I Gave You Power - Rapping as a gun couldn't be done any better. The Flyest - I love Nas/Az combo's, and as great as Life's a Bitch is, this boils down to be my personal favorite. Was hard to narrow it down to 2 in this couple seconds I thought about it, but these were the first to come to mind. Nas is Like, Family, You're Da Man, U Gotta Love it, Book of Rhymes, These are our Heros also came to my mind, many great songs.
The best Nas songs are all his collabos with AZ. Purehoops mentioned The Flyest, but The Essence is my pick for his best song. It's amazing.

On the note of The Essence, the day I picked up Azatic, I went straight to that song, one of my instant favorites.
If I Ruled The World One Mic The World is Yours The Message Nas Is Like You're the man War Hey Nas If Heaven Was A Mile Away It Wasn't You Stillmatic Street Dreams Nas is my favorite rapper so I couldnt really narrow it down.
Apart from the one's mentioned, I like "It Ain't Hard to Tell." The production on that song is great.
Ether has some sick lyrics too. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When these streets keep callin, heard it when I was sleep That this Gay-Z and Cockafella Records wanted beef Started cockin up my weapon, slowly loadin up this ammo To explode it on a camel, and his soldiers, I can handle This for dolo and it's manuscript, just sound stupid When KRS already made an album called Blueprint First, Biggie's ya man, then you got the nerve to say that you better than Big Dick suckin lips, whyn't you let the late, great veteran live Rockafeller died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after? Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas And now y'all try to take my spot, fellas? Philly's hot rock fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas In a pine box with nine shots from my glock, fellas</div>
I was waiting for someone to mention Rewind. His most underrated song, ever. Who else can storytell he way he can....backwards.
