N.Y. State of Mind -Nas
This song gives off the message that there are times when crime is necessary for survival. In the city streets, people operate a lot differently than the average law abiding citizens. In certain areas of the country, people grow up learning how to get around the law and how to make money illegally. Although this may not always be the best way, it sometimes is the only way. Nas, the writer, is the one who is speaking because he learned from his early life that life gets rough and you have to do whatever you can to get by. The way that Nas raps and the beats that he uses affects the way his music sounds. this song is fast-paced and keeps people interested throughout. His music tends to be for teens and younger men. Those are the people that enjoy what he talks about and the style of his music. There isn't really a story… I will apply this message to my daily life; when challenges arise I take them head on and push through.
