Nas is Nas,In a place like guru,One person who has played a big part on a generation who listened to music rather than parents who r full full of racists 70s shit
nas is a poet/prophet some may argue. he tells the hood stories in metaphoric/similies, rather than right off loud ignorant rants. any maroon can yell and say slick hood talk and sayings. when nas is done with rap and long gone people will stop riding the newest microwavable rapper and realize what nas stood for in rap and hip-hop history
NAStalgia!!!! was the hottest song on the tape when it dropped, I remember listening to this 1 song all day long. Late nite, candle light, get higher than a helicopter, vibe'n to this.
what kind of idiot thinks its called "Salad Murder" or "Solid Murder" while the song itself is called "Silent Murder" and the dude on the hook is using an s- word sounding like "Silent Murder"......
u truly are a certified idiot LOL that sucks to be you
Yeah, I guess I converted to CDs too early, since it was a 'Cassette Bonus Track.'
It took me a couple weeks to figure out were Biology 101 was hiding, cause it wasn't on the Dr. Octogon CD. I had thought that it must have been a new single. Nope, cassette users had the luxury of one of the illist tracks on the LP.
No internet back then, son. You had to know underground heads to find things like this out.
You know who was in live squad right? Stretch, who was a mutual friend of Pac and Nas. He was murdered either shortly before or after this song, it was some time during the making of this album. I'm not one of these overimaginative rap game conspiracy theorists but it's just weird. One day one of the rappers from the Big & Pac era who knows things is gonna put out a book and expose a lot of shit that happened. Maybe Snoop, Nas, or Dre.
when this was out i was in tha bull pen in newark nj waiting to go to court and this cat ask me to spit something from it was written i chose this because it had the most def to it nigga went bannas and i went home on a class a
Yo, this was like the best song on this album, when it 1st came out i sopped and and heard this bonus track i set ny stereo to wake me up to this! It why i love Nas and miss this kind of rap.
this was a bunus track my older bro had it when he cop da cd in 96 then when i cop my own! copy few years later it didnt have it so.... idk anywho this esily best track on da album? everybody en title to they opinion but wit songs like da message,street dreams,i gave power,watch them nigggas,take it in blood,affirmative action!!!!!,shootouts,if i rule da world!!!!! and few others you wildin lol this shit is hot but easily da best one you is bugged lol
damn Nas put this shit on the cd version Fuck...street dreams remix 2...those are hella dope...it was written go hard but damn he should of added these 2 tracks
I remember working for for summer youth 1997. I listened to this tape on my wY to and from work for 2 months. This song was only on the It was written tape. At that time I didn't but CDs. I had my Sony Walkman. (remember those?) Silent Murder is probaly one of the best songs Nas has ever made. Like its the type of song that makes you think. Like your hype over his flow, but calm with the beat.
niggas uneducated motha fucka! read that nigga thoughts and hear his words. more knowledge laid down in one track a nigga could be in violation. hell naw that nigga smart education just listen and bang that jam I AM I AM I AM I&I
That's like my favorite line, or one of em. Or, "was it mind of CIA that bumped off Malik Shabazz? Fuck what the teach in class - I'ma reach the MASS"
My hair stands up on my neck when I hear him spit.
Kanye West MINDLESSLY compared this song to soulja boys crank that.
"thats Nas level shit he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track Silent Murder on it."
"what's the flavor when ya neighbors do jake favors, lock the real niggas down and lettin fake players roam around the projects, it's lyrical logic, I dilute the weak and inject the right composite". Lyrical Monsta
