Put this against any song, any genre, any time period and it holds it's own.
Perfect song.
This is the essence of Hip-Hop.

You can't flip a Hip-Hop record and make it purely soul or reggae.
Thats the greatness of Hip-Hop, it is the ultimate amalgamation of sounds. The apex of musical technology.
The lyricism brought to the table by a true MC is what puts Hip-Hop over the top for me.
The profound social commentary on Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" can be summed up by Nas in two lines.
That's powerful.

Seriously...what the f_ is going on in these songs?
How could a teenager even create some s_ like this?
It's like an musical movie and every scene is saying something heavy...yet its cohesively enjoyable on a purely entertainment level.
S_ still blows my mind 20 years later.
I think we really take for granted what we�had�(should have) in Hip-Hop.
