Ya know what I'm sayin' big Nas?

Why is it, that "Memory Lane (Sittin' in Da Park)" off Nas' Illmatic is probably my -- how should I say this -- favoritist hip-hop song ever. Each time I listen to it, I think this. Why? I've heard people, throughout time, talk about how great Illmatic is, and it is, but no one's ever going on and on about this song. It sounds like it could've been the theme song to A Bronx Tale or something. Or Jane's theme song. The smooth, melodic tone of that woman or man in the background is straight out of that borough. Whenever I want to feel cool, I want to listen to this song. I guess I just need to spruce up my hip-hop intake. Will do. As long as blood is blue in my vain, I'll keep honest to that.
