Nas – Take It In Blood (w/ unreleased verses and chorus)

Nas – Take It In Blood (off ‘It Was Written’ album)

N.E.R.D. bites off Mobb Deep……hmmm?

I was listening to one of the new tracks off N.E.R.D. Nothing album and I kind of noticed a familiar melody. I want to say that the Neptunes have managed to recreate the melody from Mobb Deep’s “Give Up The Goods”.

The king of the south, the king of New York, the king of the west coast, the king of blah blah.

What Jay mentions at the beginning about having the mark on your back is true, but history says that most kings did not have the target on their back; rather it was the fear of the guillotine.

He was beheaded because of his war crimes during the civil war against Parliamentarians. Continue reading
