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

[lutha]

idk about "hot", but if we were bumping it in my little rural ass town then it was doing something

exactly...that's all i'm saying...if people were fukking with jay and the album, what's this 'wasnt hot' talk?...is that all sales talk?...

 

[RandomDudeOnColi]

Jay-Z didn't blow up until 97.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I live in Colorado and all my friends who listened to east coast hip hop had the album when it dropped, including myself.

 

[Nostalgic]

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...

Stop.

RD debuted about around 23 on the billboard charts
It sold only 420,000 copies at that time
And Jay-z considered retiring

Yall Jigga stans STAY tryin to re-write this mans career.

i did not here of jay-z til 98

 

[patscorpio]

He's right. There were so many albums dropped from established acts that year: Ghost, Pac, Nas, Lil Kim, the Roots, Tribe, Mobb Deep, Redman, Busta, etc. Reasonable Doubt was just lost in the sauce

Pretty much

Truth.

Only song ppl rocked with off there intially was "Can't Knock...."

It became greater later

That and ain't no nikka.

[pointproven214]

people in the streets were not buzzing about jay-z like they were buzzing about nas when he was getting to drop illmatic or snoop doggystyle

 

[Larry]

How old are y'all?

lol I can't argue against the shyt if I wanted to, I was 3 in 1996

 

[boskey]

That track is essential Jay-Z

I have no idea why people think that.

When I think of Jay Z music, 99 Problems is not what comes to mind. A Run DMC beat + Dr. Dre's concept (bytches Aint shyt, also some LL Cool J Illegal Search), Ice T's hook and some UGK lines. Its a novelty song in my opinion...

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

Who gives a shyt

Desiigners panda and Timmy turner were HOT on the streets and what that get him?



Jay Z money > Futures
Jay Z wife > Russell Wilsons

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

That's like saying "nobody caught on to 400 Degreez til Back That Azz Up dropped". Hot or not, it still was a great album which is more than what anybody can say about that hot doo-doo grease he be dropping.

i swear yall cats try so hard to be smart asses lol...just stop...

anyway, not trying to rewrite shyt, just asking what 'making a mark' is cause i'm legit confused....people bumped the album when it dropped, to me, that means it made a mark....apparently, to yall it's about sales...thanks that's all i wanted to know...

if that's how yall determine if something made a mark, then no, jay didnt 'make a mark' with the album...
