With all the respect (NAS is DOPE)...but I see this comment about his age all the time. I'm 52 years and back in the 80's most of the rap artist were teenagers when writing/releasing their stuff For example LL Cool J was 16 years young when he recorded his first tracks (demo tape), 17 years young when his first record came out....
@J4s0n3r I'm 44 and I often point it out to the younger reactors because there's a disconnect that I want them to see. Most 18 yr olds nowadays can't even crack an egg, change a flat or be able to navigate without a phone telling them where to turn. I try and highlight to them that this level of writing is possible at a young age if you have discipline.
@J4s0n3r I have a 25 yr old that wasn't raised w me and my 12 yr old son had to show his "adult" sister how to make Mac and cheese without a microwave. I was floored when I came home and he told me that.
This song goes HARD!! There's 2 parts to this song. It's on his 3rd album ("I am.....(99"). This beat is produced by Dj Premier. He sampled the artist Joe Chambers from his song "Mind rain". Illmatic is my favorite Nas album!

He was the 1st in Hip Hop History to put a childhood picture on a album cover, which also makes the album unique.

Lest we not forget that this man was a teenager when he wrote all of this.
