Nas has the lyricism of Rakim, the awareness of Chuck D, the wordplay of Kool G Rap, the metaphors of Big Daddy Kane, the knowledge of KRSONE, the storytelling of Slick Rick, the longevity of LL Cool J and the versatility to do a great album with Damian Marley.

G Rap's rhyme-scheme on the first verse, my fucking god.. 1. "Eam" (dreams, team, cream, gleam) 2. "Ali" (riley, calis, bally's, alley) 3. "Ino" (casinos, dino, primo, beam-o's, Reno, latinos) 4. "Aff" (staff, math, baths, half) 5. "Ay" (major, players, papers, layers, portray-us, Amadeus, fakers) 6. "Ar" (targets, dark-hits, market, carpet) 7. "E" (cheat-us, beat-us, heaters, Adidas, Da-leaders) 8. "Ar/Me" (Armani's, harm-me, army) 9. "Ol" (Cee-lo rollers, folders, Bolla, payola, Cola) 10. "Ack" (black, jacks) 11. "Ing" (Slanging, sling, thing) 12. "One" (one, son) 13. "Ame" (shame, game) I probably missed many rhyme patterns but fuck it.

Word. That is imo also a top-10 verse in hip hop history". One other is Opio's verse in Souls of Mischief's - "Make Your Mind Up". That whole song is top-100 track in hip hop but that 2nd verse Opio drops gives me chills similar to Kool G's opening verse. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYqqinikaLBgeaM go to 1:21 in that song. Opio's verse in 1993 and Kool G in 1995. Both top-10 verses imo based on time historically and technicality.

This whole song is a display of excellence. First and second verses are both incredible. Then when you think it can’t get any better they do the back and forth for the 3rd verse. Even the way they did the video and came down the stairs together for the 3rd verse is crazy. Plus the sample for the beat sounds lavish and it has a great chorus that emphasis that. This record is a all around 10/10. It’s not talked about enough.

Nowadays the art of rhyming is non existend & replaced with marketing yourself as a brand, a bankable product relying on an easy to digest cookie cutter formula for the masses. The soul has been replaced with cliché image driven caricatures...Hip hop needs to snatch its essence back from their white CEO's & consumers & remember where the heart of this art beats.

Kool g rap has the best delivery of all time

[@lifestraight]

Nas' rhymes were immaculate in these years. Nas has regressed from a technical standpoint in the area of rhymes. They aren't as sharp and crisp today as they were in the mid 90s.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

Cause it goes over people head nowadays and that style doesn’t sell anymore sadly.

I think it's just cuz he's a bit older now, and rich as hell, I suppose you rap harder when you're skint/poor.

I can honestly say that G RAP had the best verses on this joint. Nas even admitted that. G RAP was a beast and not appreciated enough imo.

[@jeremiahfilipo8348]

This guy can flow

[@Raydensheraj]

At the third verse when they both go line to line...you can hear two absolutely legends spitting bars like NOTHING you will hear today....

[@dgnatural1]

Their line-for-line flow in that verse is flawless. And something tells me it didn't take them long to do it.

[@Hot33333333]

They messed up the handshake in the beginning. Lol but Kool G Rap the only person I've heard out rap Nas on a track.
