after about 20 listenings to a modern song it gets old. i have listened to this song probably 200 times and it is still great. real music never gets old
illmatic was a crazy album back in the day ' and believe it or not i'm a huge nas fan. and i respect real hip hop at the age of 19' nas the reason i wanna rap career.
im an aspiring MC, not a rapper. growing up as a hip hop disciple, illmatic was my gospel....18 years later and Illmatic STILL murks any album out to date. REAL SHIT
Possibly the savoir of hip-hop is upon us, it's probably only a matter of time until we see. Unti; then, Nas will always be the greatest rapper alive!!
JOJO619BOY so? Let them listen to whatever sounds good to them. This songs actually a classic. The song ranked 28 on top 200 songs of the 90s. So while your callin people dumbasses,think about things like that.
