Why is Nas-Shootouts such an underrated song???

[Recca Gatsby]

Never see this track mentioned ever, even when discussing Nas's best tracks. Granted he has a ton of classics but still.

"Yo, release what's in me....
Besides the Henny, it's eyes that's seen plenty
Fiends get skinny as if Queens was a Craig Jenny
Instead of diet plans it's crack 200 grams
I pump a G-pack, peeping for where the D's at
It's slow, lookin for Rambo, the cop who got grazed
Back in the days, chasin nyggas through my project maze
That cop--he got a death wish"





But Nas rhymes on It Was Written fukk. "Red dot his face like a Hindu"

 

[Take It In Blood]

Goat

 

[Animal House]

Classic track from a classic album

 

[DontEemTry]

She do be lookin weaker now
Teeth are foul, speakin loud
Peep her style, in and outtta reefer cloud

I always loved this little couplet right here. Nas was a complete savage on IWW with the flow. Easily my favorite album of his.

 

[DontEemTry]

Also, why this pervy nikka had to grab Tanisha by her t*ts before they merked her

 

[JMD]

a lot of underrated gems on It Was Written

 

[Tim2520]

Classic storytelling

 

[Mega]

“Fat ass dissolvin', like cotton candy in a mouth that's starvin'”

 

[Indeed]

 

[George's Dilemma]

Both verses could be short films. Imagine Franklin showing up with Pierre on film

 

[HNIC973]

I don't think its underrated at all. To me this is the most underrated on IWW

nikka blacked the fukk out 2nd 3rd verses

 

[Tasha And]

Also, why this pervy nikka had to grab Tanisha by her t*ts before they merked her

She tried to say she earth

 

[Goat poster]

One of my fav Nas tracks EVER

his flow on that whole album was NUTS!!!

And trackmasters don’t get enough credit for lacing those dope beats

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Because he is the Greatest.

 

[Metal Face]

Because he has better songs with better beats
