Where Does Back When Rank In Nas Discography

[Budda]

When it comes to nostalgia no one gives you a better picture than Nas, Doo Rags, Surviving The Times, Memory Lane etc.

But where does Back When rank amongst that group, for me its one of the best songs to have been releaed in the last 5 years, the beat, sample, Nas>>>>

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

To call em fake today is hate, real nikkas extinct
Pac left me inside of a rap world wit nikkas that wink

[mr.africa]

song of the album
quotable after quotable
classic track imo

'A jigsaw puzzle aerial view of the projects
A kid saw struggle, buried a few of his partners
Now chill in resorts, enjoying massages
Check out the oracle bred from city housing
Nas, I'll rise the deads by thousands'

'I light a L for Vernon, for nikkas who would burn in Hell
For Vernon; 10th Street, 12th Street, Nightmare on Elm Street
Pimps creep, delve deep inside the editorials
Of the ghetto queens, kings, stories true
Who possesses the testicular fortitude'


'real name, stage name, same thing
how could you let this lames claim king
i'm so ashamed man....'

nas admitting that with a little more hard work(especially after pac and big died) his GOATness would have been undisputed!!!
the honesty of nas on tracks is just

great song. Definitely a standout track. No one will give it classic status because its not vintage Nas but it would be in my Nas greats list.
