Welcome to another episode of "1 Jewel, 1 Verse". Where Hip-Hop Hidden Gems takes a deep dive into a special verse.
Who is the greatest rapper of all time? That is a question that has started many debates.
Everyone has an opinion, and many of these opinions clash. However there are a hand full of rappers who are sure to be in that conversation.
Nas is one of those names.
So how did the Hidden Gems crew sneak a song by Nasir Jones onto their podcast? It's pretty simple really. Have you heard the song "Last Words" before? Probably not. The track off of Nas' 1999 album Nastradamus has seemed to be forgotten in time, but deserves another look. It is a true example of a M.C. worthy of being considered the GOAT.

Not many, if any, straddle the line between obscurity and royalty like Chino XL. For many Chino is one of the best lyricist to ever touch a microphone. For others he is just the guy that Tupac dissed at the end of "Hit Em Up".
He is Hip-Hop's forgotten son. (Maybe)
He is also a Hip-Hop legend. (Definitely)
Hip-Hop Hidden Gems podcast is back with a full length episode, and it is action packed! Join TheMoJoKing & Willie Freeman as they discuss the thin line between success & "selling out". Following that discussion the focus turns onto the great and misunderstood Chino XL.
