"b-b-b-but Reasonable Doubt/Jay was never hot like that"

I forgot how much I enjoyed flex before he discovered the bomb sound effect

 

[Ziggiy]

God DAMN Flex was a monster with the transitions and blends before he became a caricature of himself






I know it sounds to say but the music was just so much BETTER in those periods than most of the mainstream shyt we have now polluting the radio. Prime Wu-Tang/Tribe Called Quest/ Busta/ Biggie/ Nas etc was all HEAT ROCKS. And to imagine someone as talented as Jigga was considered damn near underground and Reasonable Doubt is an insanely good album.

Flex actually was a better radio personality back then. Seemed cooler, these days he sounds like a damn cornball and a wanna be wrestler.

With that said this was fire. Props Op!

1996 had a fukked up vibe even before 2pac got killed

Don’t let them fool you. Jay wasn’t Biggie, Pac, or Nas level in 96 but nikkas was bumping his music regardless
