What is Nas Best Single?

Yup, when that single dropped, Nas had the game in the palm of his hands, even if it was just for a moment.

A good measure of whether or not an artist is truly poppin is if they can drop a single that completely goes against format and what radio sounds like at that time, and it STILL becomes a hit, just because the stations are forced to play the song due to the artist's popularity.

At any given time in rap music, there are usually only a handful of people who have that kind of profile, and in 2002, Nas did.

Easily "The World is Yours" or "Nas is Like".

Going with Hero, just cause of it's content..and the firestorm the entire album had from the titled.

Gotta go with Nas Is Like...if only for the opening bars alone.

Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
My plateau, and also, what defines my name

And "Let Nas Down" by J Cole made me appreciate this joint even more to an extent, seeig that in the begining Cole rapped alongside a sample of Nas spitting these same bars.

So many years of depression make me vision
The better living, type of place to raise kids in
Open they eyes to the lies history's told foul
But I'm as wise as the old owl, plus the Gold Child
Seeing things like I was controlling, click rolling
Tricking six digits on kicks and still holding
Trips to Paris, I civilized every savage
Gimme one shot I turn trife life to lavish
Political prisoner set free, stress free
No work release purple M3's and jet skis
Feel the wind breeze in West Indies
I make Coretta Scott-King mayor the cities and reverse fiends to Willies
It sounds foul but every girl I meet to go downtown
I'd open every cell in Attica send em to Africa


If I ruled the world

"Street Dreams -remix"

It's lyrical, deep, and at the same radio-friendly and accessible.

Most commercially embraced has to be One Mic.
