Lyrics:
It ain’t hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin’ a sniper’s breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shining, sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket linin’
Hit the Earth like a comet—invasion!
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian: half-man, half-amazin’
‘Cause in my physical I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drink Moët with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale; it ain’t hard to tell
The buddha monk’s in your trunk, turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop
Place your loot up, parties I shoot up
Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
School a fool well, you feel it like Braille
It ain’t hard to tell, I kick a skill, like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills, I’m Ill plus Matic
I freak beats, slam it, like Iron Sheik
Jam like a TEC with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can’t magmatize me
Scannin’ while you’re plannin’ ways to sabotage me
I leave ’em froze, like heroin in your nose
Nas will rock well; it ain’t hard to tell
This rhythmatic explosion
Is what your frame of mind has chosen
I’ll leave your brain stimulated, niggas is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it’s deep? Well, let me try again
Wisdom be leakin’ out my grapefruit, troop
I dominate break loops, givin’ mics men-e-strual cycles
Street’s disciple, I rock beats that’s mega trifle
And groove even smoother than moves by Villanova
You’re still a soldier, I’m like Sly Stone in Cobra
Packin’ like a Rasta in the weed spot
Vocals will squeeze Glocks
MCs eavesdrop, though they need not to sneak
My poetry’s deep, I never fell
Nas’ raps should be locked in a cell; it ain’t hard to tell
I was recently on Twitch again. I wrote that Illmatic is probably the best rap album of all time. And I got the answer: "Not even in the top ten" Can you believe that?
'Tec-9s are notorious for jamming, due to their large magazine capacities, and poor quality.
They are so unreliable that they have a tendency to jam even when the user is not “limp wristing” the piece, hence the reference that they jam even when utilizing correct technique.' —— Source: Genius
NAS IS TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE FOR SUEE. I might even say top 3. You can't deny how many good so ga he had. He's the best storyteller for sure. He has songs where he did things no one ever would think of, like having a song where its from the the guns perspective. He does one where he starts the story from the end and tells it backwards to the start! Best to ever do or. Poet
How clever was this beat and using mj sample just so clever nas is a real pleasure to listen to I used to play this loud in the Renault 5 turbo on a cruise just too good his music
The amount of concise, back-to-back, witty, humorous, silent but increasingly verbose poetry spit in this one single track is humanely unbelievable. There will probably never ever ever be a second ‘Nas’. Ever. You can’t imitate this stuff. No one can. Not even em. Or Kendrick. Or chief. No one
Greatest sampled beat ever.

My All time Favorite Nas is more than a Rapper! #Prophet
Shouts to large pro

The only way this song could be any better is if the Human Nature arpeggio sample was louder.
probably the Best Hip Hop Album ever made "Illmatic"
