We must settle this: the best song from STILLmatic?

[Anti-Anime]

2nd Childhood.

 

[DeuceZ]

Religion misoverstood is poison
nikkas up in my hood be getting shot, given poison
In hospitals, shots riddle the block
Little children and elderly women run for they lives
Drizzlin' rain come out the sky every time somebody dies
Must be out my fukkin' mind, what is this, the hundredth time
Sending flowers to funerals, readin' rest in peace
You know, the usual, death comes in threes
Life is short is what some nikka said
Not if you measure life by how one lives and what he did
And funny how these black-killer companies is makin' money off us
Fast food, cola, soda, Skull and Bone crosses, it's all poison

the flow in the highlighted part is just this followed by Rewind, One Mic, Stillmatic Intro DAMNIT brehs this CD is a classic

Those are my top two.

I gotta throw D&R in there though.

Mega is my man and all, but Nas completely spazed out on that with no fear.

He just went completely reckless on that one with a heart to heart.

Him going at Jay with Ether was business...but that D&R was family tough love talk. While everyone understood the Nas, Jay situation or heard of it atleast...to understand the Mega, Prodigy and nature situation you just had to be a fan from day 1 to where he was coming from.

What made D&R a great classic diss track for me was how Nas dropped
the Slick Rick vibe on that conversational flow.
Everyone was expectin Nas to team up with fellow QB artists against the Roc camp but the Kid/Escobar stood on his own 2feet.
The execution was on some ...



I'm representing Queensbridge U.S.A.
Where two sk's go off every day new flesh lay
All you little roaches and rats
Besides my man Ricky, Nas the true ruler is back
So haters say.....
