I copped the second single "It ain't hard to tell" a few months before the album dropped then I copped the album the day it dropped. Easily one of the greatest Hip Hop albums of all time.

    This song saved my life, literally. Back in the 90's, me and the homeboys was on the wrong side of the tracks and we ended up on that gang life shit. We got caught slippin, while I was on my Acura with my lil homie and the rest were on another car who end up getting shot from the opps on Central/60th intersection down in Florence South Central LA. I had this song playing on the stereo and at the same moment Nas was paying homage to Ill Will and all his dead friends from Queens on his second verse, they started to shoot em up. Thanks to God we all survived, and that verse from Nas changed my vision of life, so I ended up doing a 180 turn and went to college.

    Nas is something like what Mozart was in his time and is now. When rap is a studied art, like classical music is to us now, many many centuries from now, Nas will be studied as one of the geniuses in the genres hay day. And for that reason, his music is forever!❤🗽🐐

    The 90s were such a surreal time. A renaissance; art coming in from every background, every city, every color. The last real golden age we really had. Everyone I know who lived through it has nostalgia for it, including myself. A time too good to last.
