Streaming Audio/Download Link: Nas - Last Real Nigga Alive Pt. 2 (Power, Paper, Pussy)(Dirty)(NO DJ)
CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Previously released last weekend as both a DJ "tagged" and later an all-curses-scrubbed version, I opted to Aaron Rodgers pass on those premature offerings and simply wait for the internet to do what it do ... lol. My confidence in the World Wide Web's (NOTE: "World Wide Web"! Of course we ALL know what "www." stands for but, how creepy and eerily Orwellian does that sound when NOT abbreviated and actually written all the way out?) ability to self-regulate and respond to the online market's rabid demands for C.ompact D.isc Q.uality records was promptly rewarded when the official "Dirty" version of this Nas "Last Real Nigga Alive Pt. 2 (Power, Paper, Pussy)" dropped yesterday. And all was right with the world.
For all of his near career shattering missteps, all it takes is a classic Herb Alpert horn loop, a sparse "Boom Bap" drum that would make the always bitter Krs-1 proud and precisely 1 minute and 17 seconds of his time to remind us ALL why Mr. "Nasty to Nas, Nas to Escobar" can NEVER be counted out of the "Greatest Rapper Of All Time" discussion. Listen and L.O.V.E. it!

BONUS:
While immediately upon pressing play any music fan worth his or her weight in vinyl will recognize this songs unique capacity to "Hypnotize" the crowd, follow the sample brick road a bit further to fully appreciate the sublime Jazz-Fusion trumpet of Herb Alpert on his 1979 Billboard #1 instrumental hit "Rise" that was deftly utilized for this new Nas track. Know the ledge!
