This line was dropped in the intro of "Purple" in Lost Tapes (released in Sept, 2002).
This was only 3 years after "Hate Me Now" was released in 1999 ft Puff.
Nas always kept it real in his music… Always!
😌 It didn’t work 🏆 CHAMPIONS!
Salute to Filipino Brunson for starring in the Jabroni’s Pizza commercial

Regan (possessed by the Devil in The Exorcist) would have probably had Ed thrown out the window.
Lorraine would have gotten stuck in a medium and never recovered! It would have been dreadful/surgical… Anything far from biblical.
• 7-24 - LeBron joins the Sixers $4 mill a year.
• 8-12 - Lakers get resold for $12 billion.
It’s not just ring chasing, there’s something else going on. A lot of conspiracy theories floating around, but this just seems real out of nowhere.
It was such a pleasure to listen to Rich, Legs and the legendary Mike Breen throughout the Finals…
Then at Halftime and postgame you get the Finals debut coverage of the iconic Inside the NBA!
On top of the Knicks championship, you can watch these Finals over and over again with no skips like a classic album.
It was against the Bobcats… But don't tell nobody 😌
Expect to see a long tribute video for the Knicks former 2nd round Big Man, class of 2018.
213 days away from now, early game on a Sunday afternoon on ABC (DST starts that day as well).
• 2nd most points scored in Knicks history
• OG Anunoby and Randle were out for that game (in San Antonio)
• Knicks lost in OT (Still beat the Spurs for the NBA Cup & NBA championship) Knicks in 5!!!!!
I remember watching the 2024 semifinals, Game 2 (MIN vs. DEN) and seeing the Wolves WITHOUT Gobert absolutely shut down the defending champions.
That’s probably some of the best swarming team defense you’ll ever see in today’s NBA.
Wolves should have tried to keep that duo of Ant & KAT together, but I’m happy they didn’t. 🤣
That’s what makes this Knicks championship so special! The Birthplace of Hip-Hop never got a real chance to celebrate this glory until now. The 94’ Finals was the closest the Knicks got…
Hip hop was just being conceived when the Knicks were in their last title winning season. But now, Hip-Hop is all grownup, 53 years old! 🏆
Everyone has either criticized their boss and/or had to criticize someone as the boss… Whether it be boss at your job or in your own family.
GF2 has multiple storylines (past and present) intertwined throughout the film.
But the storyline of Michael Corleone being the boss of bosses is the focal part; all the challenges he has to manage. It continuously makes the movie-watcher ask themselves "what would I do in that situation?"
Most people have NEVER and will NEVER be in those situations, which is a big reason why this classic is timeless.
