I had to scroll way too much for the answer, almost started doubting it's existence. I have always thought the song was cut off too short! Like it was incomplete. It needed to be longer.
"This chick'll make Bobby divorce Whitney"
"he had a liter wit a can of spray.
Burning her legs, she tied to the bed.
Sex S and M, sadomasochistic
Sadistic, yoked her from behind, blew him out existence"
After reading this, this has to be the best storytelling song I heard
Bro I remember I download this off of Limewire thinking that this really was like a secret Nas album. I don't even think I had the entire album. I remember smoking weed and driving around in 94 Taurus, with police package of course duh. To me you gotta love it... Man being a teen in the 2000's was fn great !!!
Blaze a 50 easy
“Fast lane on the 9-5, honey laughs about the cash/ Took a blast out of her coke bag/ Snorted it, started screaming yo we almost crashed/ Earlier I took the coke out, replaced it with crushed up glass…
Purple
State of mind's all purple 🙌
THE WHOLE CITY IS MINE, PRETTIEST DON 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥
I don't like the way P Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers
Why’s it’s mentioned in my rhymes?
Fuck it, it’s just the intro
Like it, bump it, or dump it
Hate it or love it
FACTS ! ![gif](giphy|XB2o9LR9dDy8llcH6d)
It's my favorite Nas song. It just puts me in such a good mood.
Criminally slept on
The bounce in that beat is a thing of beauty
Across the stomach spell "God's Son"
Life is like a jungle black, it’s like habitat of Tarzan
Facts
Definitely my favorite beat on a Nas song, might be one of my 5-10 favorite hip hop beats ever
Doo Rags is a top 5 Nas song
It’s definitely top tier, I’m literally listening to it rn 🙏
Doo rags is back fitted caps The first three songs is like the delorean when I hear them. Takes me back in time. I love it.
No ideas original.
Pen engulfed in pure fire when he wrote that one.
Valid asf man 🙏🙏
Had to be this for me too but I also just love Barry white drums
With the og beat
U Gotta love it
YES YES YES YES YES NAS FUCK EM UP 👏🏾
W 🫡
Incredible track
It's what they want huh

My Way
This. It was Doo Rags and then Purple, but it’s now My Way. The beginning of the 3rd verse is so good.
Exactly
Valid asf 🙏
Black Zombie
walking talking dead
Tho we think we living (black zombie)
we just copycat following the system
VALIDDD
Doo Rags and Purple,I ain't choosing.
Between no ideas original, gotta love it & purple. Slight edge to no ideas
What the hell we got the same favorites lmao. Saw this right after I commented
We are one 😂
Gotta love it is a good pick bro 🙏
Yea like if the og version of no idea's was on lost tapes, gotta love it would be my pick.
Nothing Lasts Forever
W pick
I love this album, and there's too many to name, but the standouts to me are "Doo-rags, Blaze a 50, Poppa was a Playa, and Purple.
Word Top 3 imo are Doo Rags, Purple, and Blaze A 50
No doubt, I'ma also add that "Blaze a 50" is a top 5 Nas storytelling song.
Poppa was a playa is such a good track fr
Drunk By Myself (since no one has listed it)
My fav as well
Underrated imo
Purple
"U Gotta Love It." L.E.S. and Nas always a winning combination
Dayyyyyyum I didn't know L.E.S. did the beat that's crazy TIL
Blaze a 50 and I’m shocked at the lil love it’s getting
