Yesterday, Nas’ Time Is Illmatic documentary hit the theaters in Los Angeles and New York so why not celebrate Throwback Thursday with a Nas “Illmatic” cut?

Automatic 5. Remember those days when rugged singles like this dropped? Those were the days. Now you got bullshit chicks singing hooks or the rapper singing on some pop, techno shit, autotune..etc.
You a fool if you think that’s a girl on the hook. I hope you’re joking. And it’s not a hook anyway. It’s Michael Jackson’s voice sampled from Human Nature….SMH. Do some homework first.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your countless classics and contributions to the most beautiful music ever created. Nas+Large Professor=PURE GENIUS. Tell me everyone noticed the “Human Nature” sample. Awesome. NAS, WHY DID YOU DO IT?
Dopest shit I’ve ever heard, love Nas, king of the east, real and ill as it gets, and some of the best storytellin in a track I’ve ever ever heard, not to mention quaity diss tracks!!! NASTY NAS IN YOR AREA!!!
donate cash for my version of the pre-birth, birth, life, death and afterlife of jesus christ and what religion is. based on a true story its a mixture of divine comedy and the bible(all versions).
