My second Nas track also comes from his debut album, Illmatic, and it’s the one song that showed up on all five of the “Best Nas Songs” websites I looked at to generate this week’s song list.
So according to my very unscientific poll, I should expect this to be the very best Nas song of all. Talk about pressure.
I really enjoyed last week’s exploration of Jay Z, even if I didn’t come away understanding all the hype. I’ve decided to move on to another celebrated rapper this week — Nas.
Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones has been recording for nearly 20 years and is generally named as one of the top two or three rappers to ever spit into a mic. But, even moreso than with Jaz-Z, I am completely ignorant of his music.
