One of my favorite Nas joints ever! When I think of how much of a storyteller Nas is, I think of this song and Rewind, and maybe even Drunk By Myself. Good choice!

2023-07-24 19:06:43 +0000 UTCGlad that your dad reacted to this one. One of the peak song writing examples from Nas. Would love to see you guys do rewind, I think that’s the only song that trumps the idea/writing of I gave you power in nas’ discography

2023-07-24 16:54:35 +0000 UTCI’ll say it now just like Ive always said it It Was Written is better than Illmatic Not by much … but slightly. It has more features,better production and it’s grittier and more gangsta too which meant that it never left my CD player damn near the whole summer of 1996 Also… The Message is one of the hardest intros ever !

2023-07-23 06:19:20 +0000 UTCIt's going on 30 years since I first heard Illmatic when it was released, and I still think it's the best hip hop album ever made. It Was Written is my 2nd favorite Nas album, and I have some good memories listening to it in the summer of '96.

2023-07-23 05:04:14 +0000 UTCThe ending to this song meant to show the never-ending cycle of violence despite the efforts of the gun to stop it, as someone grabs the gun and the violence starts over.

2023-07-23 04:52:15 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for this one and it was my vote. It shows the genius of Nas. I go with Illmatic, but it was the introduction of Nas n has a nostalgic feeling when I think of it.

2023-07-22 17:48:00 +0000 UTCIllmatic, hands down!! Not saying It was written is bad by any means. Illmatic is just perfect ✨

2023-07-22 16:43:02 +0000 UTCI can’t pick between those two albums. I listened to It Was Written before I got to Illmatic so I have a bit of a bias to that one bc of the nostalgia factor but Illmatic is so damn classic. It’s like picking your favorite kid lol

2023-07-22 09:40:44 +0000 UTCThanks for letting me know!!! Im gonna reupload it with lower volume so the audio is better. It's 2:00am where I am but I wanted to get this up ASAP, so I think that problem is the result of me trying to keep my volume down so I don't wake the house up haha. Appreciate you watching!

2023-07-22 09:26:19 +0000 UTCYES! this is the kind of music i live for, Nas & Preemo is such a lethal combo. Btw i think the mics are peaking a bit in this one, just letting you know :) Thanks for the reaction!
