do tracks from nas himself count aswell?

Nas' "the message" samples N.Y. State of mind ( I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death....I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin'...ya'll know my steelo..) and Halftime aswell (..there ain't an army that could strike back)

"Nas is Like" contains sample of It ain't hard to tell (..my poetry's deep, I never fell..)

Hardwe're 's "The Pressure" contains sample of One Love (..the streets have me stressed something terrible...)

my memory is crap, but I can't remember at least 3 songs with represent samples not mentioned here loool :lol:

This wasn't on Illmatic and I was just curious about the track...there was a 12" record back in the late 90's that had the "Verbally, I'm iller than an AIDS patient" line as it's hook, does anyone know who it was?
