i mean...I know its the popular thing to say and to some extent, they were right to call these commercial attempts but Oochie Wally and You Owe Me aged pretty fukking well (especially Oochie Wally...hoes still lose they shyt in the club to it) #NoRevisionist
When I went to see Dave Chappelle last year at my school his DJ played You Owe Me and all the ladies started dancing and singing along to the shyt.

Nah fam. U dead wrong.

1) nas sold out in 1996. He literally sold out record stores.

2) do you listen to music or skim thru it? Nastradamus nor QB finest singles were representative of the album content

Jeez I forgot how cheesy that Nastradamus video was. The hook is awful as well.

'You Owe Me' is classic 8th grade shyt....I copped 'Nastradamus' because Nas is my favorite, but I won't say the singles weren't a factor either.....I can't listen to 'Oochie Wally', but 'You Owe Me' is a nostalgic trip through winter 1999 for me, and that gets play....It was always a struggle to finish 'Oochie Wally'.
