Friday Flashback - Nas-El-Matic Edition

Nas - "The World is Yours"

From one of the most important hip hip albums of the 90s, here is "The World is Yours" from the essential Illmatic by Nas.

The main reason why we decided to offer you this track as this week's Friday Flashback is because WE CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THE ELZHI MIXTAPE/TRIBUTE TO NAS' IILMATIC!!!! If you don't know what we're talking about, check out Turnbull's post about Elzhi's Elmatic mixtape. This is arguably the best mixtape of 2011...even though we are only half way through the year. Get it. Now.

Elzhi takes an already classic album, and adds his own Motor City-inspired perspective to it.  To take things up an level, he adds live instrumentation via live band Will Sessions, who have been quietly tearing up the Detroit music scene.
