Nas

Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two

Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you

Well Nas is talking about himself, because he refers to himself as god's son. 33 is supposed to be a significant number, here is a link that describes instances in which it is used ( http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1766.cfm). Kind of like how 7 is related to 2pac's death, 7 is also closely tied to the bible. Also it is said that after Jesus died at the age of 33 he was dead for 3 days and three nights before his resurrection, hence you get 33 again. I found this in an interview. Lets get to it.

Nas decides to put away all of the gold chains and such, speaking that all that he needs in his life is a microphone to be powerful, and not money and women. We all know Nas' other nickname is God's Son, a.k.a. Jesus Christ. Hence the line "Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots" is not just storytelling, but speaking of Nas himself. Nas released this album at age 27, and announced he had three more albums in six years, hence when he retires, or "dies", in this case is age 33. Hence the lines: "Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17, Twenty-seven hit your crew" is therefore broken down like this. In counting from 1991, which is when Nas entered hip-hop when he was "27" to when he is set to retire, it is a "17" year distance. Hence the line "six went into you" speaks about the "six" years he has left in hip-hop. For the rest of Verse 2, Nas speaks about his mentality changing as a prophet to a gangsta, as he speaks about the shootings and variety of things he glorified on albums such as It was Written and I Am.
