Nas once said on his “Got Yourself A Gun song,” “My first album had no famous guest appearances. The outcome? I’m crowned the best lyricist.” While that’s definitely true, there were some notable features on the project. AZ had one of the best verses on the entire album when he opened up “Life’s A B**ch,” even though he was a new cat to the hip hop industry at the time. There’s also a great story where Nas had to convince Pete Rock to sing the hook on “The World Is Yours,” as well as getting Q-Tip on the infamous “One Love” chorus. The best feature, however, comes at the end of “Life’s A B**ch,” when his father, Olu Dara, plays the trumpet for a jazz interlude.
