Nas Is Answering Fans’ Questions On Reddit And Twitter At The Same Time
“Memory Lane (Sittin’ In Da Park)”
Producer: DJ PremierLyric: “I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat/Childhood lesson make me see him drop in my weed smoke/It’s real, grew up in trife life, the times of white lines/The hype pipes, murderous nighttimes and knife fights invite crimes”
Why It’s Dope: We can see here how hard lessons learned at too young of an age shaped Nas’ worldview. Every time he gets high, he remembers the night he lost one of his friends to the violence that overtook major American cities in the 1980s.
The amount of news about Nas within 24 hours about the 20th anniversary of Nas’ classic album Illmatic and Illmatic XX, a special 20th Anniversary Edition of the widely debated hip-hop classic via SONY Legacy that was released today is insane.
Nas is currently answering fans questions on Reddit's Ask Me Anything segment and on Twitter for #AskNas right now, at the same damn time.
The man is a machine.
