At this time, everyone (EVERYONE) was either saying Nas was the next big thing, the Second Coming of Rakim, or the GOAT. SUPER popular in any hip hop head circle once Illmatic got round.

Astrological Level: Nas, yo, be real Son! The time has come! He’s literally being the God’s SUN, The SUN IS the Center of Attraction. He’s saying how he emulates this ONE attribute of Allah.

This line is sampled as a part of the hook in “The Rise And Fall” by Nas.

Noreaga gets word to Mega (fellow Queensbridge affiliate Cormega), that the District Attorney has video evidence of the caper (robbery) that was pulled and tells him to find the snitch.

The person on the tape is referred to as ‘God’ which is a term for ‘man’, made popular by the 5 Percent Nation religion.

Again, he references the Supreme Alphabet, by spelling the word ‘Gun’.
(G) – God
(U) – Universe
(N) – Now

When you are young, you can’t fucking wait for the future and you fear it at the same time. But once you get there, you regret it. Especially someone like Logic who once they enter the public eye will be remembering all the stupid shit they did as a child

Very clever wordplay on the first line: Women are promiscuous and don’t respect their bodies because they know the truth about society: it doesn’t give them many options outside of prostitution and crime. The truth also “sucks”, suckling at these women’s breasts. Breastfeeding brings up the image of a mother, who understands the real importance of her body and thus has true knowledge.

His real name is Bobby but to be Logic he must shed that persona and take up a new one, which is hard. He’s been chasing this dream since a child (his rap name was Skittlez)

The evidence is right before your eyes

• The Quasi War, 1798 to 1800. Between the French and Americans.

• The Northwest Indian War, 1785 to 1795. Between the Native American tribes in the Northwest Territory and the Americans.

• The First Barbary War, 1801 to 1805. Between the Americans and the Northwest African Berber Muslims.

• Tecumseh’s War, August to November 1811. Between Tecumseh’s confederacy and the Americans.

• War of 1812, June 18, 1812 – March 23, 1815. Between US and British Empire

• Algerian War (Second Barbary War), 1815, Between the Ottoman Empire’s North African regencies of Tripoli, Tunis, and Algeria known collectively as the Barbary states and the Americans.

• Seminole War, November 22, 1817 – April 12, 1818. Approximately. First of many between Seminoles and Americans.

And this was just within the first 60 years of our Nation’s existence.

This is a sample of Kanye West’s “Touch The Sky”.

Logic’s mistakes helped define him and make this song, even though he is now trying to be better than the things from his youth he raps about.

Cooking as in the dance BUT ALSO as in cooking up meals cuz there are bitches present.
