Nas

Released: November 30, 2004

[Nas]
Alright, are you sure

[Kelis]
Yeah, I'm sure
So wait, you're telling me there's no-
You can't think of anybody
In your past, in your dirty dark crazy past (Nas laugh)
So if I gave you a free pass, you wouldn't wanna do them just one last time

[Nas]
No

[Kelis]
Come on

[Nas]
No

[Kelis]
I don't believe you, all them-
All them bitches?
I'm serious, okay I'm saying you have
Before we get married you have one free pass
I don't need to know about it

[Nas]
Mhm...

[Kelis]
But it's one girl, there's one girl that you had in the past that you could say
"You know what? Let me hit that one more time"

[Nas]
Ah, I can't really think of nobody
Definitely ain't nobody 'cause I've been there, done that
You know, let me go through it

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, known to one and all as Nas, is one of hip-hop’s best-known, most mercurial, and lyrically blessed figures ever to touch the microphone. Since his heart-stopping debut turn on Main Source’s “Live at the Barbeque,” Nas has delivered countless beautifully structured, thought-provoking, keenly observed verses.

Growing up in Queens, NY, Nas never really performed in big crowds—he kept to himself. Nas used a different type of vernacular that others didn’t understand, which helped him to stand out from other rappers from his era.

With every ensuing album, Nas always reminds fans that he’s still the same Queensbridge MC who crafted one of the greatest albums of all time, and arguably the bible of Hip-Hop, Illmatic.
