I mean the beat is bonkers the hook is classic and Nas lays down the track with some of his deepest lyrics ever I don't get why this song doesn't get much love like the other songs you could play this song at a club or in Harvard's library its diverse.

I BEEN SAYING THIS...SONG IS A BANGER...
IF THEY MADE A 2015 REMIX WITH DRAKE OR ROMEO SANTOS REPLACING GINUWINE...
IT WOULD BE OVER -
I like that song when I am gettin a ? or roughin up some girls So in that case it's a top 5 song by Nas
But otherwise when you want that lyrically poet mafioso ? it ain't -
I always thought it was a dope record.

Top 5? Big call

I've been in clubs where the DJ plays this and everybody rushes the dance floor.
For some reason Nas got a bad rap (no pun intended) in his Nastradamus days. I think its because when Illmatic came out he was a 20 year old kid from the projects talking about what he sees when he looks out his window. By the time I Am and Nastradamus came out he wasn't a 20 year old kid from the projects anymore, he had toured the globe and had a lot of life experience.
In other words, by the time Nastradamus came out he was living life in a different social circle and a lot of his Illmatic fans couldn't relate to what he was rapping about.
But he was annihilating mix tapes in that era. I remember on July 4, 1999 I was on Martha's Vinyard with one of my homies and he had a Nas mixtape that had some unreleased stuff. I can't say for sure if it was the same stuff from Lost Tapes but I can remember my homie saying that Nas was the illest MC. -
Yeah I knew Jay Z threw plenty shade at Nas for this track and I'm like why Jay was being a hypocrite.

Whats trolling bout it like I stated i didn't understand why the song got so many hated reviews and dislike from other rappers I think its cool song
-
"Yeah owe me back like you owe your rent
Owe me back like its money I spent"
"Yeah, owe me back like you owe your tax" - this line would come back to haunt Nas later in life.
Great song tho. -
Like the song but top 5 anything is absurd
-
I thought it was dope, i mean it's better than Nastradamus i hate that ? song.
-
"Yeah, owe me back like you owe your tax
Owe me back like forty acres to Blacks"
-
I put the shackles on your feet (You owe me)

Way, way more Nas songs than 4 are better than this.......let alone non-Nas joints.

Anyway decent track but top 5, nah mate. Nowhere close

I for one couldnt stop bumping "Come get me" on the same album so it actually took me awhile to get into owe me because come get me was such a heater.
