Nas Breaks Down Illmatic With Rapgenius

Nas broke down his entire Illmatic album with RapGenius for a very interesting read. Check it out here, and read an excerpt below.

On "The World Is Yours":

Nas says: Pete had a way of doing his beats, and he was Pete Rock, so I didn’t wanna interfere that much. But I had “It’s Yours” in my head, and I thought it would sound ill. At the last minute, he fit it in there, I think at the mix. I didn’t know how he was gonna fit it in there, but it was perfect how he did it.
