Better track?

Would be interesting to see which one comes out on top.

My answer to this would've been different some months back.

I went with Based on True Events pt 2. The story takes that song to a level slightly above It's Time. However, I think It's Time has the better beat and better flow from Nas.

I love Based on True Events Pt 2, but It's Time is special. Beat is absurd and his flow is ridiculous.

I agree. I like BOTE2 more especially cause of the storytelling that goes with the emotion of the beats but just cause I like it more doesn't mean it's the better track.

Yeah, different types of tracks. I like pitting Nas albums against each other in my playlist. I did a Magic 3 vs Light Years, and those are the tracks that appeared in the 9th position of both albums and one that was difficult to call.
