And there are plenty of them who didn't need injections or
any sort of plastic surgery to get the @ss they were born with :yeshrug:
A lot of them we regularly see in music videos.

I really liked that whole album and thought it got really badly and unfairly shytted on when it came out.

The 2 singles do stand out though, in comparison to the rest of the album to me. Some of the piano loops on there. :ohlawd: The song with Busta. :king: That's the whole point though, the singles got peoples attention who probably never even heard Tip or ATCQ or never really fukked with them like that before.

Vivrant Thing & Breathe & Stop were everywhere when they came out. I'd much, much rather hip-hop club music sounded like this than the usual stuff.

That shyt a unadulterated CLASSSIC though, better than both Tip's singles. no hate, just better. and his album's one the best examples of balancing it out.



aint nthing wrong with selling out if you droppin heat like that.... when you sell out and drop trash like

Nas feat. Ginuwine - You Owe Me - Vidéo Dailymotion

:scusthov:

that screen cap STUPID EXEMPLARY!! -- this's roughly the same time, Nas bandwagoned somebody else's wave & came with a distinctly lesser product

When I first heard it, I thought it was wack, but then I heard it at a party and then I was :ohhh: ...."this shyt is kinda fresh." It was different for him, kinda club-ish, but it wasnt that far of a departure for him lyric wise. The beat wasn't on no looped up dusty jazz with dope drums like we came to know them for - anything other than that....nikkas were caught off guard. haha I think the video REALLY caused all that sellout talk though.
