Who's world is this!?

[Build That Wall]

I'm smokin bomb-ass weed feelin crucial
From player to player, the game's tight, the feeling's mutual
From hustlin and prayers, to breakin mother****ers to pay-up
I got no time for these b1tches, cause these hoes tried to play us
I'm on a meal-ticket mission, want a mil', so I'm wishin
Competition got me ripped, on that bull**** they stressin (boo-yaa!)
I'ma rhyme though, clown hoes like it's manditory
No guts no glory my ni99a b1tch got the game distorted
Now it's on and it's on because I said so
Can't trust a b1tch in the bidness so I got with Death Row
Now these money hungry b1tches gettin suspicious
Started plottin and plannin on schemes, to come and trick us
But Thug ni99az be on point and game tight (yeah)
Me, Syke and Bogart, wrap it up the same night
Got problems then handle it, mother****ers see me
These ni99az is jealous cause deep in they heart they wanna be me


This guy is the greatest.

[El-blanco]

Nas is the GOAT.

His resume is slick

KO'd a prime Jay

KO'd prime 50 Cent

KO'd Cormega

Murdered ring tone rappers during the peak of their hype with HHID.

Numerous classic albums under his belt as well as some of the greatest tracks in the History of the genre.

and of course the Illmatic/Stillmatic... bibles of Hip Hop.

I think it was written is his best album.

I gave you power, take it in blood, suspect, black girl lost, silent murder. The whole album was great, I remember I had the booteg the summer before grade ten and lost my mind hearing it. It still had classic east coast beats, only done at a higher level, and incredible lyrics, as usual.

NaS should have retired after Illmatic. That album was so ****ing great that it was impossible to come up with something better.
