NAS IT WAS WRITTEN 1996 COLUMBIA FIRST US PRESS
NOTES:   RARE AND HARD TO FIND ORIGINAL 1996 PRESSING! ABSOLUTELY INFORMED & CONSCIOUS FLOW...BOTH POETIC & STREETWISE GRITTY = GENIUS. No denying the lyrical power & delivery on Nas' 1996 release. The absolutely ESSENTIAL JOINT "STREET DREAMS" to the TRANSCENDANT PUNCH OF "BLACK GIRL LOST/SUSPECT/SHOOTOUTS" ON SIDE 2 PROVES NAS' RIGHTEOUS SPOT IN HIP HOP. Absolutely ESSENTIAL FOR COLLECTORS or CASUAL FANS.  Here is a NICE PLAYING ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING with some varying light background artifacts mostly OVERPOWERED BY MUSIC. SOLID CLEAN COVER IN ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP, COMPLETE WITH THE HYPE STICKER ON THE FRONT & THE ORIGINAL PRINTED LYRIC INNER SLEEVE. The cover has a bit of storage wear & rippling from at the open edge from being in the wrapper but otherwise it is CLEAN & BEAUTIFUL.  THIS ONE SIMPLY DOESN'T COME UP FOR SALE OFTEN...DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!
