For what must be the tenth time, it ain't about ignorance, if you don't know you don't know. Everybody had to play catch up to an era that precedes them. No one is born knowing everything. But cats shouldn't troll and say BN ain't shyt bc they don't know who they are. There are only two acceptable responses. "I've never heard of BN, put me on" or "I've heard of them, they are supposed to be heavy right? I gotta go get their shyt"
nikka, you quoted me first. fukk outta here, like a female you're just arguing for the last word now. Go head and get that.
u mighta went over they heads, but sometimes its necessary.
Christmas day. One For All.
i didn't tell u im'ma street nikka to prove to u that i was a street nikka,i said that to let you know why i mainly only fukk wit certain type of rap..i don't care if u believe me or not, just like i don't care about what you claim you did in the streets either,that wasn't the point, so you coulda saved all that extra shyt you talkin bout b..you post a lot on a messageboard..thats all i need to know about you, art "international hustla & inventor of the internets" barr
and besides,from what i can remember,you didn't even know where i got my name from & tried to talk slick..so who really lackin in the hiphop knowledge department breh? cuz Too Short had 10x more impact in the hiphop world then brand nubian..he's more respected,had better music,and was more consistent then them 3 nikkas combined..now tell me im lying nikka
How many of yall are rolling around bumping Yellow Wolf? Where are all the Yellow Wolf appreciation threads on The Coli? Are yall just siding with him because it fits your pre conceived narrative?

Awful post. You lack knowledge of this shyt something serious.
i didn't equate anything, i'm saying that arrogance & disrespect that hiphop fans tend to show does stem from the arrogance & disrespect that hiphop itself has displayed FOR DECADES
@ studying hiphop culture..nikka,i am hiphop culture
what i am not is a bboy thou..and i don't want to be that..i fukk wit street music,cuz i'm a street nikka..and im not braggin,cuz that ain't shyt to brag about,but i prefer more street orientated hiphop
so you won't catch me listening to brand nubian or a tribe called quest or any of them hippy type nikkas..does that make me less of a hiphop fan? hell naw..its sub-cultures to this shyt b..
and if it wasn't for street/gangsta rap,this shyt would've BEEN dead..so fukk common and all that "i use to love her" shyt,nikkas ain't spray painting walls & spinnin on they head, and talking that pro black awareness in the streets no more b..murder,gangbanging & drug dealing kept hiphop alive, muthafukka
lil fyi for you bboys: brand nubian most critically acclaimed album "one for all" only sold 350k to date..and that shyt dropped in 1990.....
meanwhile,a more respected & ground breaking legend like rakim has dropped gold & plat albums, and unlike lord jamar,he doesn't go around talking crazy & shytting on other m.c's in the game..
my point is this: stay humble,my friends
You exposing yourself breh. You should know that wa one of the most bootlegged albums of all time. And Rakim never went platinum. And at the end of the day, sales don't matter, especially in 1990. The impact on the culture was real.lil fyi for you bboys: brand nubian most critically acclaimed album "one for all" only sold 350k to date..and that shyt dropped in 1990.....

I hear you. But no one is saying that. Like I said, we were all playing catch up at some point. It's how you approach the truly seminal shyt that you don't know about. Somebody like BN, if you never hear them, that's fine, but it's something you should seek out. Especially with how Bleek hip hop is now.
@ the excuses..it was one of the most bootlegged of all-time huh?..well that just shows bboys is the cheapest fans in history..cuz cube was runnin shyt in 1990 and i didn't hear anybody listening to no fukkin brand nubian..and @mobbinfms paid in full did go plat breh..you exposing yourself b
