I mean...first off, Nas and Wordsmith both riped this song from the Wiz. Ripping from old songs has happened since the beginning of the Rap era. They both sound good and obviously were not trying to copy one another. Who cares?? They both rock the speakers so stop beatin' a dead horse and enjoy the music. I don’t understand the big deal here.

FUCK THIS SHIT...I got both these dudes beat, cuz I recorded this track in 2002, released on VARIOUS west coast mixtapes and a compilation album in 2004 by DJ DEMON called "SAN DIEGO COLLEAGUES".
