[sound of a subway train going overhead]
[in the background, Nas´ verse from Main Source "Live at the BBQ" is heard]
[excerpt of verse is as follows]

(Street´s disciple, my raps are trifle
I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle
Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split
Play Mr. Tuffy while I´m on some Pretty Tone shit
Verbal assassin, my architect pleases
When I was twelve, I went to...)

[conversation heard over this before Wild Style music kicks in is as follows]
