So I'm looking at Hip Hop release dates from back in the day and what I choose to listen buy on some of those days. I really didn't start buying music until around 97-98. I also saw there were some big release days back then.
On September 29th, 1998 you had the following releases:
Bad Azz - Word on tha Streets
Black Star - Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar
Brand Nubian - Foundation
Jay-Z - Volume 2: The Hard Knock Life
No Limit Records Mean Green Compilation
OutKast - Aquemini
A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement
My choice was Outkast Rosa Parks was rocking.
On November 3rd, 1998 you had the following releases:
Crucial Conflict - Good Side, Bad Side
Juvenile 400 Degreez
Mia X - Mama Drama
GRITS - Factors of the Seven
My dumb ass bought Mia X Mama Drama
That No Limit shyt was still running through my blood I probably bought at least 6 or 7 No Limit albums that year.
1st week sales were nasty back in the day to Snoop dropped his No Limit debut and sold 520K the first week. DMX sold 670K his first week.
April 6th 1999 you have Krazie Bone - Thug Mentality 1999, Lords of the Underground - Resurrection, and Nas - I Am...
Can you guess what my dumbass bought...Krazie Bone - Thug Mentality 1999. I was still very much a Bone Thugs N Harmony fan. I remember loving Nas Is Like... and Hate Me Now but I wasn't really into Nas at that point.
My love for No Limit really fukked me up in 98 and 99. Buying albums like No Limit Allstars Who U Wit and TRU Da Crime Family Double Disc. Those dudes was done by this time and I was still giving them chance after chance.
