This song by Nas is the first one I can remember hearing by him on a regular basis, and it was also the song that initially put him on my radar. Once I got to college and had access to a screaming fast Internet connection and Napster, this was definitely an early download that I targeted. Funny enough, I actually still have the computer I used at the time back at my mom’s house in Michigan, all 133 MHz of it. Unfortunately, as one might expect, I have not had any luck with firing it up.
