Title: Nas's greatest moment
Post by: TheSheriff on March 05, 2003, 10:00:07 AM
"I Can"

This shit a) make me bump b) makes me think c) gets a lump in my throat

This is his finest moment. This is his time. East Coast has been taking over for a while, and songs like this have proved Nas to be Biggie's successor to the NY Throne.

It's a good song, far from Nas' greatest moment, though. The hook is kinda corny but lyrics are great. Inspring it is too.

It's a dope beat, and Nas is dope on it, but the chorus is FUCKIN' ANNOYING!

And the beat is more or less bitten, they just added a bassline to it, even if I cant remember where I heard it..
Typical MTV-track though..

nas brightest moment = ILLMATIC

The beat is just a classical interpolation. Last I checked, hip hop was created using sampling. And it's a very good sample. And hey, what's wrong with commercialism? It sounds good. And I like the chorus.

And I like Illmatic, but Stillmatic and God's Son are better albums, to me.

To clear this up: The beat is a interpolation of Beethoven's classic composition "Fur Eilse", the producers just looped it and added a bassline and drums.

I dont listen to classical music, except when it was thrown at me in elementary-school.
That's where you belong.

I've never been a Nas fan and probably never will be, but I really liked the lyrics on this song. The beat is pretty standard but the message is inspiring and I like the way he talks about really complex history on that third verse, even thought the whole intonation in his flow is to appeal to kids. Very clever, gets a thumbs up frum me

I remember someone laughin at me for calling this a street anthem, but shit it's true, the lyrics are gritty and thought provoking, they appeal to real people who have real problems, but people think it's all poppy and shit 'cos of the hook which is BS. If he can get MTV appeal with this song thats great because it has REAL meaning and it's about time more stuff like this charted.
