Large Professor's "Gotta Get Over" remix. I don't think any of it was actual "freestyle" beyond telling Stretch, "Ya fuckin up, kid" after the record skips. I don't remember hearing the rhymes he kicked on that showing up anywhere else though. But it's been a while since I heard it.

It got to a point where BIG said "I aint fucking with dude". The word was you could tell Nas was freestyling because he was incorporating stuff from the room they were in.

That said I've never found him to be a compelling freestyler, but an amazing writer... perhaps the best in hip hop.
