    When Nas Raps. He is having a conversation with you. That's how he is special. His poetry is deep. Not in the way you would expect. Not big words or too complex syllabuses. It's the narrative he addresses. It's the power behind his words. They touch you in a way like no other. He is the one indeed.
    Also ever noticed Nas is one of the few rappers mentioned in the same sentence with legends like pac and Biggie.. It astonishing..

Swizz Beatz is a genius too. This beat is amazing

Nobody’s giving views to those new clowns videos and song who grew up listening to Nas, it’s pointless to argue with those idiots who think those artists even make music for a rap genre it’s more like for the wack genre that new shit is straight garbage 🗑 this is where hip hop lives
