Nas Sampling Himself

[Sun Tzu, Tha Soul Controllah]

yea because Turntablism is a part of hip hop and that's Premo's signature sound to cut a chorus from a artist's old catalog

Honestly there is nothing wrong with even saying the line like in Nas' Theif's Theme because it fit the theme & made u think of that ol Nasty Nas shit

so all this dumbness about "uncreativity" is retarded

its kinda hard for Big L to 'bite' himself for the big picture when he was dead, hence why so much of the album is made up of his freestyles if u get Harlems Finest, and there is a major difference between sampling and biting not just wotever same thing, sampling is crediting and most often sampling the original cut from the originator of the line,biting is takin sum shit and passing it off as ur own, big diff

[NAKHI the SOLORIAN]

this is such a funny topic..


I would rather see Nas sample himself than anyone else cause he is one of the illest plus, Rakim used to do it all the time.


I feel as though that they are so good it would be a travesty if they sampled anyone else.

Im just pointing that out i dont care, i love nas (no homo) but im just pointing taht out
