Old nikkas what was it like when Lupe debut finally dropped?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

I remember watching the I Gotcha video on Rap City back in Fall 2006...


Fall/Winter 2006 had all a lot of good stuff dropping


Food and Liquor
TM102
Tha Blue Carpet Treatment
Like Father, Like Son
Doctor's Advocate
Hip Hop Is Dead
Kingdom Come.



It was also the year where I started watching Music Choice and listening to random rap songs.

That Jeezy was getting serious burn around in South jerz.

 

[Kenyan West]

All I remember is how refreshing Kick Push sounded at the time. I was on the Ill Community when it dropped and nikkas was going INSANE.

 

[Mac Ten]

That Jeezy was getting serious burn around in South jerz.

I remember hearing the song "I Luv It"...


Jeezy toned down the ad libbing on TM102

 

[FlyRy]

I never heard the leak/advance, what was different?

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor Advance Vs Retail (which is better?)

I know this has been done before on various forums, but I didn't see one on here and 8 years is enough time to come to a decision :birdman: I just bumped the advance last night for the first time in years and I forgot how dope the exclusive tracks on that are For you youngins that don't know...

He was needed at that time to balance out the mainstream.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Niccas didn't care like that, I was around the LES/SoHo Blipster crowd heavy around that time and again...niccas ain't care like that. Whereas that crowd went crazy when Kendrick first gained momentum.
