Large Professor put him on bbq and his buzz grew from that. What's the issue?
Nah. I'm talking about the immediate push to crown illmatic as THE hip hop despite the streets saying otherwise

Ready To Die was the most hyped and talked about release that year. I remember it.

Nas got a big push from the media and they spent the rest of the 90s tryna push him.

Wasn't until ether resurrected his career.

Not saying he's a fraud or nothing like that. He's still the goat. Just an industry plant

the same thing y'all talking about now with rappers was something that Nas did

Nobody was bumpin illmatic like that , I actually heard ready to die everywhere and it sold records

Illmatic got "critical acclaim" from white magazines and y'all ate it up. The same shyt that y'all get at rappers like chance the rapper about

He wasnt poppin in the streets. All that heavy promo. He had a budget. How at the tender age of 19 and no buzz and nobody Checkin for him. Barely any background in hip hop outside of 1 or 2 songs

Nas was a plant. He's still the goat but he was a plant

You can watch Jays rise. from Hawaiian Sophie etc cannot say the same about Nas and Nas is my favorite rapper ever

Fact
See, you know how I know you're an idiot off top?

Cos you don't know basic hip hop historical facts like the reason Illmatic didn't sell that well was because everyone already had it on bootleg ya dummy.
