One Of Nas' Greatest Verses

-NAS-

Your skin’s a travelling bag of your existence /
Yours is shabby and scabbed while mine’s glistening /
Vivid on my skin how many continents I visited /
You can journey with me to different places by listenin' /
Shittin’ on ‘em /
Yo brother got it covered /
We can slug it, knuckle it /
However you want it, I love it /
A hustler’s wit /
The grit, the grime /
My genetic code makeup: murder by design /
On Mayan calandar time /
When night meets day I’m in the light gray /
Bigotti like a high speed chase /
Adrenaline like jogging or jumping rope in place /
Muhammed Ali hobbies, no pilates /
Trying to keep the ocean by me /
Hit a rich man’s wife, see what the b!tch could buy me /
looking forward but it’s nice to see the road behind me /
hotels are 7 star, vignettes glowin’ /
keep ya lids yet dog, the private jet goin’ topless

-NAS-

...look at that opening.  "Your skin's a travelling bag for your existence".  What other rapper would come up with some shit that ill?   I really think Nas steps his Game up when he is rhyming for a Dr. Dre project like this one.  Another one of his greatest verses is from "East Coast Killah/West Coast Killah" off the Aftermath Presents album.

Yeah, it's a good verse from a good song. I still wanna hear a version with Dr. Dre. "Topless" was the best leaked song from "Detox".
 

Action!

fuck kelis
Cool breeze; I'm hopping out of new Beams
My outfit ran me a few G's but none of that will matter if you leave
I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
Recline, in the mean time, twenty three shine, diamond bling blind as I rewind

Yeah.. when it's complete it's going to be a Monster.  Dre will probably step up the sound quality on the beat a little bit, maybe add an element or two as well.  Then with his vocals it will all fit.

..which Kurupt video is that in your sig?  is that "new york, new york"?

Yeah, I love that verse. The whole song is great, T.I. did his thing too. While I don't really feel that his style fits on a Dre record, Dre spitting that verse would be the shit. I really do hope we get to hear the track in it's final version, only leaked track Detox worthy.

BTW my biggest rap dream is to have a full Nas cd produced by Dre. He also killed the Busta Big Bang joint:

I'm the enigma, there is none harder, smarter
Martyr, Godfather, my interest, your departure
Pardon Dre this beat is a monster, catchy
Like sleepin under open windows that's drafty
Then wakin up my throat scratchy, that's how I spit it nasty
They short, a few inches North of a dwarf
My flow's Murciélago, ghostin them narcos
Toast in the ways of the original Pablos
Still a pyramid architect, mix liquors like a chemist
Killer lyricist, poetical tyrant
Sneaker store terrorist, Mt. Everest I climbed it
Heat is drawn, no creepin on me whenever I'm bent
My mind spray, my nine spray
And freak styles like 3000 Andre
To keep pilin, keep pushin them drops
Nas, runnin with hot Busta Bust, we don't stop

No doubt.. I had forgotten about this one.  I'm not a Busta fan, but I remember this joint was blazin!  Also, Nas rocked the Dre/Game track "Hustlaz" from the Hip-Hop Is Dead Album. 

And about your dream of having a Nas album produced by Dre, that's a dream of mine too.  You could say that the Firm album was the closest thing to it.  "Phone Tap" was a Monster and overall the album was solid, however for a Nas/Dre project it wasn't the perfection we would expect and demand.  Maybe a solo Nas' album produced by Dre would generate the kind of perfection we're looking for.

I prefer Shit Popped Off personally. Far superior beat. Shame it lacks that Nas verse. That verse is definitely Detox worthy.

this is not going to happen in a million years.
if Detox isn't coming, then why would a demo song be remade & released?
it's like believing the American dream

Brian is only saying this b/c Dre produced the beat.  This is a dope far from one of Nas's greatest verses let alone one of the greatest of all time.  IMO Nas and Dre together except for a couple of tracks have always been extremely underwhelming.
