Voice I'll give you, but do you honestly think that ever since Illmatic, Nas never changed his flow up??!!
You don't like "Destroy and Rebuild?" Well, the beat may leave more to be desired, but I think it's one of the best songs on the album. It's a multi-layered diss song that works on three levels...
-It's a diss, but told in a storytelling style. -It's him paying homage to Slick Rick. -Even though he's scolding the dudes on there, it's more like if you're pops spanks that as. He's only doing it because he loves you, and you needed it. There's really a call for slidarity buried underneath all of this.
