The thread is about Nas L's. I'm a Nas fan, not a stan. Nas is my man, but I can seperate the man from the musician, and as such, I recognize that Nas has taken many L's. Pointing out Nas L's is just joshing, capping, or joining, not hating. First of off, I responded to someone who said Illmatic taking 7, or 8 years to go platinum was a L. Thats not a L, thats just plain hating. The poster who said this was probably a Jay stan. It's hyprocital to say Illmatic taking a long time to go platinum is a L, when Reasonable Doubt took a long time to go platinum. Both Illmatic, and Reasonable Doubt, even though I don't like Jay, are two of the most influential albums ever recorded. Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson were two of the most influential blues musicians, if not musicians of all time. If you listen to, or read articles, interviews with British musicians from the 60's, and 70's, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, will all say that they were influenced by these black musicians, whether it was R&B, early rock, or blues musicians. These British musicians have gone on to sell tens of millions of records. By your logic, these blues musicians, because they didn't sell millions of records, all took L's, despite the fact they are legends. Either you're on meth, or just stupid, either way you should cancel your coli account. Anyone who thinks Illmatic taking a while to go platinum is a dumbass idiot.

I don't care about that dude personal life. His lyrical ability and his constant consistent albums were enough for me. Nas didn't come in the game on some gimmick shyt. He's been about his music from day one. Whether he's broke or not, this man is arguably the greatest rapper of all time. You old young nikkas need to fall back and get off French montana's and future dikk.

I'm just pointing out that Reasonable Doubt sold well right out the gate. Gold in its calendar year and platinum by I'd guess 1998 when Jay got huge and it was reissued. You tried to liken that to however long it took Illmatic to sell gold then plat.


Not the same thing.


Illmatic > Reasonable Doubt
