nikka did u even read the thread? Only thing he took from Bad Boy was the fact he had to polish his sound more. Album is NOT stylistically like any Bad Boy album at the time.
The track masters were basically bad boy producers at that point so to say that nas took bad boy producers to make an album that was stylistically nothing like the bad boy sound is just silly. You're an irrational nas cocksucker tho so I'm really not going to argue with you.
And who cares what nikka's from westbumblefukk south was thinkin.
Apparently Nas did which is why he switched up his style from Illmatic to IWW. He wasn't making any money only catering to you bytchmade feminine ass ny dudes.
U nikka's don't get it. I been said casuals prolly didn't know Illmatic. But for the heads. Illmatic was VERY important. And that shyt spread like wildfire in the industry. Yall nikkas makin shyt up based on how big a deal the shyt was in yo house. This thread was about Jay Z and u nikkas came in here making it about Nas.
You're unnecessarily emotional and evidently hard of hearing. Nas is mentioned in the clip that this thread is about. The conversation that they're having in the clip isn't just about Jay. Matter of fact I just went back and listened again and my point is further cemented because even future implies that nas's career started with I ruled the world
If future says that he was checking for nas and illmatic in '94 he'd be lying. That alone makes his passive aggressive shade at Jay/RD invalid and that's the point here. The same way that you can't say that illmatic wasn't "hot" because it wasn't a commercial smash and other albums were more appreciated, is the same way you can't say that RD wasn't hot. Both albums were initially slept on by the masses but that doesn't take away from the quality of either album.
Fact is. Go ahead. Call Nas Illmatic a big deal locally. Say what u want. Reasonable Doubt wasn't even THAT. shyt was just another dope album. Regardless of what u feel expectations were fulfilled or not with Illmatic. There was NO expectations for Reasonable Doubt. Not even locally. What u gonna tell me it was now?. nikka from the south who wasn't here? nikka's have ZERO credentials to say the opposite of what every artist, publication, all of that shyt was sayin at the time. nikka's talking that Snoop shyt. But guess what. SNOOP knew who Nas was cause of Illmatic. Nas went to visit LA when Illmatic was out. Snoop immediately knew who it was. U nikka's is ALL exposing yall selves. Thinking that hindsight numbers tell the whole story.
I haven't been arguing over which album ny cats liked more between illmatic and rd. I don't give a fukk which album you lames liked better. And who cares shag snoop knew nas? My point was that the same bullshyt that cats are trying to use to shade RD can be used to shade illmatic. You're emotional because you're a nas-fanboy
I always come with those receipts
