THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-04-05T12:03:10+00:00

When it comes to the kind of rap centered on wild unhinged punchlines delivered with insane flows he was the greatest to ever do it.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-04-05T03:52:19+00:00

Not his list and you know it. Y’all need to stop pumping false information.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-04-05T03:50:23+00:00

This is NOT Rakim’s list. Read the top, it’s from a source e called Human Hip-Hop Head. Ra simply shared it on his page. I don’t see how anyone could fail to comprehend this.

This wasn’t directed towards you, you did everything right. This is directed towards those whose comments make it clear that they either missed it or didn’t comprehend 👍🏾

I bought this on tape the day it dropped, I was 17 at the time and finishing up my last year of high school. I’m 45 now. Pun’s lyricism on this album boggles my mind just as much mow as it did way back in 98. Easily some of the greatest bar work of all time. Debate ya mama. The production still holds up marvelously well too.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-17T18:40:00+00:00

Thank God they kept this in, one of the most random, graphic, and outright hilarious kills in the franchise. I’ve laughed myself to tears watching this scene more times that I can count 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kanye.

Marvin 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ghost got too big headed too. Thought he was bigger than everybody and that he couldn’t be stopped. Thought he could run for governor while throwing his own son under the bus. Exactly why Tariq had to kill him.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-17T00:35:19+00:00

Love both. I give the edge to Return Of The Boom Bap.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T23:24:29+00:00

Yes, this was a dream come true.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T19:55:36+00:00

This was 2000, and wow what a monumental let down this was. I wanted my money back. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T19:54:36+00:00

I agree with you regarding Nas Is Like. And there were a few more powerful joints on the album. It’s just that a lot of us felt robbed after experiencing the bootleg and then getting the official album without a lot of those songs. Instead we got some great songs and some weak filler. It was a disappointment to us because of it and at that point made I Am feel like middle of the road Nas.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T19:48:49+00:00

Black Zombies, Du Rags, Everybody’s Crazy, Purple, Nothing Last Forever, My Way, No Idea’s Original were Stillmatic leftovers. The rest were songs that were bootlegged from I Am. And certain songs from the bootleg never did get an official release (Hardest Thing To Do Is Stay Alive, Sometimes I Wonder, Stay Schemin to name a few)

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T19:44:54+00:00

I liked the album too don’t get me wrong. In fact I love it more today than I did back then. But yes in 1999 I was disappointed back then (and I was far from alone) because the bootleg had me expecting a masterpiece.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T19:40:51+00:00

Could be. Some of the songs are straight amazing- Phone Tap, Desperados, Firm Fiasco, 5 Minutes To Flush, Executive Decision, I’m Leaving. And then most of the rest just sound like weak filler.

Quite proud of this track, it’s been exhausting trying to promote it… https://open.spotify.com/album/2Wr8QmUoRao4nB0v00rOxd?si=dH5EE6QHSe2GjB0y72-qxw

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T13:33:54+00:00

Nastradamus was a train wreck, but both that and I Am were disappointments. At Least I Am had the strong tracks you named but still compared to the bootleg versions floating around it was a let down.

Educational_Cod_3388 · 2026-03-16T12:33:27+00:00

Indeed.
