Nas - John Blaze Original Feat Big Pun Jadakiss Raekwon & Fat Joe

[@iceborn7260]

Pun said…. I hate an actor that plays a rapper. So Pun would hate Drake.

[@sgvmvp]

Drake never blows up with the likes of Pun around

[@rell27]

Big Pun was a beast......his verse is the reason why Nas switched his shit up for Joe’s album

[@vicvega24]

Big Pun must've shitted on Nas

[@uchennasunday7037]

This Nas verse is better than what’s on the released version.

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

@@uchennasunday7037 No its not lol

[@originaltruth2244]

Pun verse is the best in this track crazy

[@artificialintelligence735]

​@@vicvega24he did bro Nas said him and pun used to do with each other Even big pun said when he wrote a verse he used to think he was battling Nas that's how they got better

Big shout if Math podcast MEO sent u here

[@theoldbk5419]

Nas verse is flames!!! Liked both of his verses, each one fits each beat

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

Nas verse was ok on this one.

[@theoldbk5419]

@@SoulOfTheSouth his rewritten verse for the second version is meaner, but his flow on this is like water!!

[@RejDaBoss]

Clue grabbed this jawn hot off the presses and threw it on his mixtape. The cat Reef that Clue shouts out was actually A/R for FJ's label, Atlantic. He got Ski Beatz to do beat for the album version about two weeks after clue dropped. Also, Nas and Pun had a friendly rival (like B.I.G & Jay Z).He changed his verse after he heard Pun's verse on Clue's mixtape ✊🏿💪🏾

[@Uprising771]

only the second best rapper to have ever lived

[@vicvega24]

Big Pun shitted on everyone on this track.

NaS is a perfectionist he always changes his verses up he even did it with Nore and Nore garbage period

Naw Nore is great

[@AerialPenn]

​@@Tariq0826is John Blaze better than Banned from TV? You can have this version and the album version. Is either one better than Banned from TV?

[@SurgeCess]

I honestly like this one better, reminds me of that Camp Lo song "Nicky Barnes".

[@bruceleeds7988]

Same sample, not doing John Blaze justice though, album beat is some movie shit

[@vinnyhaddad]

Man I remember this from the Napster days. Some times I long for the old Napster because there was a limited amount of unreleased music on there that hip hop heads could connect over. This track being one of them.

This beat beta than the original #classic #John blaze nothin can replace 90’z HIPHOP RIP BIG PUN 💯🙏🏿💪🏿🐺🖤☪️

[@kawaiiafangirl]

I actually liked Nas' verse a bit more here. Post-IWW Nas had a tendency to have clunky rhyme schemes imo (the official "John Blaze" verse was AAAA/BB/C/DDD/EEEE/F/GG for example). There were still internal rhymes of course, and the first half of one line can rhyme w/ the previous line but not its end but I think this Nas verse flowed better than the official one.

[@rugonz561]

Puns verse made nas re write his

[@slimhavoc4290]

Straight garage or basement shit dawg.

[@gdiggedy9]

Nas wrote Joe's verse.

[@VIFG]

No he didn't. Pun or Triple Seis wrote Joe's verse. That's who used to write for Joe at the time. Pun wrote for Joe unless he was busy (platinum selling artist), and then Triple Seis would write for him. Here's an example: Triple Seis wrote Joes verse on "Let The Games Begin" Pun wrote Joes verses on "The Crack Attack"

[@merabakerng]

Nas verse trash af fr the first TIME its obvious he wasn't feeling it himself good thing this version was buried in a shallow grave fr the Better ONE

[@luckylefty914]

Relax. It wasnt trash

Supposedly he spit that in the radio..so when he probably heard it was going to be in the album he changed it.
