Dec 29, 2014 Once in a life time song for sure...N.Y State Of Mind and Dear Mama come to mind as well
Dec 29, 2014 I'm listening to Illmatic right now. Lifes a b---- This s--- is poetry I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessing The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it One quarter through life some Godly-like thing created Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from My skull cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain Don't go against the grain, simple and plain When I was young, at this I used to do my thing hard Robbin foreigners, take their wallets, their jewels, and rip their green cards Dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash and Got my first piece of a--- smokin blunts with hash Now it's all about cash in abundance n----s I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds I switched my motto; instead of saying "f--- tomorrow" That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back Time is Illmatic, keep static like wool fabric Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage
Dec 29, 2014 A person that knows Hip Hop just doesn't go up and say "Not a chance in h---". The whole song for itself is a f---ing monster. Incredible storytelling, technically perfect, unmatchable flow, fantastic production and the best Hip Hop hook of all time. A person can say that Lose Yourself is the official anthem of Hip Hop and nobody would say anything. Take it.
Dec 29, 2014 Not really, in Pop music history maybe yea.. A soft spoken upper middle class white lady has no place on the 'greatest' Hip Hop song.
