Rozay and 3 Stacks kill it on this 8 minute conceptual masterpiece. Perhaps my favorite track on the album.
"Does your mama know you see me, does she know you're freaky?
Does she ever wonder if it's 'bout ya I am speaking?
Do you ever ponder where I'm at when you get sleepy?
How the hell I'm gonna tell the youth don't be me?
Yeaaaah"
Life is Good likewise deserves some love. Crazy to think Illmatic was released nearly 20 years ago, Nas has been in the game for as long as I've been alive. Echoes from Amy Winehouse come through on 'Cherry Wine'. Give it a listen and go for a ride.
"Where is he
The man who was just like me
I heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see
Where is he
The man who was just like me
Heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see
And I’m alone and I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I’m alone and I realize when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry"
We miss you, Amy. - Typosh
