Most annoying hip hop revisionist "facts" ?

[sharky]

Illmatics a classic album

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Illmatic being the best Hip-Hop album of all time

 

[JayBaldacci]

Pac not being the GOAT of this rap shyt

Pac being the goat wasnt even a thing until the late 90s.

 

[Don Jesus]

His one album nearly sold as much as both of DMX's albums (one of which was released in the last week of 99), had huge singles, had the clubs, international, streets everything. The album even moved more than any Pac and Big album ever did. DMX was the hottest in 99, Jay in 98. This right here is one of the biggest revisionist stories. Jay was also hottest in 09 and 01. All these lists on the internet say the exact samt thing.


I've never heard anyone say that Jay-z was one of the hottest rappers in 1996, I've heard people say that he was one of the best though.
Show me one person or can one person please confirm that they have said this? I mostly hear haters refuting a point no one is claiming.

Hov was not the hottest rapper in 09 that was Drake. Stop it. And 01 is debatable but I don't think it was Jay. Not because I don't like Jay but because like I said...Hov was always not as much as a superstar on a level DMX or Eminem was but more of a strategist artist who was always moved in a way that would prevent himself from over saturating the game. This is the mistake 50 Cent made and the reason why no one likes his music anymore. And plenty of people say RD was hottest in 1996. Mainly younger folks who were in diapers at the time who don't understand or remember that The Fugees were a thing. or that Busta Rhymes once was a big deal. Or that 2Pac had rap in a headlock in 96. Hov is pretty much the only rapper from 96 to last til today and still be relevant on a universal scale meaning many of his fans are from this age...and those same people went back listened to RD and automatically think "it must have been big when it was out" not realizing Hov was viewed as Foxy Brown's bodyguard or some shyt initially..probably to anyone outside of Brooklyn. Or NY

Show me video footage of us hip hop heads dancing to real hip hop in the 90s nikka..we didn't dance to that shyt

Maybe b boys breaking that's about it

Go look up Morgan State University party videos

And by real hip hop I mean hip hop that wasn't bum shyt like "whoomp there it is" and "baby got back" not necessarily limited to some underground Black Moon/Smif N Wesson

What the fukk are you talking about?

So Jay selling 2 million records, having his first #1 record in his career, winning like 5 grammys and on in 09 while Drake dropped his first mixtape that made some noise makes Drake the hottest rapper
"Not because I don't like Jay.." .


Should I bring in some sources explaining this in longer articles for you to understand?

 

[Ziggiy]

Awful posting per usual.

You STAY on my dikk...

 

[Big Mel]

Why do you keep saying.
Will smith wrote summertime.
When, I have said to you personally, will smith did not write summertime.
Plus, provided a video link to further substantiate the fact as well.

Art Barr

He's a hip hop Holocaust denier. in one terrible post he said:

Will Smith wrote summertime
Nas NEVER fell off
Ja Rule is a legend
Eminem ain't shyt


I would punch @Ziggiy in his mouth.

 

[DrexlersFade]

Will Smith wasn't a dope MC and Rakim ghostwrote Summertime (Will wrote it himself)

Nas's career was on "life support" before Ether/Stillmatic (coming off of releasing TWO Platinum albums in ONE year)

Ja-Rule was always corny and nobody ever fukked with him (EVERYBODY prior to 50 and the Interscope machine fukked with Ja if only on a singles level. Dude was Drake before Drake)


Bleek was only "one hit away"


Eminem belongs in the Top 10 (fukk NO)

 

[Why-Fi]

people forget, or dont know that the discussion in real time was not "rakim vs kane", it was "rakim vs kane vs LL vs krs"
at least whereever i had a seat

ppl think nwa started gangsta rap

 

[Deltron]

everyone had/has ghost writers

 

[JustCKing]

Jay Z being a nobody in '96

Jeezy created the sub-genre of "trap rap"

Gucci created the sub-genre of "trap rap"

Kanye popularized EDM with Graduation

Kanye popularized auto-tune

Kanye is responsible for Jay Z's relevance from '01 forward

50 Cent didn't own 2005

Co-producers getting credited with doing all the work and commonly refer to them as "ghost producers" despite the said co-producer disputing the claim (i.e. ignorant people giving Danja all the credit for Timbaland's work and people giving Mel-Man, Scott Storch, Mike Elizondo, and Mark Batson credit for Dre's work).

 

[karim]

This is true though. The DMX thing wasn't across the board like Jay was. Even the staunchiest backpackers had to concede to Jay's ability. DMX not so much.

revise history in a thread about revisionist history brehs

 

[JustCKing]

Nah 03 was 50 Cent

06 was Jeezy

I can see your point though

This within itself is revision. 2006 was T.I. KING was the biggest album of 2006 by a wide margin and "What You Know" was one of the biggest records. Then you had "Top Back", "Why You Wanna", "I'm Talkin' to You", and "Live In The Sky".

 

[JustCKing]

Eminem name dropping Andre 3000 as one of his Top MC's on "Til I Collapse" is the reason people think Andre 3000 is a GOAT

Nobody thought Eminem murdered Jay on "Renegade" until Nas said it on "Ether"
