    • “Nas Is Like” “Nas Is Like” is a classic hip-hop track from Nas‘ 1999 album I Am… that epitomizes the artist’s lyrical prowess and clever wordplay. The track features a sample of the 1966 hit song “What Now My Love” by Sonny and Cher, and Nas’ rhymes feature dense lyrics that are full of double entendres.

    • 'The World Is Yours' "Whose world is this?" Pete Rock asks in the chorus. Nas responds "it’s mine." It’s a reference to Scarface, to which this song and its accompanying music video both pay homage.
    • 'The Message' Even if you’re not a big Nas fan (for some reason), you might know "The Message." It’s the opening song on It Was Written but it’s more well known for being a song that offended 2Pac enough to diss Nas.
