This track illustrates the balance of the drug game. On one side you have Pusha T who’s sold cocaine half his life and on the other you have Kendrick Lamar, the kid who had to watch his father sniff it during the 80’s crack epidemic.

The song’s title is a pun on nose+nostalgia, and offers a perspective of looking back at a childhood growing up around cocaine. Scent is also the sense most closely linked to memory, and both verse include distinct references to smells.
