  • tHe tRaNsIeNt

  • LONZO

    Wat?!? YN actually got 50snitchs’ dick out his mouth to write some shit for the website?

  • Meka Soul

    just when i was about to suggest “smilin’ billy suite.” you missed teena marie’s “square biz,” however.

  • pop a poppa

    fuck YN for havin’ a Jerry Heller ad on this bitch.

  • Enlightened

    YN-
    This has nothing to do with this blog but I thought maybe you might see this.

    WHY DON’T YOU AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIP-HOP (I heard Queen Latifah make the same mistake) KNOW THAT 2PAC AND BIGGIE ACTUALLY RECORDED THAT “RUNNIN” SONG TOGETHER?

    You said something in that Pac issue about Eminem having the nuts to put them on the same song together.

    Haven’t any of y’all “hip-hop heads” heard the original version with 2Pac, Biggie and the Outlaws? You should go check that out. I actually like that one better.

    Kastro starts it off first (“I ain’t got nothin on my mind but gettin in some trouble….”

  • RANDOMNAME

    1. One Love
    2. Take it in Blood
    3. Black Girl Lost
    4. On the Real
    5. You’re Da Man
    6. Life is Like a Dice Game
    7. It Was Written intro
    8. We Will Survive
    9. Honeymoon is Over
    10. Heaven
    11. Just a Moment

  • Jerz!

    The first minute of that Carol Douglas song is changing my lifffe right now lol.

  • Tspain

    i usually never comment, but shit like this is important. I am the biggest Nas fan you can find, and its important to see what music influenced Nasir and how he incorporated it into todays market to mae it relevant. Props to Escobar and the man who exposed these classic samples. GODSON forever. 1love.
