No Bars Off - Is This Nas verse Still Ill?

"Shootouts" is one of those hood narratives that placed Nasir Jones on the Pantheon of emceeing. The clear picture-painting and the specific details that made up this ghetto tale were unmatched. Does this vivid story hold up today?

Show notes

This week, Sha Stimuli and Boardwalk Brown revisit Nas' hood classic "Shootouts" and see how well it has aged over the last few decades. Does this vivid story from the late nineties hold up today? Is it still as dope as it was then?

Topics discussed:

  1. Multi-syllabic patterns & imagery
  2. Thematic depth and the characters we identify with
  3. How it stacks up against Nas classics
