You goddamn right
Aside from that...it's more about the imagery in the video than anything...same with Elevators.

Breh I can go on and on with East coast tracks. Im gonna get to the West now
One Love was only a regional hit even tho it was a single off an album widely considered the GOAT?
Yet you post an example from 8ball&MJG who were about as regional an act as you can get
On Top of the World - Gold in 3 months
Illmatic - Went Gold in 2 years
Whille operating in the same era
Yet - 8Ball and MJG were far more regional in 94. That Southern market wasOn Top of the World - Gold in 3 months

And to body the thread even further I even posted MC Hammer in this bytch
I fukk wit all 3 of these tracks...
But socially concious & lyrically poignant?
The World is Yours = No Lyrical depth - Aint sayin shyt in the song...just putting random words together
Juicy = I was poor now i'm rich and living good - this is a socially concience rap song to you?
Dead Presidents = A song about chasing dollars - Social conciousness & lyrical depth...where????
that what im saying -your moving the goal post after every reply
u cant post cutz from face, geto boyz, 8ball & grant them as social conscience with joints like mind playing tricks/ never seen a man cry ....
then disallow my 3 joints

Ain't nothing in this thread touching Cell Therapy lyrically.
Or as well written and powerful as Seen a man Die, Mind Payin Tricks On Me & 6 Feet Deep
Or have the combination of commercial success & Lyrical/Musical quality of just about any of the other tracks.

Didn't i say it was a cult classic? Thanks to media/industry gassing.
Couldn't compete with Ball&G in their own era though
