NY State of Mind vs. 4th Chamber

Another GZA-Nas showdown. These are my favorite songs from their respective albums, and while I definitely prefer Liquid Swords to Illmatic, NY State of Mind is probs my favorite rap evar.

I like 4th chamber more as a stand alone song but NY State of Mind within the context of the album more with the Genesis giving it that extra boost.

gza takes this one again.

NY State of Mind for this match up. But if it were my favorite Liquid Swords song (Swordsman) vs. my favorite Illmatic song (Life's a Bitch) I'd choose Swordsman.

i've always wondered, is that phrase 'life's a bitch and then you die' from that song, or does it predate it?

My mom says it, so I doubt Nas inveted it.

If Life's a Bitch were an option I would have voted for Nas (or rather for AZ).

I dunno, why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept?
