Irv Gotti Has High Praise For This Nas Song

Irv Gotti shared in a podcast appearance what classic Nas record he believes is the high-water mark for the renowned Queens emcee. During an appearance on the Earn Your Leisure podcast, Gotti claimed that Nas released the best rap single ever with his 2002 hit "Made You Look."

“‘Made You Look’ may be the best Hip Hop record," the Murder Inc. founder stated. "He has the best Hip Hop album and the best Hip Hop single. The best Hip Hop record might be ‘Made You Look.'”

After it was suggested that Nas and Lauryn Hill's 1996 single "If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)” could be better, Irv dismissed the idea.
