This is probably coming from a Jay stan. :leostare: didn't Reasonable Doubt take six years to go platinum :ohhh: Part of the reason why Illmatic didn't sell very well was because it was heavily bootlegged, and a lot of people in the New York tri state region recorded a lot of the songs that were on the album off the radio.
At least Nas didn't bytch about it, even though it was heavily bootlegged. Camel tried his usual sneaky revisionist bullshyt.

THIS is why you clown nyggas are so corny..

I KNEW somebody was coming in here with that argument. lmao

y'all some remedial ass nyggas.

Whats 1+1 my nygga?:smugfavre:

:salute:

Thanks bro. Actually, arguably it's better since he was able to stay grounded in the game for a little longer and I'm positive that was good for his music.

Probably helped him save a little dough too, but at the end of the day that's shot cus of his supreme L.

Ill go with Kelis non prenup/moving to California as his first major L. lol

the trickle down effect got the accountants and IRS investigating his finances.

I concur. The shyt people called L's before that is asinine. Oh, someone fukked your ex... big deal.

I always thought Kelis was pretty cute, and I'm sure she got Nas open, but marrying with no pre-nup in his position is just cray.

Reasonable Doubt went Gold in it's calendar year. It was a huge success story.

Deep in the south kickin uptop game
im guessin the fight he talked about losing on "In Between Us" wit face

Circumstances are like my first fight I lost
It was swinging, my arms bugging, adrenaline pumping
Oh shyt, this little nikka's thugging
I mean, I was thirteen, I was nursing a knot on my face
But chose another time and a place
That I would avenge my last fight cuz the same shyt
Ain't gonna happen that just happened last night
Knuckle game changed quicker than lightning
Hit 'em or slice 'em
Either stick 'em or blast pipes, its the fastlife
