Nah it was Nas.
“After a while, some of my songs appeared as promos on the radio with all kinds of nikkas rapping on them—meanwhile, I hadn’t even finished working on the song for my album,“ said Nas, to Complex. "I had a song called "On The Real” that I didn’t finish, and before I could, I’m hearing it on the radio with people rapping on it. I couldn’t understand that. I was hurt and I knew I couldn’t work like that.”

im a huge mega fan but he was in jail for 4 years lol
whatever buzz he may have had before that, which was probably decent at best, would of been completely over by the time he got out if it wasn't for Nas. No one was thinking about him.
Hip hop changed drastically between 1991-1995. No one woulda been checking for him

Disagree.
Queensbridge blew up at that time because of Nas and Mobb Deep. Lot of buzz for artists from there, even those who were out before Illmatic, like Tragedy/Khadafy.
When the fans and industry are checking for your hood's sound, its easier to shop demo and get a deal.
No lie, I remember actually copping that album and Krazy Bones album after seeing the reviews. I hated Krazys album, but ran The Realness back like I was studying the shyt.
One of my favorite albums of all time breh

Cormega had a following and Def Jam shelved dude. I think what Mega is saying is he was somebody before the Nas shout out. But the Nas shout out exposed him to people outside of NYC. I remember being 16 buying The Realness when it dropped all my friends was like who is Cormega. I used to drive to school playing that album my sophomore year my friends knew his songs cuz I kept playing that album.

I like Mega but he spent a lot of his career mentioning or attacking Nas so he can't be mad at shyt like this. I remember that long ass DVD he had back in the day and big chunks of that was spent attacking Nas. This dude was looking out at the ocean talking about Nas, it looked weird as fukk

Queensbridge blew up around that time because of Nas though lol
Take nas, the firm, and the shoutout of the picture and i dont think anyone is checking for him. I mean he was put in a super group with Nas Az and Foxy brown after puttin nothin out for 4 years. And it's not like he had commercial appeal
Tragedy never disappeared
I never heard of Cormega until Nas...never heard of Camron till Mase.
