It Aint Hard To Tellhard to really choose bit it ain't hard to tell is my favorite song period. the mj sample just brings everything together beautifully and nas was just in rare form on this track imho
-
Memory LaneWord to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace.-
When I first heard that ? I was awe. How could someone write like this in 94 much less being 19 -
Memory Lane^^ Thats the ? that ? my head up everytime I listen to the album, how tf is he saying all this ? at 19 with that level of lyricism? smh
-
One LoveI voted for "One Love" we used to stand around in ciphers talking about Nas's 3rd verse in "One Love" and how ill it was. He really upped the ante for MCing with that song. And the beat was bangin!!!
-
The World Is YoursThat is crazy that he was only 17-19 while making this album
-
Life's A ?Life's A ? and then you die.

Not only is that song the best on the album from a production standpoint (love that beat), but of all the songs on that album Represent has the most energy. ? still gets me hyped when i play it.

Life's A ?visualizin the realsm of life and actuality / f--- who's the baddest.. a person's status depends on salary / and my mentality is, money orientated / I'm destind to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it cause yeah..we were beginners in the hood as five percenters / but somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners / now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin / others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition...
^ AZ carried his with the GOAT -
Memory LaneMemory Lane
Life's A ? in a close second -
Memory Lane^^On the flipside I think it was Nas' idea to add the "ooooooohhh" sample to Memory Lane.

The World Is YoursI'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from home
-
Life's A ?Even tho NY state of mind has one of the Epic beats EVER, the world is yours is a beautiful song, and it ain't hard to tell he spit some monsterous ? on there........I still get the same feeling for 20 years everytime i hear lifes a ? ......but trust i don't argue with anybodys opinion on this topic.....just shows how timeless this album is
