from Nas – Rewind Lyrics on Rap Genius

Nas is referring to backmasking, a process in which a record is played backwards and a sound or message is audible, as if it was played forward. Backmasking was first popularized by The Beatles on the album Revolver (Also, see: Paul is dead)

At around the the 1980’s, when metal was first becoming popular, a heavy metal band might backmask a satanic message onto a track. This became controversial matter. Ever since, backmasking is still used by some musicians.
