Here we go again...
"Considerably" bigger is a bit of an overstatement... yeah, one charted higher than the other, but BOTH were hit songs that were on the radio and TV constantly that summer. It ain't like one was just an underground hit and the other was a top 5 Hot 100 smash. So yes, they both blew her up equally. She was on some other songs too around that time (Toni Braxton's 'Makin Me High' remix, Horace Brown '1 For the Money' remix, Total 'No One Else' remix)... and those helped too but not like 'Touch Me Tease Me' and 'Ain't No nikka' did. Those were the two that really had her out there during that time.
"Ain't No nikka" was a dope track when it hit, but EPMD flipped the beat better, IMO. And for whatever reason the record was cleaner.

nah.
i see what youre trying to say but nah.
there can only be 1 at #1 . im not saying that the case joint was way way bigger than the jay joint. but still.
nah.
If you ain't sayin' that, you ain't sayin' anything.
There can only be 1 at #1... I don't get what you're sayin' tho'. One wasn't dramatically bigger than the other... both went Gold... both were on the radio/TV every hour on the hour that summer... so what is the point you're trying to discount? Did this not happen, or are you just on your contrarian shyt?
Warmth? Is that how they justify the nostaliga?
Haha. I understand where they're coming from. It's the quintessential, basement-esque, sonically-muffled, capture-the-essense-of-the-grit-n-grime-of-the-streets type recording that made the golden/silver era what it was.
For me, i personally enjoy the clarity and hi-fi mixing of contemporary production... cuz i hate having to turn my speakers up only to hear how bad my mid 90s records are.
Au contraire, if you listen to several D.I.T.C. projects from the early-mid 90's sound exceptionally mastered for their time (Stunts Blunts Hip Hop and The Awakening are a couple of examples of this - Diamond D and Lord Finesse must have had access to the latest/greatest recording tech, but i'm assuming they probably rented out the same studios cats like Premo and Rza at the time. Must have been their technique?).
Irregardless, Aint No Brotha could have used (even at that time) better drums and a little more snare.
"Wheres my snare?!?!"

hold up.
so saying that "touch me tease me" was noticeably bigger than "aint no niqqa" is a contrarian statement now?
im never on contrarian sh*t. its seems more like youre on that "on my d*ck" sh*t. call it what it is, instead of trying to play somebody.
Yeah man, I'm jockin' your style. It's a mix of envy, jealousy, and admiration. I wish I could be just like you and post untrue things as fact, get proven wrong, and still try to fight it out til the end anyway. It's what I idolize most.

The entirety of Kingdom Come was mixed on some
One song the volume is fine, the next one too loud, after that weird again.
Funny that you mentioned that album, dre mixed that cd. He was responsible for the loudness war.
Why the fukk is "A Star Is Born" from BP3 so loud?

when proven wrong about something, i proudly take the L always.
so again, youre basically just on my top.
and i was wrong about when "touch me, tease me" dropped and conceeded to that.
so hop off my niggy-niggy-nuuts.
the songs dr dre did on that KC album sounds clear and good.its the songs dr dre didnt do that sounds fukked up cause they tried to match other mixes on the album to dres and that was the outcome.dont blame the loudness war on dre,blame the record labels thats trying to keep up with dr dres mixing and mastering style.2001 is the one of the best sounding hiphop albums of all time and its the loudest.
