Was CNN's War Report really that BIG when it Dropped?

Reasonable doubt was trash... pure revisionist history no one checkin for it...

Me being from the South, I never heard much about it

lol at this excuse

Reasonable Doubt was trash?

It definitely slipped thru the cracks due to so much heat dropping in 96 but you can go head with that bullshyt. Everybody who heard that album at the time loved it

I was running with Brooklyn dudes at the time who barely knew who jay was.... he was the dude who sampled Nas.

You exposing yourself. You were running with Brooklyn dudes who only knew who didn't know who he was? Even here in Baltimore nikkas remembered him from the Original Favor joint and Hawaiian Sophie

It was huge in NY, NJ, Philly...underground street ish. The War Report and Ghetto Millionaire are the last 2 traditional East Coast street albums in hip-hop, before the pop wave took over completely.

Murda Muzik?

I'm from the Bay and I copped War Report on release date.
TONY got video play, I don't remember hearing anything on the radio outside of mix shows.
They got write ups in the Source.
They were up next from QB like others had said.

Reasonable doubt was trash... pure revisionist history no one checkin for it... The infamous was an instant classic not sure what would make you call it small potatoes. Clearly it's not a pop crossover album. There are legends in every genre who don't hit 18 on the charts et alone number one.

RD went Gold in 96, how can you say nobody was checking for it??

Ain't No Ni**a was major in FL back then. I remember the Delta's stepping to it at FAMU.

37 year old San Diego native right here, and that album was very big at my high school amongst those that knew a damn thing about rap music.

I'll give you Reasonable Doubt but definitely not the Infamous. You named two Wu albums like the Wu wasn't the biggest group at the from 94-97. Only group that can be compared is Bone

Don't give me anything,I'll take both. Neither were big deals
Ob4cl flopped
Iron man wasn't shyt,supreme clientele wasn't shyt,all are championed as if they were.
Bone was the biggest group. Wu tang played second fiddle.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Prove it wasn't..... I went to Germany in 1995 and it was even lit over there.

It flopped,what you didn't know?
