I said it before, but '98 has to be probably the weirdest year in hip-hop. There's like 3 different '98s. The musical landscape was just changing too quickly, and while you still had different types of sounds, it was still all merging to become one unified front to take over the music world commercially. But almost each month had a different artist as the absolute hottest.

Nore was the hottest for like 4-5 months, from like April to August. Even with some annoying commercial songs, and rudimentary lyrics, he had that "it" factor. I don't think there was another artist that had more features. Even tracks like Mya's Movin On & Onyx Shut Em Down which had other hot/upcoming artists were remixed with Nore. Every soundtrack, every compilation had Nore on it.

Nore was not being played in the South at all. On no radio stations in the south.

Nobody in the south was running to Circuit City to cop a Nore album in no southern major cities in 1998.

Everything was No Limit or something from Bad Boy. Not Nore.

C Murder album was the most anticipated album in 98 followed by Master P, The Last Don.

Nore bugging hard. Nobody bumped that Nore shyt. We clowned folks who was on any type of Nore train.

NORE did features with damn near everybody including David Banner and Project Pat
Dude is the nyc version of Bun B when it comes to features


Most soundtracks either had a Nas, Lox, Nore, Mobb Deep, Big Tymers, or DMX cuts.



I miss that era in Hip Hop where everyone was bringing in the flavor
