[num123]

The World Is Yours
It Ain't Hard to Tell

 

[DMZ]

Life's a bytch
It Ain't Hard to Tell

the two songs that stuck with me the most right from the first listen

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

I've said it on the board a few times but Nas was so ahead of his time

On It Ain't Hard to Tell:

I drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

Medusa was a mythological figure that used to turn people into stone whenever they made eye contact with her
So he is saying he was so "stoned" aka High that even if he was face to face with Medusa giving her a shotgun he couldn't get more "Stoned"

The gems bruh the gems
