Let's be real here J.O.S.E. is waaaay better than Get Rich or Die Trying.

[Mike Ock]

J.O.S.E was the real last great hardcore rap album out of NYC. The Don made a violent masterpiece, right in the middle of Jay and Nas . Mighta not written a majority of it, but , still....

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Wow now that you mention it, that mighta been one of the last hardcore NY albums, at least mainstream wise. Yea it had some of that pop gloss sprinkled here and there but the majority of that shyt was hard as hell. After that the NY sound kinda faded and became sumthin else.

But the JOSE album was like the curtain call for that mid to late 90's hardcore NY shyt and was also a pretty decent segue into the next era.
