“He did that in ONE take,” explained DJ Premier. According to Nas, the original verse was close to 60 bars which he wrote in the studio THAT DAY.

“If you listen to ‘N.Y. State of Mind’” continued Premier. “You’ll hear him going, ‘I don’t know how to start this shit,’ because he literally just wrote it. Before he started the verse, I was signaling him going, ‘One, two, three,’ and he just goes in.”

Legend.

see you can't have a different opinion on a video with a black bitch on it. she will accuse you of doing drugs,being gay,ugly, or call you stupid etc.

This album was ok but not better than Lil Wayne's I am Not a Human Being 2!

I'm 34 years old and never been to New York. Malcolm X said in his autobiography that NY is not a place but a state of mind, I said ok I gotta visit and see--tell me why the fuck do I need to go if I can be there whenever I want when listening to this song? Nas if see this post, know you're the greatest..Nigga I see you smiling, thats becuase you know you are. True street poet and prophet nigga!
