By now, you must have heard the new Nas track Surviving The Times. I must admit, ill track and ill piano (very reminiscent of New York State of Mind). Now, with that said… I’m kind of exhausted of rappers who feel like they aren’t shit now needing to remind us of how ill they were before or how good the past was. It’s alright if you dudes are depressed, but why are you trying to pass that feeling on to us. This whole trend of trying to bring the _0’s back is annoying. Nas did it on the last album, but it was somewhat related to the theme of his Hip Hop is Dead attention grabber. Now that he has a Greatest Hits album, is he trying to say what I, and anybody else with a mind, have been saying… that his best work is behind him? Regardless, I’m just trying to stir up some shit, this is an ill song that I’m definitely feeling, and it’s a nice segway to drop some gems. Here are pretty much all the songs you can find online that Nas made before Illmatic:
Just Another Day in the Projects
Live at the Barbecue (feat. Main Source, Large Professor & Akinyele)
Back to the Grill (feat. MC Serch)
Understanding (Feat. AZ & Biz Markie)
Number One With A Bullet (Feat. Kool G Rap & White Boy)
Nas Will Prevail
Deja Vu
Note: Those last links were doo-doo… will try to re-up when I get home. Btw… SMFH @ Nas (well, Large Pro) sampling Hawaiian Sophie for Halftime. Send me whatever original versions/official remixes of Illmatic tracks you have.

[...] the heads up. We all know Nas can’t perform for the life of him, but when he tried performing Surviving the Times, he either forgot the words or still didn’t have them down by heart. I don’t blame him, [...]
