Nas- My Worst Enemy

[@NewYorkMuslim809]

Not only is this a spooky QB style instrumental, but this track gives you goosebumps of a place and time in which NYC produced a king like Nas. Nas is truly a special/gifted man that held NY rap to the highest standard.

[@eponymous7910]

There's almost a gothic, danny elfman esque batman likeness to this beat. It is majestic. Nas is peerless

Nas is an amazing Poet. Not all rappers are poets, but Nas is the epitome of Rap and Poetry being related. ESCO!

[@ALGtheMC]

wm young rap is Rhythm and Poetry

[@SoLoDoLo77.]

i was blind to this world, all i thought about was diamonds and pearls... nas's simplicity and poetic nature is unmatched

[@aaronredshaw5462]

Nah gza makes nas look like trash but he's still good

[@fearedemise]

@@aaronredshaw5462 gza is good but he never had the cadence and expressiveness as nas does in this track. Especially in the second verse "I recognized the world is a beautiful place Niggas opinions ruinin' my musical taste Cause everytime I caught a case, could of got me in jail If you wasn't scared of jail, you more likely to fail" gza doesnt go for lines like these. its never as personal as a nas track.

Omg. I can’t believe how many obscure Nas tracks that weren’t widely released there are.

Agreed with the its been a long time....the version with swiss beats and DJ from around the way is HOT.

Hope It don't take me that long. I'm tryna find the alternate full version. Of that "kids in the PJs" there's a verse in there on another song I wanna find.

[@Crafty_Spirit]

The fact that Nas never got to publish the I am... Nastradamus double LP as planned is one of the greatest tragedies in music history. Now some of his greatest tracks - like this outstanding one - are "only" unofficial releases, not mentioned in most discographies

[@luisfletes3382]

[@marksimmons2033]

I remember seeing a TOWER RECORDS tracklist for the lost tapes that included this song, long with Your Mouth Got You In It, and You Don't Know Me. I love all of those unreleased gems. I wish they would've added it or at least had it on some Japanese import.

[@flatout1017]

my opinion nas is the G.O.A.T. his poetic lyrics and is real live events and he is true to himself he put his whole life out there i think tupac was to a great artist with knowledge i just think he made a movement in the musical industry exploiting the true depths behind the scenes of music culture and the media tried to make him look bad because he was giving the people facts..i respect them both for putting out real music thats going on in our everyday lives..

[@ljrouse5]

"Fuck pistols, bringing machines, icy belt buckles 10 guns M1s with ice muzzles, life's a struggle" greatest mc of all time 🔥🔥🔥🔥
