that nikka a goofy

majority of folks in the south never heard of 50 till In The Club.

Only NY cats we listened to back then was Hov & Dipset then 50 came and exploded everywhere with In The Club

Y'all never heard of 50 until In the Club? Did y'all not read hip-hop magazines? There were articles in XXL, The Source and Blaze about the song. They did a reaction piece to the song in Blaze. And he kept getting into ish after that, so he was all over the (hip-hop) news...Life on the Line video got underground station airplay. AND then you got the return jabs from artists. And Sticky dissed him on Jackin for Beats '99.

Nas in that Hot 97 interview where he called out Cam, Nore, and Nelly for having weak lyrics and told them to step their game up.
