I think it's a reflection of the times, and the star power of those guys at the top of the game, that he even got a shot in the game, much less anything more then that. Dudes like Nature were getting the full court press Colombia Records release….imagine that for a second.

lmao, i was listening to fantastic 4 and banned 4 tv couple nights ago and thought about this. i remember the first time i heard his first 2 opening bars from banned from i instantly became a fan of this nikkka.

"regardles of rain snow, sleet or hail
i kick street tales, chocking nikkkas like im sprewell" :dead:

imo when i look back, i think nature just came up during the wrong time. 98-00, it was competitive, you had nikkkas in ny like cam, dmx, pun,lox, jay, nas, busta, etc but they were also getting backing from their label too. columbia look like they didn't see have the confidence in nature and didn't see any star appeal in him, so they just said :camby:

for all seasons is a personal classic imo, fuk what any of yah nikkkas say. pain killer is solid too.

nature cool and all but he was never gonna blow. he was kind of dry on the mic. no charisma or star-power. nothing extra appealing about him at all.

if youre not deep into his style of rap and/or the QB scene, then he was never really a factor. he prolly couldve snuck in a hit or two. thats about it.

some of this stuff applies to cormega too.

***runs out of thread***

I can't say you're wrong. I fukks with that Queens shyt, obviously, so Nature was always in rotation.

I remember thinking half-a-mil was a Queens cat based on his style when I first heard him, but dude was from BK.
