How Old Are You? Reasonable Doubt Is 18 Years Old Today

to reinforce how nikkas weren't checking for Jay when this (classic) dropped, i remember being in elementary school telling my brother i wanted him to take me to the record store so i could buy this album, nikka was like jay-z don't waste your money on a jay-z, go buy busta rhymes or something lol....i didn't finally own this album until 99/2000.

What's Jay's unreleased catalog for RD looking like?

That is available.

Always loved that song. Just brilliant.

I wonder how it would have come out if Shyheim were on it instead of Bleek, like originally intended. I know the lyrics would have been the same, as Jay wrote the whole thing, but I think Bleek delivered them perfectly.

Shyheim would have been perfect given his age, also Nas and AZ were supposed to be on Bring It On instead of Sauce and Jaz. Jay should remix it in a 20th anniversary album with Nas and AZ like it was intended.

It's the year of Illmatic, RTD, the sun rises in the east, hard to earn, you know... albums that really defined nyc sound and not carbon copy's of other, get that reasonable doubt talk out of here

Most underrated track on the album, perfect closer.

I wonder if he still says 'chink' when he raps this live tho

did i say it did? i'm just talking about how no one was trippin on the album when it dropped (especially not out here in cali) yet it went on to be a classic and the then lost-in0the-shuffke jay z went on to become the icon he is

Get your hating ass the fukk out my thread & make a thread on why you don't like RD or how you're jealous it's trending on Twitter or better yet, Purple Rain came out today as well. Go cry your thoughts away to some Prince as we continue to praise the GREAT album that is Reasonable Doubt.

it's a good album, nothng more nothing less, stop taking so much cizzock in your mizock. No one gives a shyt this album turned eighteen except music pedophiles maybe. I'm not against good music, just againt dumb threads. Come back at least on the twentieth year, until then, sit yo ass down
