I cried tbh the words is wrote with a deep meaning and the fact that Namjoon listen to black artist and think about it just make me thankful and trying to connect more people to this
Nas - Wu For The Children 🕊🙏🏽🕊 The soulfulness. The wisdom. The message. I love the bar where he said himself, Jay-Z & Biggie were the equivalent to Drake, J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar.
This man dropped so much quality music on these 6 albums, you come back, to each project not realizing how much fire he put out. Song is FIREEEEEEEEEEEE! NAS#GOAT
Nas you’ve been my favorite Artist since Deja Vu era. I used to write down your lyrics, memorized them and gradually learned songwriting from you. I also studied Biggie 2 Pac & Jay-Z. You are honestly number 1 then Jay-Z in my personal opinion. You deserve your flowers 💐 and props to the fullest. Love You King 💯👑
"I don't work this hard to be around ppl I don't like" I felt this in every molecule of my being. Shout to those who aren't grinding for the sake of grinding. But have a trajectory and end goal.
When you walk out on of the restructure hip hop meeting and don’t release music according to the new rap conglomerate 1%’ers guidelines, after they offered to make you a and Jay-Z rap “legends”.. but you decline and said you’re Gods son who makes music FOR the people. And that they don’t have to convince you how powerful music and lyrics are just like the two recent legends Pac and Biggie who had just fallen after they declined but kept making music…… in short they couldn’t buy pac and biggie’s soul to use their music against their people so they murdered them after they continued to make music… next candidate was Nas and Jay-Z… Nas Tipped off by Biggie about a meeting him and PAC had with a dude and to beware of the music entertainment Devil. A year after BIG’s death, and found himself in that meeting, this time in a bigger group to be more persuasive. Yet it didn’t work and walked out opting to not only make music that they wanted, but also opted to not finish terms on his contract. “Hence he said he leaves with their soul”. Leaving them to take Jay-Z and Puff as their master puppets. Other artist walked out of the meeting also to name a few, Bone thugs n harmony, Missy Elliot, X-Zibit, and Mary J Blige were part of a few other rappers/r&b artist who did not follow through with the meeting. PAC, Biggie and Nas are real rap legends! Nas being the only one still living… music hasn’t been the same since the 90’s
@@socalrunningback my interpretation of that verse was Nas addressing the women he dealt with in his past and basically just describing their negative reaction after he ended things with them. When he said “they label me a sinner, because I left with their soul” he’s referring to the women he was addressing previously.
Peace, I swear Nas wrote this song after me,this is why Nas will always be my favorite rapper. His wisdom grasp your ignorance and your righteous state of mind soon as he speaks, its always jewels in his lyrics. Peace Nas
grown ass man i felt this record. in the back of my mind i feel. nas raekwon ghostface and AZ should make a album together. bunch of grown men just rapping to you kicking knowledge, life experiences, and learnt lessons over soul beats. they all already family, it just makes sense
I wanted to say thank you to Nas and Tupac for the good fortune of hearing your lyrics since 1994. Greetings from a Turk living in Germany. Selam brother
I don’t know if everyone caught the line special like my listeners that have attachments to his old style!! A lot of people won’t catch what he is saying he is saying his style has evolved but a lot aren’t spiritually in tune to keep up!! This dude is a LEGEND
yep..He ran out on that gimmie the loot remix because BIG verse was too hard.He couldnt fuck with it.Shout ot NAS,though.He is mty second favorite of all time.
