Anyone from NYC Buy the Blueprint on 9-11-2001?

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

420k sold first week, and 73k sold in new york city alone on 9-11-2001.... i think thats one of the greatest underrated feats in hip hop history.
nyggas was like damn, what a tragedy, but ima go head and go cop that Hov album tho.

9/11 was my first day of college.
When the planes hit classes were canceled.
Me and my boy went to the wiz in bay plaza and picked up blueprint and fabolous album.

Yup, left school... Went to the Wiz, and saw the smoke from the city on 287.... Crazy feeling from that album at the time, especially with what happened that day

 

[Big Mel]

i had it the thursday before the tuesday. pathmark forest ave bytches. i already knew the album was soft by 9/11 so i bumped Rza all day.

 

[Doctor Wily]

I had the bootleg for a little under a week before this came out.


Heard it a few times then went back to playing Erykah Badu 's Mama Gun album.

this might actually prove jay has the craziest stans

Nas stans say and write some very delusional things, but 73k Jay stans acted on their stannery and went full retard that day.

Okaaaay but albums like "The Great Depression" by DMX did like 430K first week too about a month later - where's the thread about that? Or is the dikkriding based on Jay-Z's fame now like all of felanious hip-hop dikklicking?

Jada had a great album that year as well, Ghost did, Kurupt did, Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Fab, Luda, Nas, Outkast, Missy Elliott, UGK, Sticky Fingaz, Eastsidaz etc.

Nowhere do i see as much re-writing of hip-hop history until i go on the net tho. Good album, but alot of re-writing.

Majors was a goldmine for early music .

I actually drove over to the bootleg man that was by Queens Center mall around 7 that night.

Skies were still smoky and not many people were out.

I needed that new Hov tho.

I remember sitting on my stoop and smoking a blunt while I listened to it watching the fighter jets patrol the skies thinking the world was about to end or some shyt.

RIP to my big brother Firefighters who did what no one else would!
