Enjoyed this reaction video.. took me back to the first time I heard it. The streets was buzzing about the new Nas track. Me and my homeboy stayed up the whole night before the album release like they do for sneakers nowadays.. Watching a dice game in the rain.. we found $40-50 in wet tens and twenties left by older-heads playing celo arguing drunk in the rain.. so we both each copped the tape and the newly introduced CD that AM (Summer 96).. Listened to the whole album immediately - dumb tired.
