Loco-Motive...one of the illest tracks of the new millennium. The lyrics, the beat, the background train/subway noises...man...
"it's ghetto beef, sinister niggas snicker through yellow teeth"
Nas aint no punchline rapper, but the images he brings forth with his lyrics are what makes him one...
Leave niggas confused from the day to the night
At night, see the light, when the pistol's sparkin
Daytime it gets dark when that pistol barkin

What yall know about...puttin my work....on the block

.....nigga be spot on. I found those lines he posted awkwardly corny as well. Like, really Cole? Still getting a feel for the album though. Like some songs, I'm sure most of them might take time for me to like them though.
Rolled over to Best Buy...seen a chick and her boy go in the car, both with Cole albums. Went inside, cats was just coppin the album like it was the new hot thing. I think he'll move some units.
The fact that Bush claimed it was the biggest stain in his legacy justifies that being #1
To have someone who sat in the same office as Lincoln, JFK, Roosevelt claim that a hip hop artist's comments was his worst moment in presidency, that really says something.
Now Cam is one of my favorite rappers of all time. But to say he's better than Pun is ridiculous.
edit: Have to say this though....on songs with both Pun and Cam, Cam holds his own
I think Cam> Pun in this
