People talk about NASs illmatic Album with high praises (rightly so) and his other works in a disparaging way. I hear/read this all the time. This track along with many others on the album Nigger (which name was later changed to N because of record company and media scrutiny) i feel is more relevant, honest and poignant. However, i will concede to the fact that the beat production and lyrical Technique that resides in Illmatic are indeed superior. Various tracks on this album lets you into the heart and mind of not only Nas, but many many people. Especially people of colour. This is why i think this is one of his best works. Its all about the message for me.. One shameful fact you may be interested to know hip hop fans about this album is that this album lost a Grammy to Jay-Zs the The Carter 3. This here is one of my favourite tracks from Nas https://youtube/watch?v=_abaTowrWGM
