[Dr Doom]

So I read the first 25 than skimmed through the rest but man, this is a shitty list.

[Jack Roller]

They think Still Not a Player is Big Pun's best song? Yeah.

[DOOM@ALL_CAPS]

ain't no ***** made it

nuff said

[Capo]

As usual they did a good job at including some songs and a bad job at including some songs. Their top 20 is also all out of whack.

[Agent Zero]

I made it to 50, i gave up after i saw My Name Is on the list.

[False Profit]

I'll say it like I said it. The fact that The Choice Is Yours is number 4 because of some shitty car commercials makes this whole list invalid.

[KidFlash]

Doom make a thread about Complex's list of Nas' 100 best sogs

[False Profit]

Doom make a thread about Complex's list of Nas' 100 best sogs


Why can't you do it? Can't live without somebody else's e-impact and e-influence? Wanna see what somebody else says before you form an opinion?

[Jack Roller]

I'll say it like I said it. The fact that The Choice Is Yours is number 4 because of some shitty car commercials makes this whole list invalid.

I thought about those fucking rodents too. lol

[False Profit]

I thought about those fucking rodents too. lol

and before anyone starts saying I don't know what I'm talking about, or talking about how certain artists couldn't sign to Def Jam because they didn't sound like Dres and Lawng.....

1. Strobelite Honey was a waay bigger single than this.

B. This version of the song wasn't even on the album. The commercial is the REMIX. This version was released as a single. I know becaus I got it on vinyl. The beat to the original sucked.

3. I switched from letters to numbers and back to give haters somethign to complain about.

4. There is no 4.

[Dr Doom]

I just got a call from your doctor False, he wants you to start taking your medication again.

[KidFlash]

Why can't you do it? Can't live without somebody else's e-impact and e-influence? Wanna see what somebody else says before you form an opinion?

Nah I'm not gonna do it because I don't give a fuck, maybe y'all helpless Nas fans did.
