from the new illmatic. i've seen it with cormega on it on the tracklistings of bootlegs. but cormega's not on this, for obvious reasons. first verse is the old one ("that verse was ten years old! nine and a half years old!") slightly modified (he changes the car from a gs-series lexus to a phantom and says gat instead of gun and it's "up in the trunk, plasma" instead of "up in the marriott") and two new, amazing verses that are seriously as good as anything he's ever done. and that beat, too!

TEN YEARS-- NEVER BEEN DONE THIS REAL BY NOBODY!!!

this is one of the unreleased songs from the 10th anniv illmatic re-issue.

it's a song that's been around for a while, though. it has been modified and has new verses. the beat is by marley marl.

I always wonder what Nas means exactly when he talks about "crab niggas". possible definitions:

guys who gave Nas crabs
some kind of grotesque half-man/half-crustacean creatures
people in Maryland

why would Nas be talking about Crips back in '94, when presumably he had not spent any significant amount of time in LA?

crabs = bitin'

ghost was always talking about crab-ass niggas too.
