Older Brehs, was Jay-Z's "Imaginary Players" considered a "Dreams & Nightmares"-type hit back in the day?

According to Ray Daniels that was the case:

 

[Capitol]

I was only 2 years old and im calling fake news

 

[David_TheMan]

Nope.
Not a national hit atleast.
Might have been played in the NYC area though but no one down south heard that shyt on the radio or saw it on TV

 

[FlyRy]

compare hov to meek mill brehs

 

[OneManGang]

I was young but not that young. This a weird comparison

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Hell no lol. It’s been a classic song forever but dreams and nightmares is a horrible comparison. That’s one of Meeks top songs of his career. Imaginary player is nowhere near Jays top songs, although one of a lot of people’s favorite Jay songs. It wasn’t even a proper single on Vol 1, the video was for the streets is watching soundtrack

 

[TheNig]

I seriously think Ray Daniels is bipolar.

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

this dude ray daniels is wishy washy

but i do agree with his point that Imaginary Players is one of those tracks that should not be touched

i said that when the Cardi track was being teased a couple says before the release

 

[Jaguar93]

Ray Daniels be having the worst takes

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

WTF is this Ray Daniels nikka? Been seeing him everywhere lately.

 

[papa pimp]

hoevenger fairytale propaganda

 

[Controversy]

I never been to a party 1997 through today where the DJ played Imaginary Players

And I'm from Philly, where nikkas loved Jigga & Rocafella since 96

 

[LoMax30]

I'd say Shook Ones was more akin to Dreams & Nightmares, especially for the streets

 

[Ineedmoney504]

He’ll no and I was 7.

5 year olds today can recite dreams and nightmares.

It’s one of them once in a generation songs

 

[CHICAGO]

HELL NAH
