this was Nas in his more flashy times. if he stayed flashy he would be more famous and prob even richer but wouldnt be as respected as a true MC. either way hes the GOAT

This was when Nas was trying to keep up with Biggie. Biggie was doing the whole "Frank White" thing and came out to the stage in pin stripe suits. Nas was trying to follow that model. Really It Was Written in general was him trying to do what Biggie did, he's even admitted it. Illmatic was dope no doubt, but nobody bought the shit, he had to switch it up on that Mafioso shit.

Probably, but the song "All eyez on me" was released even before Nas finished to record "It was written". And the sample was used in the exact same way in both songs so I really think Trackmasters, who produced "Street Dreams", really got inspired by the production that Johnny "J" made for 2Pac.

Hes amazing nowadays. Ironically, since hes old now. I saw in 2017 as well as earlier this year, and he was ON POINT with his breath control. Only skipped a word once or twice in the entire shows, and that was during memory lane and one love third verse. And lets face it, nobody could rap those tracks without being winded anyway!
