One for before the drugs and the other for after?

I'm not a big Nas defender like those cats we all know, but come on... if only Illmatic was his second or third album, instead of first, he would be consider the greatest lyricist of all time. <BR/><BR/>That aside, I do agree that I'm disappointed in the Gza/50 Cent beef going nowhere. Though, to be fair, the Gza has been consistent throughout ("all I said was 50 ain't got no lyrics" was exactly what he said at the Knitting Room show, which I saw live).stopmikelupicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248912216436816915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-71704130609175312522008-01-10T12:08:00.000-05:002008-01-10T12:08:00.000-05:00Late to the party-- CP time:"Talking 'bout, 'I nee...Late to the party-- CP time:<BR/><BR/>"Talking 'bout, 'I need a Phillie right before I get loose'<BR/><BR/>Poor excuse-- money, please, I get loose off of orange juice..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-11260245247476091932008-01-08T11:13:00.000-05:002008-01-08T11:13:00.000-05:00I think if RZA was back on the weed I would have l...I think if RZA was back on the weed I would have loved 8 Diagrams even more.Dallas Pennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999650468564846392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16210951.post-20564812114308036672008-01-07T14:02:00.000-05:002008-01-07T14:02:00.000-05:00^^ T's just being sensational.
