Thank you, yes you are right, this is hit tightest verse in my mind... I first heard it on "I Am" and then I just had to track it down...

Post by: Cliche on November 04, 2001, 07:31:33 PM: yeah nas is pretty weak on Salute me... i hate swiss cheese... check out Got Yourself A Gun and The Main Event.. much better new stuff.

Live At The BBQ is classic!

He's also got some other stuff floating around like "Life Is Like A Dice Game" from the radio...

The song is called, "Back to the Grill Again" and it's blazin. MC Search is a whiteboy and was in the group 3rd Bass back in the day. He brought Nas into the game and mentored him through "Illmatic."

Post by: teecee on November 05, 2001, 05:52:46 AM: Infinite: That 3rd Bass shit was dope, but it was Live at The BBQ that had the whole industry take notice with disbelief.

Post by: Cliche on November 05, 2001, 05:56:46 AM: Serch only got some $ from the first album as far as i know...

yeah there's another pre-illmatic Nas track called "Back To The Grill Again" with MC Serch, Chubb Rock & Red Hot Lover Tone... it's ill.

as for Got Yourself A Gun and The Main Event.. they're new mixtape joints... very nice.. Got Yourself A Gun has a sopranos sample for a hook.. there's some other stuff out but these two are the cream to me...
