Fashawn doesn’t have much to prove when it comes to mic skills. But he took a huge leap when he decided to hop on this classic DJ Premier beat off of Illmatic. Some of you may frown on his take on the song considering it’s one of the best tracks from Nas’s magnum opus. I think he did an admirable job although he played Nas’s flow on it too closely. I’m sure that was his intention. With that said I would’ve loved to hear him make the song his own as he’s capable of doing so. Anyway, it’s a solid effort for the Fresno MC so it’s worth taking a look.
