"It was a serious point in rap. Everyone was lyrical, everyone would battle you, everyone had a crew. Crews back then wasn’t only popping bottles, they was popping pistols too. There was a moment where it wasn’t just about being a fly guy with money, it was, “I’m still in the streets. I still got one foot in the streets.” I hadn’t really been shot [like I say in the song] but everyone else around me, so I was their voice."

“SHOOTOUTS”
Produced by: Trackmasters
Nas: “Shootouts” was based off some true shyt. I added some imagination but it was based on the life of me and my crew.
Poke: We put “Shootouts” out as a freestyle with Nature and Nas on a DJ Clue? mixtape. But it was so crazy that we thought, “Yo, let’s make it a whole record and put it on the album.” Although Nature is not on the final version, he was on the version that we put out. Nas loved the beat and he just wanted to go. He was like, “Yo, I’m going to air this out myself.” [
