I guess question is what they meant by golden city. We don't know what their experiences were going up there. And aren't Peter Cooper and Parkchester private developments?

I was half way fukkin around posting that nas vid and it sound like I’m hating on the bridge but when people try to characterize it as this massive self contained “city” it’s just not accurate

I’ve lived out here all my life it’s just like any other projects in the area other than the fact that they had so much musical talent

you wanna go clothes shopping you gotta leave the hood

you wanna go to the beach or the pool u gotta leave hood

you wanna go to the movie theatre you gotta leave the hood etc

yeah parkchester is private but they used to accept section 8 idk about now and I’m not sure about StuyTown

co op city is another one

that’s a massive housing complex

queensbridge might technically be the largest public housing in America and honestly I find that hard to believe

Robert Taylor Homes - Wikipedia

Quick google search

the place been demolished but apparently housed 27k people at one point

This is a very interesting angle I never thought of. The Firm should have been huge, a movement. Stoute left money on the table. And instead of blaming himself - namely his focus on Trackmasters beats, the focus on mafioso flamingo beats instead of the sound that made them hot (80s r&b Queens shyt), not enough Dre - he blames others. It’s all on him. Everyone else did their job.

Eh... you could argue Nas performed horribly on the firm save Phone Tap.

YOU can...Because you're trying to spin a narrative


The job of the head honcho in group projects is more of a conductor role/point guard. Not to kill everything

Big with JM
Jay with the ROC
Em with D12
Scarface with FaceMob
Tupac with Outlaws


Everyone of these lyricists saved their best shyt for their albums

Except Nas was on equal billing with AZ, and at that time, Foxy. This wasn't Nas with Bravehearts. The main problem with the album is that instead of a group album, it became a compilation.

Nas was NOT on equal billing with AZ and Foxy. He was the superstar of the group. AZ’s Doe or Die came out in 95 and debuted at number 15 with one Gold single. Foxy dropped in 96 and debuted at number 7 and went Plat. Nas was coming off of It Was Written which debuted at number 1 and stayed there FOUR weeks in a row, went double platinum and had two platinum singles.
