Been bumping this, definitely worthy of an appreciation post.  Whenever we talk about NaS on here I don't see much discussion on this particular album.

  • My Way
  • Fetus
  • No Idea's Original
  • Poppa Was a Playa
  • Doo Rags

The Barry White sample on No Idea's Original > life.
 
Y'all just wanna deal with drama
Talk about +!%@@! who got things, y'all ready to kill his momma
Everything you went to is underworld related
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred
You don't trust a soul, hold up, you moldin soldiers
to pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
Think of how many dudes died tryin to be down with you
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you
Still standin, still roamin through the streets, that's real
You a survivor, knowin all the beef is ill
You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that's ready
Trustin your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?
Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is God
Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars, holdin a mirror
Lookin down a tear in jail, makin weapons to kill ya
We smoke three tokes %+*#! pour more Henny
He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many
Cold-blooded murderers, universal
Hood to hood, blowin smoke, state of mind is purple
  Top 10 Post Illmatic verse...

(Get's an idea for a thread...)

Fixed.
 
I remember going to the Record Exchange to buy this the day it dropped.

When I heard 'No Ideas Original', I literally kept it in on repeat for the next 4 days; and than continued to play the rest of the album.
 
"The chain be like a hunnid k,shinin' since Roxanne Shante made "Runaway",it's been a minute genesis is deep my features are that of a God it's not a facade it's a fact these rappers wanna be Nas" AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
As far as the sample goes,Al actually sampled a COVER of that particular Barry White song.I forgot who the guy is,but I came across the record last year while I was out diggin' and @%#%.
MUCH appreciated!!!!
 
Really love this album..Just let the whole thing play through, no skips...

*hat* x 1000
 
Nastradumas, astrologic, know when I rep
Flow when I'm set, got the chips to a lotus my whip
Gold on my neck was once a code of respect
For high rollers and vets
Now its loads of baguettes, prefer a mack-10 over a tech
No matter sober or wet, I smack soldiers, cadets
Trees that might eject my hype back
Famous phrase "*$*!# light that"
!$$* you %!*%, ask you where your ice at, dun
Its all about playboys, when we was young
Can only get tongue, then finally we can cum
Busting in !$$*, guzzling 4's
Crack blitz, '86, you turn hustling pro
From bottles, to seven in your hand
To fake pepsi's to get to the crack, unscrew the can
Gleam blunted, seeing 100's, stacks of boy with a lean on it
We got it if the fiends want it
The whole block singing the same theme "Don it"
%!*% it, too many crabs in the bucket
If its ice work, I'm gonna truck it
You gotta love it, you gotta love it

This whole album flows like water
 
This whole album is great, my 2nd favorite behind illmatic.

My way, Purple, Doo Rags, drunk by myself

If #*%%%* could look inside my mind, you'll find
where bodies are buried, first look past the hotties who dimes
Go to the center, enter with caution, passed the braincell graveyard
where weed's responsible for memory loss
Let's witness, the horrific, the stench'll make you nauseous
See what I seen every day I live with this torture
Lightin spliffs up to stay high like 24 hours
Sleep with my heat, wash with my gun in the shower
My tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons
Long as I'm still breathin I'm still winnin, I'll teach 'em
Queens.
