Nas - It Was Written - Take It in Blood

[Im2pimpin]

NaS is jus pure Genious

[drerice]

0 dislikes, it's rare. very rare. i love nas

[Mafisher1]

It's my favorite hip-hop album!

I wanna show this album my grandchildren. :)

[enanobx]

fuck lil wayne mainstream trash..nas qreatest mc

[taproot126]

I don't know how someone would choose a garbage rapper like lil wayne or lil john over a lyrical genius like nas. This defines hip hop, this is what its all about.

[2pacalypse2010]

WHATS KRAZY, IS HOW DIS ALBUM IS 14 YRS OLD, AND WILL STILL KILL ANYTHING OUT RIGHT NOW...NAS 4 EVER..SHAME HOW HIS CAREER ENDED THO..I THINK HE SHOULDA PLAYED A BIGGER ROLE

[ineligible76]

@2pacalypse2010 ..I AGREE..NAS WAS KNOW AS ONE WHO WROTE "ANTHEMS"..SKILLS DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HIM..ONE!!

[TheSteve4200]

@2pacalypse2010... Naw Nas did the right thing... its much better to let the music die.. And not be appart of the modern music sceen..

[Rockstafar]

@TheSteve4200 poor old snoop didnt seem to get the message

[theAgentz]

jesus christ I love this track, Nas is one of the best who is slept on more than posterpedics

[DarkFury10988]

Nas may not produce mainstream hits no more but on the real still to this day i honestly don't believe that any MC alive today can fuck with nas lyrically. He would crush them all

[Daftendirektour]

i don't see why everyone saying shit like "all the albums after Illmatic were shit" cause tbh, It Was Written, is fucking awesome, same with Stillmatic, that was nice too... 

[daresoner]

classic, nas is crazy

[feelingBEEF]

banga

[kleptomc]

this is why hiphop will never die

[intoodeep241]

one of the best albums of all time, fuck the west

[OldSchooLset]

thats awesome, nas the best

[destintamakit]

one of best albums of all time

[324fender]

thats what pricks like you who are blinded by their ignorance believe.. you cant say its the best album written... when others think different..

[destintamakit]

@324fender your an idiot lol

[MrTUFFLINE135]

One of the BEST album in 96... Hands Down

[daresoner]

@MrTUFFLINE135 not one of the best, the best peace

[Makalevi7]

[whisper011]

STackKsBundLes u fukin stupid?!?!?!....idk bout u arguing wif whoeva the nigga is....but u talkin bout the west better....sike mother fucker...east all day...NEW YORK period...hollis queenz all fuckin day nigga

[MrDeray5]

I always thought this was the best track on the album.

[redsoxallstars]

@MultiKadafi how is that possible...

[MultiKadafi]

i ain't saying illmatic is a terrible album i just don't think it is stronger then it was written or stillmatic. Because he reached a higher level after illmatic.

[owenkhill77]

This album doesnt get enough credit I remember my homie that was from brooklyn and moved to texas let me hear Nas illmatic I liked a couple of songs but when this album came out I really became a Nas fan in my opinion he is a top 5 lyricist

[CCain23]

BEST Lyricist. Period.

[STackKsBundLes]

lol word nigga not top 5. he is a true livin legend everyone got an opinion top 5 and shit. it shoudlnt be like that. if you a fan of hip hop especially a 90/80 head then its Nas-Jay Big L- Big Pun Tupac-B.I.G Rakim-Pete Rock & CL Mos Def-Q-Tip Jada-Styles Havoc- Prodigy Raekwon-Gza-Rza-Ghostface-Ol dirty Shyne so stop trying to bullshit eachother with the big and tupac war for whos better just let it rest and enjoy the good ol shit . word

[sILenTOutBUrsT]

Where's Cube, Common, Face Mob, Outkast, UGK?

[STackKsBundLes]

cube is like #11 to me. Common i forget to mention him cuz hes so low key but deserves it, face mob- never got into them so idk. Outkast ill admit there good ther lik #9. and ugk well ughhh idk

[sILenTOutBUrsT]

Cube has one of the greatest catalogs in rap history......without Cube where would the mixtape game be?

[STackKsBundLes]

w-e dude its your opinion. stop beastin i gave in my list that everyone should atleast respect and to think about not bitch about

[sILenTOutBUrsT]

If you was into 80's and 90's hip hop its kinda hard to forget Cube.....specially since the nigga still spittin classics

[STackKsBundLes]

i had phases dawg i listen then i stop listening but. ice dont interest me that much. get off ya knees kid damn you on his shit

[sILenTOutBUrsT]

don't call me a kid son......and for someone who loves hip hop it would be hard to not acknowledge Cube or Face but you mention Shyne? How about you get off the dick of the east......midwest > east coast

[ryanpeeler]

nas is the greatest nothin else to talk about

[bboycumshot]

LOL

[Visionary3rdEye]

No doubt...Illmatic is a great album...a classic.

But this album is just on some whooole other shit. He really grew up as an artist in between those albums...

Both classics, but this one is his best...he'll never top this.

[malboro1979]

This is when nas was nas. Oh how I miss the past

[killavon12]

Nas second best cd. Illmatic first, Stiilamtic then Hip Hop is Dead.

[STackKsBundLes]

what about The lost tapes!
