"Nas Is Like" Appreciation Thread

[its....JOHN B]

LOVED this preemo track. Was hoping for so much more, then the album came out.....

Album was dope, there's a couple he could left off, but who cares its still a great album

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

The first 3 albums from Nas were flawless from a lyrical standpoint.

Tomp needs a blog to get his Silky Johnson on. Hell, I'd read it.

"Ready when you are Preme"

@Elzo69Revolutions you going to post it?

I'm mobile so I gotta find it... I think it's part of a doc but he also said it in a few interview... Premo was Talking bout how he was watching TV late at night dozing off and a religious commercial came on and the sample for Nas is Like was playing in the background of the commercial... He tracked the song down looped the sample ... The rest is history

J. Cole was disrespectful for ever trying to utter a lyric from this classic track.

This song has too many quotables. It's easily a Top 10 Nas song. The funny thing about it is, having listened to this song for years, I never noticed that there was no profanity in the song until someone pointed it out last year.
