Nas - "I Can"
Popped on one of my playlists at random this morning and this song came on. I remember the first time I heard it and thought, "Damn, this is gonna be one of those songs that last forever." The message throughout is fantastic and the Beethoven sample serves as the perfect background for Nas to give words to the youth. The kids singing on the chorus puts the icing on the cake. Just an outstanding, thought provoking and uplifting song from one of the greatest MCs to ever do it. "If the truth is told/The youth can grow/They'll learn to survive until they gain control/Nobody says you have to be gangstas, hoes/Read more, learn more, change the globe." Says it all.
