spideymayne Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Twelve years old the first time I heard this. This is back when everybody had a dub of this tape and barely anybody went out and copped the actual CD. I remember watching The Box after school, waiting for this joint to come on, and knowing there was a good chance: everybody was still high off pete rock mania from the previous two years. (down with the king was major. everybody was playing that shit in school just the year before this song.)

LPrism Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - Whats even more impressive is he wrote NY State of Mind at 17 years old. When I think of 17 year old rappers now, I think of the new boyz. I'm not dissing the younger generation, but its funny to compare that difference.
