that thriller album brehs...how was that even possible? :mindblown:

the first and last single were released over a year apart :dead:

why didnt they just fukk up the game and release the last 2 tracks as singles? "baby be mine" and "lady in my life" ...im sure they couldve :wow:

and who were the people who resisted to buy the album, until like the 6th or 7th single?? :mjlol:

We bought and appreciated music before the internet downloading age..

it just amazes me how he was still selling albums after like the 6th single over a year later...not that they actually sold...but that there were still people who were like "its too early to call this a good investment...i need to hear 1 more good song from this guy before i buy this album" :russ:

you can make an argument that 6 of the songs on Illmatic (9 total) are greatest songs in hip hop history........ i think this is more impressive

-NY State of Mind
-World is Yours
-It Aint Hard to Tell
-Memory Lane
-1 Love
-Life's a bytch

:camby:

you might have some nas stans say some of these are the greatest songs in hip hop history...

but youll get people saying some of the mj songs are the greatest in MUSIC history..
