I still have this CD to this day. Can you imagine 25 year old chic bumping this when this came out in a clean cavalier w/rims. Before the kid and all.

[LEGALHUSTLE00]

@missjovon76 Cavaliers are never clean especially with rims lmao

[missjovon76]

@LEGALHUSTLE00 - sweetie, this was back in 2002 so at that time, for me, being a female it was clean.

[EthioBully]

Nas did a collab album with Damien Marley ( a raggea arist)...But not one with AZ; and they've been making classic tracks together for years. I don't fucking get it..

[jlskura]

There was an AZ sing I heard back in 2003 with a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSERIOUS orchestral beat it was majestic and I can't remember the song. It Wasn't calm like this it was LOUD and It sounded like the music to a boss battle in a videogame or something. If anyone has a faint even idea of what Im talking about please post it or tell me the name of the song.

[jiggaman000]

@jlskura u might be talking about Street Life by AZ...if u havent found it by now

[jollygizzle]

me and my man used to listen to this riding around the streets of baltimore....get our bread up

[oIBulletzIz]

this is real rap , now niggaz listen to that corny ass jerk music and shit we need this type of music in hip hop history now the new artist just fucked up hip hop word to moms .

[niCKiB310]

This reminds me of my guy, man it takes me back !!!!!!!!!!!

[ANTICHRISTisFunny]

I like this better than the flyest.. But Life's a Bitch and How ya Livin i think are better. I like the way AZ spit on the Firm.. not really feelin Nas's verses on the Firm album

[IKingValerioI]

what about mo money mo murder

[ANTICHRISTisFunny]

[1c3cube]

[JasonDaPsycho]

totally underrated

this song kind of reminds me of "Teardrops and closed caskets"

[untouchableskillz]

besides kiss and styles...these 2 are da best goin back and forth wit da flow

[J2theMillz]

Nah, they're the best duo point blank period.

[Mjunior65]

Yo I heard that AZ wanted to do the collaboration album with Nas.But for some

reason it wouldn't happen.

[Chase627]

should have won the grammy 4 this.. no doubt.

[nubfoff]

they did

[1c3cube]

no they didnt...

[JiraXiD]

Aw this track is so fuggin ill :o I just love how they complement each other with their voices and rhymes. This is in my opinion, definitely on the top 100 of hiphoptracks.

[nubfoff]

top 5*

[Aran101]

I love the dynamics between these two, this is the definition of hip hop

[stevebully]

This song was nominated for a grammy.

[fuckyouboob]

Sosa and Nasty Nas are the best together, when they are on point, dont get no better

[nycballer93]

Az is my friends dad

[rcowell24]

No jokes?

[room702]

authentic music, one of my friends stole my copy of this album. i need to cop another one. original copy is prefered.

[ZoNeBx1160]

son nas n az killed it...da 1st verse esspecially..of course dat make him ur man cuz ya palms meet

[adrian121]

he said that dont make him ur mans cuz ur palms meet

[ZoNeBx1160]

i kno i jus forgot to type dont..dat was my mistake but dat line is so tru

[351cleveland]

i thought he said "palm weed"

[bklyn1316]

This shit is sick

[HuiroCat]

so sick.

[mrfacetious007]

SOSA is the truth!

[joe817263]

this should have more views Az is so good and he is underated and Nas is just amazing

[CraCCs30]

I heard this was the sequal 2 Life's A BitCh

[sickeswrx]

is it because nas said "this might be like another part to life's a bitch?"

[gotsteeze92]

Nas and Az have made some of the best collaborations ever know. i need to com eout wiht a cd together. maybe even make a new group. just with them in it this time

[sickeswrx]

yeah, that would be great, but i remember reading somewhere that Nas and AZ wont be collaborating anymore.

[stillsameolg04]

This joint got me thru some things man! Classic...

[MrCakes]

best dou for real... their collabo albulm is WAY overdue

[hott97]

illest line for line ever in the history of rap

[vtaylor81]

[jozeywellz]

This is my joint. AZ and Nas... Them n*ggas need to do an album together... Not that Firm shit... (which was cool) But just some real shit.

[pineapplepootytang]
