Are you stupid? why did you post a link to this song and say its better?What you did would be the equivalent of someone making a thread and asking how big was "If I rule the world" when it dropped
and you saying memory lane was better?
WTF???
Old heads....just how powerful was "Hard Knock Life" when it dropped?

Are yall nikkas slow
actually i ran the 40 yd dash in 5.4 seconds
not bad for a CAC
Always hated that song and never understood why it blew up. There's no arguing that it was the song that made Jay a superstar though, just can't grasp why to this day.

The sample is why everybody gravitated to it.

I completely agree. I'll go so far as to say this is one of my least favorite samples all time. Can't stand this joint, and I'm confused as to why it ever blew up. Nails on chalkboard type ish. Funk dat. I fart in this song's general direction.Are u dumb?
You just said "u remember when he can spit"
Then as a contrast u talk about his fashion sense and some stupid gossip thread we had 2 days ago?
Dude do u know what lyrical means?
Dont u realize how much u let your perception of an artist affect your perception of their lyricism?
Good God you're an idiot
This nikka has to be a cac...it'd be funny if he is too
I was in High School when it drop. Being from Louisiana, NYC nor the East Coast got any love down there except for Biggie and a few Nas hits. Hardknock life made me pay attention and give NYC artist a listen. I always saw NYC artist like we see foreign rappers. When I saw Jay walking out of the corner store drinking a quarterwater I was like these nikkas are like us.
Then Juvenile 400 dropped and Ridin Dirty dropped, I forgot about the eastcoast for a few more years.

Hard Knock Life was pure Piff. It was the song "Anything" that didn't hit like HKL, but it was aight tho. Volume 2 took him over to that mainstream market.

That was the album that made most of these 80's babies Camel fans. even tho they front and act like RD was always in they rotation 
Jigga was that dude when this album dropped. HKL was getting heavy MTV play and damn near every track on the album got some type of radio play.
One of the greatest commercial albums ever.
Then camel went to the well one too many times with
didnt get the same kinda love. Good record tho
