i think jay-z in 96 was ahead of his time too, nikka was fukkin incredible, people didn't even fukk with him back then, it wasnt until years after that they got up on his 96 shyt, excluding "aint no"

 

[Real]

Jigga man in 96-97 was godly.

 

[GetSomeMoney]

at Jayz being ahead of his time

He was good but lets not get crazy

co-sign 100 fukkin percent. Releasing Hypnotical Gases had me laughing my fukkin ass off cause its like these dudes went into some kinda lyrical hyperspace. I had never heard anything like that in my life. Stuck to my ribs like a mug

I don't see anything as lyrically advanced

with the exception of Rakim in 1988

Yeah I remember the first time I heard it. It was like someone opened the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

Nas in '94 was "lyrically ahead of his time"? "That's like Malcolm X catchin' the Jungle Fever?"...nah.

And i'll take your word for OK, because I never heard of 'em until '97...

 

[Cuban Pete]

um I would definitely say Rae with OB4CL and Dre on ATLiens would be ahead of their time as well

I'm shocked.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

its funny that you compare OK to Nas...cause both entities are Large Pro creations. Dude had a powerful mind for such an unassuming looking cat.

 

[phatphuck]

monch was ahead of his time in 94, 97 and 99 too

 

[Anti-Anime]

there were a lot of intricate lyricist around that time, but OK was definitely on some shyt
