Future - "Reasonable Doubt was not hot when it dropped"

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Remember that hot 97 interview back in 2002 when Nas said Jay asked him for some comp tickets for the 95 Source Awards and Nas said ok, he'll leave it in will call, he never did

Shows u how completely irrelevant he was.
Smif N Wessun & the whole boot camp click had a bigger buzz than Jay

 

[SirBiatch]

Hard Knock Life Jay-Z is the best version of Jay-Z ever. That's the version of Jay-Z that people actually gave a fukk about, and set up a beautiful run from 98 till Black Album.

Y'all can't rewrite history. I remember listening to tracks off Reasonable Doubt in 97 and not giving a fukk. They were good joints, but they weren't addictive. "Can I Get A" blew all that shyt out the water.

Sidenote: Why is the song Hard Knock Life so slept on? Hov was ice cold on this joint. Its one of his best songs but people act like its one of his worst...

Which people? Coli lames?

lol no...this is fiction....cats fukked with jay when RD dropped....did it do outrageous numbers? no....but times were different and the numbers didnt determine if people fukked with you or not....

and people need to stop with the 'he only got 'hot' cause big and pac died'...yes, big and pac dying opened a void people wanted to fill, but people were fukking with his music before they passed....if people werent, someone else wouldve filled the void...

It isn't fiction. There was Def people who fukked wit it. But the shyt ain't make a mark when it dropped. Jay himself wouldn't even dispute this shyt. Jay was still pleading his case for that album up until The Blueprint.

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

Its not like Future dissed the album It just took awhile for people to get hip to it. A bunch of established acts dropped classics and Jay was the new kid

[The Fire]

definitely
Jay z's career was a process

 

[Broke Wave]

Yo the dualities are retarded

Nas been sponsored by Hennessey

LeBron uses Hennessey as a performance enhancing drug

 

[boskey]

You know me well from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell, but since when do yall nikkas know me to tell? fukk naw

Living hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks. Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that...

Damn near every line on this song is 10/10 like

Which people? Coli lames?

I rarely see it mentioned when classic songs are brought up. It was a huge hit by the GOAT rapper (career wise ) it should be considered one of his signature songs. But wack ass 99 Problems gets more props...

That track is essential Jay-Z

 

[pointproven214]

he is correct jay-z released a dope album in a time period where everybody could say they had a hot album
or a classic cause that is how god albums were back then

jay-z was just another dope album on a long list of good albums that dropped back then


like example nas illmatic changed the game and made a huge impact and imprint on the game even though it did not sell alot of records.

snoop doggystyle same with the chronic album all eyez on me ready to die life after death me against the world killuminati the 7 day theory etc

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

idk about "hot", but if we were bumping it in my little rural ass town then it was doing something. but then again, my bro was always into the dope stuff before everybody else caught up

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Great album but it wasn't popular off the bat, at least not nationally.

a bunch of albums dropped that year that didnt make a 'mark', but that doesnt mean people didnt fukk with those albums...seriously, what is this 'make a mark' stuff?...what's the criteria to determine if something 'made a mark'?..are yall talking about sales? if so, then a lot of 'classic' albums didnt make a mark when they first dropped....

also, him pleading the case for the album was about sales, not whether or not people fukked with it, it was hot, none of that....'first joint was a classic, shouldve went triple'...
