II\" Here's the official video for \"One Love\": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxce_qvhi5I -- Q-Tip said this about the song: Just from when you heard Nas initially, you knew he was ill. When I first heard him rhyme, I knew he was ill. Everybody knew he was ill. But I told Faith, “You guys got somebody special.” Because he has vulnerability in his rhymes. A lot of ni**as who MC, you don’t hear the vulnerability. He keeps it relatable, but he has a lot of depth. He can keep it gangsta, he can keep it educated, he can keep it thoughtful. He can tell you that he’s the s**t, & he can tell you when he f**ks up. And that’s what makes Nas endearing to everybody.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
