I always loved the You Owe Me video for when they switched to all them wearing Rams gear. That's when they won the Super Bowl.




















I miss my team. I hate them now because I used to love them.

Nas was wack because he was wack during that time,it wasn't just the singles....listen to his first four albums in order and you know Jay was right on Takeover....the fact everybody else saw it was what made Takeover so potent....yll luv to rewrite history though.

Have you Nas stans ever made a thread thanking Jay?because you really should.

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

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

I gotta agree with both of these points but the verses themselves was kinda hot. Not lyrical masterpieces but it went hard and his flow was on point.

Oochie Wally is a classic...

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 Nas performed Oochie at the Maxwell show on Valentine's Day the crowd was lit

Nah I Am was truly wack too..and Jay didnt have a album as wack as I Am or Nastradamus until Kingdom Come....Vol 3 might be close,but not quite.

I domt even hate the idea of Nas "selling out" like some of these nikkas,it felt more natural/authentic than some of the pandering I think he started to do for his stans sake.

but the music was just wack breh...yall cant rewrite this,he went from the lead at Biggies passing,to being about 5th in line out of NY,because of the wackness.

Yall can act like Jay was next up and just lucky to be in line after Biggie died,but its not the case. Quite a few nikkas just leap frogged the shyt outta Nas.

You thought that "Hero" shyt was Good?you owe me is horrible looking back like alot of things,but not horrible at the time....the album itself is what deservingly got the hate/indifference.
