Street Dreams might be my favourite song on It Was Written and my favourite Hype Williams video.
Frank Vincent adjusting his tie with the sour look on his face before he hugs Nas in the casino is a peak mafioso-rap moment. Plus, the chick who played the Sharon Stone character is well fit.
@Step One Street Dreams is a bit overplayed but if theres one song from It Was Written I would never wanna hear again it would be If I Ruled the World.
the message was my shit in 4th grade cause i had just immigrated and i thought those were balalaika samples, so it was like a shoutout to the russians or something
Anonymous, It Was Written, The Lost Tapes and God's Son were the only other albums of his worth paying money for, imho. After that it's just random songs like these:
Understanding Life Is Like A Dice Game Deja Vu One On One La Familia (O.G version) Phone Tap Firm Biz (World's Famous Remix) Hate Me Now Project Window The Flyest Thief's Theme Virgo
Everyone knows Nas' shit already, probably more so than me because I haven't listened to any of his albums post-Street's Disciple. Plus, I REALLY don't wanna turn my comments into a bunch of lads rating Nas albums 😷
I did not notice either lol
ReplyDeleteMe neither. I don't like Street Dreams much. Or the remix.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Silent Murder and Take It In Blood all day.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite song off this album is “Watch dem Niggas”. Smooth beat and great rapping from Nas.
ReplyDeletei know you're farrr from a Nas fan but other than Illmatic, what music of his do you consider essential?
