The whole damn album

How this nikka not the best b?
