On this day 25 years ago, N.O.R.E. drops his debut album

[Tommy Gibbs]

Here are a few pics from that day in early 1999. He's coming in with his bodyguard and Timbo. Capone had just got home and could not travel at the time. My homeboy and I were probably the only 2 in there that owned the CNN first album. He signed both for him and I just had him sign an 8x10 and got a pic.

everybody talks about superthug,

but I remember how the title track came out and didn't sound like nothing else. I swear there was a video for it, but I cant find the shyt

Superthug came out and eclipsed everything. "wha.... you found Manuel Noriega!? "

Is super thug the reason everyone wanted a neptunes beat early on?

Coli historians enter

"Superthug" was when The Neptunes really found their sound. Before "Superthug", there was Mase's "Lookin At Me", which was huge, but it missed that Neptunes signature sound. Same goes for The Lox's "If You Think I'm Jiggy" remix.

88, 89, 90, 94, and 95 were better than both of those years.

yeah, the song N.O.R.E. was a big fukkin hit. I remember being on some compilation or soundtrack i used to listen to a lot. Let me see if I can remember

 

[JustCKing]

I'd say the point at which everbody wanted and got a Neptunes beat was after Mystikal's "Shake It Fast" took off. After that, they were on everybody's albuns from Jay to Luda to Busta to Puff to Ray J to Mary J. Blige to remixes with Backstreet Boys to Britney Spears

I was 14 years old carrying a purple Sony radio.

Remembering hearing the title track on a Clue tape.

Playing Superthug loud as hell because it was my favorite track back then.
