    BTW i love Nas to death but please listen to Take It In Blood and tell me what Nas track/verse/feature has even come close to this song over the last 10 years? He definitely couldn't contend with his old self. Nor should he be expected to.

    I don't know how he hasn't been mentioned yet but 2 Chainz tbh. He's just gotten better as he gets older tbh.
